S-Forms were introduced in 1967 at the request of Scottish clubs but came in the wake of one of them provoking a storm of controversy by signing a 13 year-old, which rendered him ineligible for a possible schoolboy cap. It was mainly intended to counter the problem of talented youngsters heading to ...

Jimmy Stein (presumably the Dunfermline & Everton winger)
1904 to 1979

Andrew Paterson
1890 to 1984

When Frederick Uren began playing for Dunfermline he was employed at the munitions/ordnance works at Crombie, a couple of miles along the coast from Rosyth. He was still working there in September 1916 - he was fined for showing too much illumination from his house at 23 Camp Road in Crombie! There ...

Belated or not it's very welcome. I'm grateful for your help.

Sorry, forgot to add the following. It looks like the winners of sections 5-8 were entered into a draw to see who would play the winners of section nine. In 1955 & 1956 the section winner with the lowest points did indeed play the section nine winners but not the following year - Montrose played Ham...

The only mention I've come across is in "The First 100 Years" by Bob Crampsey, who wrote that from 1955 (when the league increased to 37 clubs) the winner of section nine had to play a decider against one of the other Second Division clubs. It looks like sections 1-4 were the domain of the top sixte...

It's been a while since this was updated so hopefully this will kick-start it with a view to the centenary of the armistice later in the year. Apologies if these five have already been included - I had a quick look and they don't appear to be, but I've made that mistake before. Harry Adam - Private ...

Alex Donald made seven league appearances for Dunfermline in 1936/37, without scoring. All seven ended in defeat with thirty goals conceded. From information supplied by another Rovers historian, Stephen Byrne, Alex Donald died on 6 July 1974 in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. John was his young...

Could the Blairhall Colliery player be Pat Wilson? He signed for Dunfermline in August 1962 as a sixteen year old and later played for Aberdeen, Raith & Cowdenbeath. I didn't know he'd played for Scotland Juniors.

I think the Rosslyn Juniors player in 1931 may have been Peter Ronan, not Rowan. He signed for Cardiff City at the end of the season.

Another one - George Mailer, St. Ninian's Thistle.

John Gow, Inverkeithing 1923. He played for Dunfermline Athletic in 1919/20 and East Stirlingshire in 1920/21, both seasons in the Central League.

Brown was the Dunfermline Juniors goalkeeper in the 1897 Scottish Junior Cup Final. I think his initial was J. but his first name eludes me at present.

George Izatt was captain of the Athletic Juniors when he was capped. He later became Provost of Dunfermline. Jimmy Ford and Jimmy Moultrie played for Dunfermline Juniors. Both later joined the Athletic. Tom Doig played for the Athletic Juniors. David Taylor played for Dunfermline Juniors. Both he an...

Dunfermline weren't originally scheduled to be playing Alloa on 23 December - they were supposed to be at Clydebank but that was postponed. I can only assume that Alloa didn't have a game on the 23rd and agreed to bring forward their fixture from 21 April. It must have been clear fairly early that t...
