Playing career

Templeton played most of his career at Ayr United. There, he formed part of an attacking trio alongside Tommy Walker and John Sludden.[2] Led by ex-Scotland manager Ally MacLeod, in 1987–88 Ayr were Second Division champions and Scotland's highest league scorers. The start of Templeton's final season at Somerset Park was interrupted by an injury sustained in a Scottish League Cup defeat to Celtic in August 1990,[1] though he recovered to take part in the 1990 Scottish Challenge Cup Final, only to finish on the losing side. In February 1991 he was sold on to Clydebank,[3] staying for only six months before joining Queen of the South. In 2007, Templeton was inducted into the Ayr United Hall of Fame.
