Thanks, Alan, it is an informative obituary. Eric made his debut for Dunfermline in July 1951, a 4-5 defeat by Albion Rovers in the first round of the St. Mungo Quaich. A record crowd of 19,491 saw the League Cup quarter-final tie against Rangers but this was broken only a few months later when 23,2...

Four more possibilities with King's Park connections, so they may need further research. Archibald McLellan - Private S/5816, 9th Seaforth Highlanders. Killed by shell fire on 18th April 1918, aged 24. From Stirling, reported as having played for Cowie Wanderers and 'engaged in a number of matches f...

I've only just noticed this!

Heartfelt thanks to David for creating and maintaining this excellent site, and well done Alan for taking it on. Good luck to both of you.

Thanks, I thought that was the case. It seems that Cowdenbeath, Lochgelly and Dunfermline wanted to withdraw from the Northern League because they were earning little more than the guarantee from away fixtures. At the meeting in Kirkcaldy in March to discuss the Fife League proposal, Hearts of Beath...

David, were Cowdenbeath not expelled from the 1902/03 King Cup after going ahead with a pre-arranged Northern League match instead of their cup tie? Dunfermline did the same on 7th February, playing Cowdenbeath in the Wemyss Cup after being ordered by the East of Scotland FA to play a Consolation Cu...

There had been a trail match at Mossilee on Wednesday, 4 April with a view to selecting a team to play Heart of Midlothian, Celtic and Rangers later in the month, according to the Southern Reporter the following day. It gives the teams and the clubs they represented. If you haven't got access to the...

Celtic played a Borders Select on Wednesday, 18 April 1906 at Mossilee, Galashiels. I believe the score was 4-0 to Celtic. A newspaper report on the day of the game gave Celtic's team as Adams, Watson, McLeod, Young, McNair, Hay, Bennett, McMenemy, Quinn, Somers, Bauchop. However, a later report sai...

George Duthie of Dunfermline also scored 14 penalties in 1957/58. Like Hubbard it was 12 League & 2 League Cup. They must have shared the British record until 1971/72, when that infamous Manchester City player Lee Won Pen netted 13 in the league and 2 in cup-ties. Leatherstocking, Baird & Shearer al...

Dunfermline used 14 players in winning promotion in 1933/34. It would perhaps have been lower but for the four different players given a run in the 'problem' number nine jersey.

This was covered fairly comprehensively in a thread from August 2008, 'Qualification for the Fairs Cup in the 1960's'.

He was also selected to play against Ireland at Pittodrie on 31 May.

Anyone know the Scottish scorers in the Wales & Ireland matches?

Four more to add: James Chalmers - 1/4 Royal Scots Fusiliers, died Gallipoli, 12 July 1915. Played for Morton (1896/97), Sunderland, Preston NE, Notts County, Partick Thistle (1900/01), Spurs, Swindon & Norwich. Alexander Phillips - Sapper, 446th Company, Royal Engineers, died 1 August 1917. Played ...

I would imagine it happened fairly frequently in the pre-WW1 Scottish Qualifying Cup, which was given precedence over other competitions. In 1910/11 Dunfermline met Kirkcaldy United in four successive QC ties between 17 September and 5 October. Dunfermline also played Raith Rovers four times in a ro...

If Snuff's book only lists the players in alphabetical order, I can give you the correct formation.
