After reading the Morton match report today it got me thinking. Are there any other players who have won a league winners medal and been relegated from the same league in the same season?

Is this referring to Brian Wake?

He won't have "won" a league winners medal. Accies might well choose to give him one though. That would be up to them.

Aye thats what I mean. (As good as winning it hes made more than enough appearances) Can't think of anybody else.

In 2001/02 Warren Hawke made six league appearances (and one cup) for us before falling out with John Connolly and departing for Morton. At the end of the season we were champions and Morton were relegated.

He didn't get a medal though. There's no "appearances" criteria for SFL medals. The champion club get 20 medals from the league and can do what the Hell they want with them. They can give them to who they want at their own discretion. Players with less appearances than Hawke got one for us that season because they happened to be with us at the end of the season. Be surprised if Accies give one to Wake. I doubt most clubs give one to players who have left, especially these days when the windows mean they've been away more or less half a season and not potentially just a month or so.

EDITED to add: Now I think about it Allan Moore did the same thing that season in the other direction. He joined us from Morton in December and made 12 appearances, and he did get a medal. Though of course he wasn't actually with Morton when they were relegated.

Likewise in 1996/97, Gary Bowman joined us from Clydebank. We won the league and the Bankies were relegated.
