Never mind all that stuff! True or false? 40 years ago (today) after a match against Brechin City an old man was walking past EEP as the final whistle sounded. He swears that he heard booing from a section of the home support. Being a lapsed Pars supporter who no longer attended the games he feared the worst. As the crowd began to dissipate he approached a slightly disgruntled Pars fan.
'What was the score son?' asked the old man
'Dunfermline won 8-0' replied the fan.
Ask Jim Leishman. I think he was playing.
Apparently the first half was a dazzling display of attacking football from the Pars. Half-time scoreline 6-0. The second half simple fizzled out hence the reason for the discontent.(Allegedly)
