He made his debut in the 1960/61 season, but over the first four seasons of his Motherwell career, Willie played in only 24 matches. However that total began to increase from 1964 onwards and by the time he left the club in 1973, he had amassed 277 league outings with a further 65 cup appearances. Remarkably, for such a big fellow, he scored just a solitary goal. Visiting fans might recall that came against St Johnstone back in 1966 at Fir Park. Very much a dependable player, McCallum was proud to play for his local side and was an exemplary professional. He later spent brief spells with Raith Rovers and St Mirren before retiring.
