Ormond was part of the historic Hibernian 'Famous Five' alongside Bobby Johnstone, Lawrie Reilly, Gordon Smith and Eddie Turnbull, who each scored over 100 goals for the Club.
Willie joined the Hibees in 1946 signing from Stenhousemuir. The outside-left forward went on to have a decorated Hibernian career, spanning 15 years.
During that time Ormond won three league championships in the space of four years (1948, 1951 and 1952). He scored 189 goals in over 500 appearances in green and white and represented Scotland six times internationally.
Willie was the last member of the 'Famous Five' to leave the Club in 1961. After hanging up his playing boots at his hometown club Falkirk, Willie embarked on his next adventure, coaching and management.
He was fondly remembered for his successful six years at St Johnstone, where he guided the Saints to European football for the first time in their history in 1971.
Ormond was appointed Scotland Manager in 1973 and held the position for four years. He led the Scots to the 1974 World Cup in West Germany, winning one game and drawing two as Scotland finished the tournament the only undefeated team, despite exiting in the group stages on goal difference.
Willie finished his managerial career at his beloved Hibernian, joining his former teammate Eddie Turnbull as Assistant Manager in 1980 before taking over at the helm when Turnbull resigned.
Unfortunately his health deteriorated and he retired later that year.
Willie died on May 4, 1984 aged 57. The Hibs legend will always be fondly remembered for his outstanding contribution during a golden period of the Club's history.
