Some publications assert that Robert Paton, also an international from the same neighbourhood, was his brother,[5] but this is incorrect; however his actual elder brothers were footballers: Alex had several seasons with Bolton Wanderers, and Jim also played for Vale of Leven and Aston Villa.[2][6][7]
