On the 12th March 1977, a group of members of the Midlothian Suite/ Rosebery Suite and the Ace of Hearts Club, which were all part of a SociaI Club located at the rear of the Tynecastle Stand, organised a collection for flowers for the funeral of WiIlie Bauld, who died the previous day.The response was so great that it was proposed to form a Memorial Fifty Club, with restricted membership selected by the founder members who were Jimmy Hay, Arthur Muir and Tom Watson. A number of fund raising events were held, and with the proceeds added to the remainder of the collection money, theWiIlie Bauld Cup was made. The Cup was designed by Jim Daly, a Sheffield man, and it was, and still is, a thing of beauty, being entirely hand made.
