Or was his surname Dunbar? Joe Dunbar, maybe? He signed from Newtongrange Star. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enigma Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 (edited) We also signed a couple of guys from Musselburgh in McGlynn’s first spell Paul Currie and another Paul? One went on to play for a couple of the Angus clubs for a few seasons but the other went back down to the juniors. There was another lad, Andrew Cook, who I think was signed from Edinburgh Uni around that time too.

Jilted John Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 I remember Andrew Cook. He was actually pretty decent if I remember rightly! Who was the winger we signed who was deaf? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going back quite a bit there - possibly the Anelka season? There were a few random players brought in when Dave Martin was DoF. Remember a guy called David Evans from Tayport as well. He seemed to really struggle hitting a football, which is never great for a striker. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he had a decent junior career after leaving us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah Evans had scored a bucket load for Tayport but he was miles away from being at the level required. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The great Dave Martin story I heard was that the pen was poised to be put to paper on a contract for a youth player who Watford were looking to offload… Ashley Young. I’m sure footballs full of those kind of stories and I’m not sure quite how close we were to actually signing him or how true it even is but it’s a thought.

Who was the winger we signed who was deaf? Cook was OK, but was a wee bit Bambi on ice at times. He was pretty much second choice behind Ellis that season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philpy Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 The best player to come through the junior ranks in the league just now has to be mikey mckenna. Would have liked to see him at raith, but he's part time at arbroath and runs his own electrical business. He stays In musselburgh, rovers would have been easier travelling, but I suppose the safety net of guaranteed work through his business is a good thing for him. I often take in some mussy athletic games, and there are some good players in the lower leagues that raith could have a look at. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think our own former Raith man Kevin Twaddle also came from the juniors. He was signed by St Johnstone from Dunbar I think ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RRFC1989 Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 Ellis sacked by QP. Would like to see him join the staff here and learn from McGlynn. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He obviously hasn't learned much from other managers he's been under. I would rather Berra was lined up as a future coach. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philpy Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 (edited) Shite that it's not worked out for him and bert. Two of the nicest guys you will meet, but sadly it's a cut throat business.

Berra could be a potential manager, maybe lower league first. But hey Nicholl was a first time manager and see what he achieved, albeit Martin Harvey was pivitol in that early success 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
