arthur h. milne -lrb- 1914 -- 1997 -rrb- was a scottish football player , who was a prolific goalscorer for dundee united .
born in brechin in 1915 , milne played for local club brechin vics , until signing for united in 1934 .

milne continued his prolific rate of scoring , netting 85 goals in 81 appearances for united .
no other player in the club 's history has achieved a ratio better than one goal per game .
milne had a pay dispute with united in 1937 , which led to him going on trial with liverpool .
this trial , however , created a registration mix-up which led to milne being declared a free agent .
hibernian took advantage of the opportunity to sign milne for no fee .
milne also scored goals at a good rate for hibs , finishing as their top scorer in the next two seasons .
his career , however , was interrupted by the second world war , which curtailed competitive football in the united kingdom .
when league football resumed in 1946 , milne 's career was nearing its end .
he only played in three league matches , scoring one goal , for hibs after the war before being sold to st. mirren for # 1650 .
milne played for the paisley club for four seasons , before moving to northern ireland in the summer of 1950 to become a player/coach of coleraine .
milne represented scotland once , in a wartime international against england .
