Poet of the Macabre Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Following Arsenal's pathetic capitulation at Bournemouth yesterday, Jamie Redknapp made the assertion that none of the current team would ever be inducted into the Hall of Fame. It got me thinking; how many Dunfermline players in the last 20 years will be seen as club legends? For the Pars, I think guys like Stevie Crawford, Andy Tod and Andrius Skerla have already been recognised by the club. Of the current crop, Joe Cardle would probably be the only credible shout. I think football fans are always likely to get misty-eyed and nostalgic about players of the past but we're more critical of modern stars. With that in mind, who from your team over the past two decades would be a realistic HoF contender? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Believe The Hype Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 I think Falkirk base it on making over 200 appearances. Craig sibbald qualifies and I would have him in there anyway considering he's won player of the year so many times as well as being brought through the academy.

roman_bairn Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Obvious ones for Falkirk are Kevin McAllister and Russell Latapy. Although plenty of others... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fony Titz Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 A lot of our recent players have been inducted mainly due to the Cup win and two League wins as well in the last twenty years. Of current squad Craig Samson if not already in should be if we win the league this year. Others depending on what happens could potentially be C Smith, Gav Reilly, Jack Ross (depending on how long they stick around). Stephen McGinn is probably a stick on though his mum and dad should be honoury members too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buddist Monk Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 It sounds crude because it is, but..... ...our hall of fame should be Mrs McGinn's nether regions, for they have provided us with some great entertainment over the years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sloop John B Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 As the last 17 years have been the best period in years there actually a few candidates including the ones who have already made it. Actually in a Hall of Fame Jim Thomson Derek Lyle Paul Burns Andy Thomson Those that should be in: Andy Aitken John O Neill Sean O’Connor Members of the Hall of quite good: Dan Carmichael Eric Paton Chris Higgins Stephen McKenna Those who deserve to have every first born child named in his honour: Stephen Dobbie.

Szamo's_Ammo Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Craig Conway for cup final heroics and being a very good player over a 5 year spell and part of our most successful side in many years. Barry Robson was a world class player in a fairly poor side for a number of years. He won plenty of matches almost single-handedly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAFC. Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Stevie Crawford, Craig Brewster, Andrius Skerla, Andy Tod, Stewart Petrie, Joe Cardle are the ones that spring to mind. All legends to a man. Was half tempted to chuck Marco Ruitenbeek in there for being a mad, crazy b*****d of a goalie. Was quality tbf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingTON Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Brian Wake for being the Lord and Saviour; Sir Douglas Imrie for scoring the winner against Celtic on their own horrible midden in 2013; Sir Gavin Gunning for his heroic defensive cameo spell and unsurpassed ability to generate seethe. The vast majority of Morton players over the last twenty years are gubbins snakes, who should have their images scrubbed out of historic team photos like Stalin did with Yezhov.

Fony Titz Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 BairdyBairdy I'm a big fan of The Baird [emoji48] I'd put him in the same bracket as Smith, Reilly and JR as need to see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His interviews have been very clever since he came back. Getting the fans onside and pulling our heart strings like a puppet master.He's like a modern day Fitzy.

Arfield maybe aye, played over 100 top flight games for us after coming up from the academy and has moved onto be a great player down south and should be capped for Scotland. I wouldnt say McGovern deserves it though, great goalie but wouldnt put him in a Falkirk FC Hall of Fame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afro Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 What's a reasonable number of inductees once a Hall of Fame is formed initially? Obviously, we don't have one because some posters on this site have had milk in their fridge longer than we've been in West Lothian, but it would be a bit of a riddy if we kicked it off with too few, leaving more for space in the future (don't laugh), or just threw every half decent "hero" to have played with us in a very eventful two decades in. Out of the current squad, Neil Alexander would be a certainty, as would Keaghan Jacobs. Delving into the past, you could be looking at guys like Brian McPhee, Barry Wilson, Marvin Andrews, Rubio, David Fernandez, Burton O'Brien, Roddy MacKenzie, then onto more recent players like Liam Fox (no joke), Iain Russell, Jason Talbot... f**k having to try and whittle that down. Would be a very decent thing if we were to kick this off in 2020, marking 25 years in the town. A player per year would be more than enough IMO.
