Ro Sham Bo Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 I'm sure Peers scored on his debut at East Stirling but he barely featured after that. Who knows if that was down to lack of ability or a bad attitude. Maybe a bit of both. He wasn't a loan though, I'm sure he was a permanent signing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who'd have thought a couple of weeks ago that more people from Gran Canaria would be coming here on holiday than going the other way.. Are you seriously unaware of the tourist magnet Kirkcaldy is becoming? Once they revamp Volunteers Green, I reckon they'll need to demolish the multi storey car parks and build two skyscraper hotels to accommodate demand. In a couple of seasons we'll be like Manchester and Liverpool where we're selling package deals to tourists including flight, accommodation and match ticket. Definitely. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As it stands, it feels like it's came out of nowhere, and there's nothing from anything reputable to suggest we've offered terms.

Specky Ginger Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 Peers was definitely the guy who came from Liverpool. According to Willie Gray and McGoon, he'd set up the lion's share of Michael Owen's goals at the Liverpool youth academy and within weeks we'd have forgotten all about Nacho Novo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raith69 Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 It was Mark Peers, thanks guys. Below is from Wikipedia Peers began his footballing career at Liverpool in 2001. He left for Raith Rovers in 2003. Peers got off to a good start at Raith by scoring on his debut[1] but was to make only another 4 appearances before leaving Scotland early in 2004. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hank Scorpio Posted August 3, 2023 Author Share Posted August 3, 2023 Memory is a weird thing eh?

I always thought he was from Liverpool but I was obviously confused between him and peers at the time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is correct, was on loan to us in February 2001 and played 8 games scoring 4 goals before going back south but returned in November and played 15 games and scored only once and was released at the end of the season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
