McGuigan1978 Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 Anyone able to post, or link to, the Bayern XI that played in the Stark's Park friendly 1996? I searched for this the other week and drew a blank. I’m sure someone on here will have it though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McGuigan1978 Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 Does anyone have any information on the player who was mentioned in the Digest on Friday? I’m astounded that I’ve never heard of a guy called Fred Panther playing for us? Infuriatingly I don’t have Always Next Season so can’t look it up, and with the library being shut I can’t dig out old Fife Free Presses. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beachbum Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 The corner shop on the way to the ground on Pratt Street was called Panther's. Sure he was a pre-war player. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a quote from the 'On this day' section on the website, it shows up on a search, but when you click on the link it goes to todays OTD Quote Fred Panther scores four goals in Rovers 5-1 victory over Clydebank in the final game of the 1930-31 season. Hoggan was the other scorer from the penalty spot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
embow Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 Fred Panther indeed ran the shop on the corner of Pratt Street and Ramsay Road as a sweetie shop but also sold fags, tobacco and other day to day needs like fruit, milk, a loaf or butter. Went in as a kid on way to home games for sweets. He would have made quite a bit back in the 40's and 50's with the really big crowds every other week and no supermarket competition. There was always a queue on match day out along the pavement back towards William St. Fred was a centre forward in late 20's/early 30's. Came up from England and stayed the rest of his days. I'm not sure what club he was signed from. Maybe Hartlepool? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's correct, corner of Ramsay Road and Pratt Street. Used to go there when Fred owned it back in the day, good old guy, I think he was from Lancs or Yorks. I think he had goal scoring record for us like, 5 goals in one game!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raithie Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 Seen as we're going through a bit of nostalgia. If anyone is at home and bored...and has a scanner...and has old copies of Stark's Bark, 27/11 and The Menace. Yeah you know what I'm hinting at 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rovers1992/1993 Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 Jamie Watson is moving to Canada. Seen it on his Instagram story. He was always going to be away this summer anyway. Been at the club too long without ever being close to pushing for first team. Wish him all the best though! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broken Algorithms Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 That's good to hear. Deputised at points this season and it would've been a big ask for first team football moving forwards. All the best to the lad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I was told that was Panthers shop from a young age, I can also remember my dad saying He was fearless and never shirked a tackle, but the 1 time he did he broke his leg and my old man was there when it happened. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanElderRRFC Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 Another batch of games uploaded now.Chants of “sack the board” echoed around Celtic Park, despite a dominant performance by the team on the pitch against Raith Rovers.Gordon Dalziel struck twice for the home side to earn them a midweek victory against Dundee.Plenty of chances for both teams at Starks Park but it was Hibs who came out on top thanks to a great strike by Billy Findlay.Aberdeen missed their chance to move up into 2nd place as they were held to a 1-1 draw in Kirkcaldy.Raith had a strong claim for a penalty turned down as Kilmarnock took the points at Rugby Park.A rare David Sinclair goal gave Rovers the win against an out of form Hearts side.Craig Brewster was given a frosty reception on his return to Starks Park, but it was the ex Raith striker who would have the last laugh. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
