Full Name: Henry Yorston.
Joined the Dons from local side St Clements in 1946 and went on to become one the Dons greatest forwards. The nephew of earlier Dons' legend, Benny, Harry was an integral part of the Dons' 1955 League winning side, Yorston scored vital goals in the Dons championship season. Capped for Scotland and the Scottish League, Yorston resisted the temptation to join the trail to England by retiring from senior football in 1957 to take up employment as a fish market porter. Also assisted Buckie, Fraserburgh, Deveronvale and Lossiemouth in the latter part of his career. Famously had a big football pools win in the seventies. Took part in the newly established Youth Academy at Pittodrie from 1976.
Died - Aberdeen, 14th June 1992
