Career & Clubs
Petrie signed for Arbroath from local club Strathmore. On 12 September 1885, Petrie, at the age of 18, scored 13 times for Arbroath in a record 36–0 win over Bon Accord. In 1891, Petrie signed for Distillery, playing in the Irish League for a season, before returning to Arbroath. After retiring from football, Petrie later held roles as a kitman, trainer and groundsman for Arbroath until his retirement in 1920, where his career was commemorated with a benefit match against rivals Forfar Athletic, held on his behalf.
Aftermath
At an international level, his record was not equaled until 2001 by Archie Thompson who scored 13 goals for Australia in a 31–0 win over American Samoa. A street in Arbroath, Petrie Way, is named in his honour. In 2017, Petrie was inducted into Arbroath's hall of fame.
