When
people stumble across this site, they are sometimes
looking for some information on someone who played
for Cowdenbeath in days of old. Unfortunately we
do not have a great deal of club history, until
recently following an appeal from the webmaster.
At the end of 2000 an Email was received from Billy
Shankland, it read as follows:
Thought
you might like a copy of these papers I never did
get to see my father play football he had given
it up by the time I came along in 1957 and he died
back in 1974, I am in the middle of some research
into his playing days, looking for anything with
his name or face on. He went to Airdrie after leaving
Cowdenbeath then on to Chelmsford, keep up the good
work on the website.
- Billy Shankland
For
die-hard Cowden fans this is the equivalent of finding
the Holy Grail, obviously it is too good to keep
on a PC when other interested parties can view them.
