Bauld though professed a great admiration for Willie McNaught as the man who gave Bauld his toughest games. The then veteran McNaught was fondly remember by Jim Menzies as a real gentleman. Tom Dawson played with McNaught in retirement with Fife all-stars commenting, "The guy that amazed me in those games was ex-Raith and Scotland star Willie McNaught. Even at the age of 52 he would just stroll through games."
