East
Fife’s Wullie Broon. The only man in the world that
could make Dick Campbell look like a male catwalk
model. Wullie is fondly remembered by the Cowden
fans for his great never say die attitude. This
was particularly evident when Cowden played East
Fife at Bayview a few years back and he attempted
to jump into the crowd whilst offering the entire
visiting support the pleasure of a ‘square go’.
The referee looked upon this as unacceptable and
duly sent Wullie packing his trunk.
Jim
Leishman the former Cowden assistant manager and
current pin up with any Townie follower. Recently
Jim the messiah has failed to featured in any of
the national press or TV coverage which leads us
to believe that Jim has finally left football to
continue his hobby of standing in the middle of
the road with his vast girth and acting as a temporary
roundabout. This was one of the main reasons that
he jumped at the chance when the offer came in to
manage Livingston. Finally we are desperate to find
the whereabouts of a couple of ‘giants’ in the world
of Fife football.
Craig
McFarlane and Craig Robertson have made their place
in Fife footballing history as being the only two
players that needed to have a pair of strips sewn
together so they could get a game for a team. People
thought that McFarlane was superstitious when he
always wore his lucky 1411 jersey at Central Park
whilst older Townies still hold Robertson in high
esteem as he would always make the opposing midfield
work extremely hard (when they had to run round
him).
We
are desperate to find out what has happened to these
Fife footballing heroes.
