Just a few observations on the list of Dunfermline managers. Peter Wilson was definitely still manager until the outbreak of war. On the suspension of football he returned to his home town of Beith and found employment there, although he never contacted the club again. At a board meeting on 12th Oct...

Thanks, Brian, 1-5 is quite bad enough!

Scottish FA - Could you confirm that in the 1948/49 Supplementary League, Section B, the score on April 27 was Dunfermline 1 Leith 8?
If so, the final table would be wrong - it suggests a score of 1-5.
Thanks

Local paper in Dunfermline gave scorers as McGrogan, Reid and Syme. There wasn't a player named Byrne at the club at that or any other time.

In 1951/52 both the Queen's Park v Dunfermline and Partick v Dundee matches were re-arranged to take place on Xmas Day - a Tuesday. The Queen's Park game was originally scheduled for 13 October but Celtic played Rangers in the League Cup semi at Hampden that day. Queen's thought they'd get a bigger ...

Scotland being the only part of the UK to have an official Bank Holiday on Xmas Day probably explains why I've heard so many older Dunfermline supporters talking about working in the morning and going to East End Park in the afternoon - Rosyth Dockyard followed English public holidays. I naively ass...

Dunfermline's match against Berwick Rangers was switched to the 27th December 1976 "in the hope that, with many people being on holiday on the Monday, this will attract a bigger crowd and at the same time allow players, officials, etc., the opportunity to spend Christmas at home." I suppose most oth...

Is there a publication available that lists the teams for all the Scottish Junior International fixtures? I'm particularly interested in late 19th/ early 20th century matches.

That could be him, certainly, although there is a much stronger resemblance in the 1913 Falkirk picture.
Thanks again.

There is a Dunfermline team photo supposedly taken in 1917 in which the only identified player is goalkeeper Willie Sharp (I think it originated from a family member). As far as I can make out, Sharp only played in the first team during 1916/17 but Jimmy Robertson is almost certainly in the picture ...

I'm hoping John Meffen can help me with a little more info about this player. On a previous topic, he's listed as playing for Dunfermline during 1915/16, (from August to December when he was recalled to Falkirk), but do you know if he returned to Dunfermline the following season? A player called Rob...

Alex Donald made seven league appearances for Dunfermline during 1936/37. Sorry, no idea when he died or if he had a brother named John.

Perhaps it's true that clubs didn't look after the health of their players but the players didn't either - Jackie Sinclair was, like many others from that and earlier eras, a fairly heavy smoker.

Sadly, Jackie passed away on holiday yesterday after suffering from cancer for some time. He was 67.
A Pars legend and a real gentleman.

HibeeJibee, do you need Dunfermline's scorers for the Fife Cup matches?
