William Semple Brown "Willie" Wallace (born 23 June 1940, in Kirkintilloch) is a former Scottish football player and coach.
Club career
Early career
He started his playing career with Stenhousemuir in 1958, moving to Raith Rovers a year later. It was in Kirkcaldy that "Wispy", as Wallace was nicknamed, developed his reputation as a top-class goal poacher, his skills being rewarded with a first Scottish League cap.
Hearts
Wallace's form attracted attention from larger clubs, Heart of Midlothian eventually spending £15,000 to take him to Edinburgh in April 1961. The increased pressure for success at Tynecastle initially curtailed his scoring exploits, for he was expected to replace no less a figure than Alex Young, the "Golden Vision", whom Hearts had sold to Everton a couple of months earlier. By season 1962–63, however, Wallace was fully settled into the tactics of manager Tommy Walker, and he would become Hearts' top scorer for the next four seasons through to 1965–66. In doing so, he helped Hearts win the 1962–63 Scottish League Cup and come within a goal of winning the 1964–65Scottish League, while gaining full international recognition for Scotland.
Wallace is the remains of a lunarcrater that has been flooded by lava. It lies in the southeastern part of Mare Imbrium, to the northeast of the crater Eratosthenes. The crater rim forms a somewhat polygonal outline, and is broken in the southeast. The floor is flat and devoid of significant features, but it is overlain by ray material from Copernicus to the southwest. The rim ascends to an altitude of 0.4km above the lunar mare.
Satellite craters
By convention these features are identified on Lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater midpoint that is closest to Wallace.
The following craters have been renamed by the IAU.
In 2010 the company was valued at US$417 million. Sales at the company grew 416% from 2007 to 2010. In 2010 the total combined sales at CNHLS and Dico's combined was $1.3 billion USD (3.91 billion renminbi). By 2012 the chain was competing with KFC. In 2012 the company had about 3,000 restaurants, and this number grew to about 4,000 in 2013. The restaurant was No. 2 in the China Daily list of the " Top 10 fast-food chains in China".

Braveheart: William Wallace Freedom Speech [Full HD]
Wallace: Sons of Scotland, I am William Wallace.
Young soldier: William Wallace is 7 feet tall.
Wallace: Yes, I've heard. Kills men by the hundreds, and if he were here he'd consume the English with fireballs from his eyes and bolts of lightning from his arse. I am William Wallace. And I see a whole army of my countrymen here in defiance of tyranny. You have come to fight as free men, and free men you are. What would you do without freedom? Will you fight?
Veteran soldier: Fight? Against that? No, we will run; and we will live.
Wallace: Aye, fight and you may die. Run and you'll live -- at least a while. And dying in your beds many years from now, would you be willing to trade all the days from this day to that for one chance, just one chance to come back here and tell our enemies that ...

In a far of land there lived a beautiful butterfly In a kingdom full of blossom covered trees And winding through this paradise, a river danced along And played with the constant summer breeze The butterfly found a tiny branch at the riverside And watched the water rushing who-knows-where Carefully he sheltered from the power of the breeze For surely it could toss him through the air “I’m a butterfly,” he said, “trivial and small And in the greater scheme of things I don’t mean much at all So I’ll flap my wings to stretch myself and just enjoy the view I’m a butterfly, what more can I do?” One afternoon, the butterfly asked the river “Madam, what makes you hurry so? What splendid destination are you rippling toward? Where, oh, where do you go?” The river said, “I’m headed for the ocean And summer breeze inspires me to race My friend, you’d love the ocean, it’s remarkable to see Won’t you join our friendly chase?” “I’m a butterfly,” he said, “trivial and small And in the greater scheme of things I don’t mean much at all So I’ll flap my wings to stretch myself and just enjoy the view I’m a butterfly, what more can I do?” So the butterfly, he dreamed of the ocean He longed to flutter high above the seas But there are dangers in the sky for a tiny butterfly So from his branch he asked a question of the breeze “What makes you chase the river towards the ocean?” And the breeze told him a most amazing thing “I’m simply made up of the currents in the air That start from the movement of your wing, your tiny wing “You’re a butterfly my friend, powerful and strong And I’m grateful for the way you’ve always hurried me along When you flap your wings to stretch yourself, it might seem small to you But you change the world with everything you do” So he stretched his wings and took off from the safety of his tree
