Timeline

1944

Donald Campbell Clark Ford (born 25 October 1944) is a Scottish former international footballer, best remembered for his 11-year playing stint with Heart of Midlothian.

1950

Despite Ford striking up a successful front pairing with Drew Busby, the side struggled to match the standards set in the 1950s and early 60s.

1964

Tommy Walker signed Ford for Hearts from junior side Bo'ness United in 1964, Ford having previously played with Vale of Avon.

Ford quickly made the adjustment to top flight football, playing 7 times in his first full season in Gorgie, as Hearts lost the 1964–65 League title to Kilmarnock on goal average.

At this stage, Ford was still playing as an amateur, combining football with studies in chartered accountancy.

This understandably affected his footballing development and Ford's appearances over the following seasons were sporadic.

His only honours were runners-up medals: for the League in 1964–65, for the 1967–68 Scottish Cup and the 1970–71 Texaco Cup.

1967

However, upon completion of his final accountancy exams in 1967, Ford signed professional terms and became an integral part of the Hearts first team.

1970

Indeed, Ford was one of only two Hearts players capped in the 1970s, the other being goalkeeper Jim Cruickshank.

Ford was an all-round sportsman and, as well as playing professional football, he was also a competent cricketer.

During his footballing years, he regularly played for the West Lothian County side during the summer off-season.

Ford's cricket career outlasted his footballing one, and so he was able to devote more time to it in his veteran years, captaining West Lothian for 3 seasons in his mid-thirties.

1973

Ford was capped 3 times for the Scotland national team, making his debut against Czechoslovakia in 1973.

He had previously played 9 times for the Scotland national amateur team.

1974

He was selected in the squad for the 1974 FIFA World Cup in West Germany but did not make an appearance.

Ford's international recognition was especially notable as his career coincided with a gradual decline in Hearts' playing fortunes.

1976

He played over 30 times in each of the following 8 seasons before eventually transferring to Falkirk in 1976 at the age of 32.

A serious knee injury forced him into retirement the following year.

1980

His undoubted cricketing highlight was selection in the first Scotland squad for the Benson & Hedges Cup, in 1980.

He was also involved with Radio Forth's local football coverage in the 1980s.

He played a significant role in persuading Wallace Mercer to invest in the club in the early 1980s, at a time when it teetered on the financial precipice.

Within 5 years of Mercer's involvement the club had returned to the top flight and European football.

1990

Ford has remained active in the public sphere since his retirement from the sporting fields, serving on the Scottish Sports Council for a spell in the 1990s and as a local councillor in Linlithgow.

1991

In 1991, Ford left the accountancy profession and became a professional landscape photographer, a field he continues to work in to this day.

As a proud Hearts supporter, Ford has maintained an active interest in the club since his playing retirement.

2004

Similarly, he was a vocal advocate of the fans campaign to prevent the sale of Tynecastle Stadium to clear debts by then Hearts chairman Chris Robinson during the 2004–05 season.

His father, Alexander, and brother, Malcolm, both played first-class cricket for Scotland.
