As a target man forward, Cochrane fed off the service of McMinn and Jimmy Robertson. Both mentioned Cochrane's contribution when later interviewed by the club as did manager Nobby Clark.[2] After winning promotion from the Scottish Second Division in 1986, Cochrane's career was cut short due to serious injury.[3]
