Broken Algorithms Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 Just now, CallumPar said: For some reason I thought Lewis Allan scored a goal for us. Having done my research now though, I realise this was wrong. He’s definitely in the same bracket as Jamie Mole, Gavin Reilly and Derek Lyle. Never realised Allan played for the Pars. We had him with us the season where we won league 1 (technically). He was booed onto the park one game by some fans as he got subbed on and Kyle Benedictus had to come out in the post match begging fans not to do stuff like that as he was pretty much in tears after the game. I don't think he played with us after that and it's one of the worst I've ever felt for a player. No matter what someone's like as a footballer they don't deserve that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He played for us when we finished 7th in league 1. Potter brought him in to try and save our season, alongside some Pars legends like Jim Paterson, Kyle McAusland, David Hopkirk & Paul George. Potter also brought Barrowman back to the club at that time, but I’ve got time for Barrowman (despite that second spell being underwhelming), so not going to include him in Potter’s disastrous signings. He also released Gozie Ugwu, who was our top scorer at the time, almost as soon as he became manager. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He played for John Potters Pars side, you'll have Dunfermline fans who won't know he played for us. Grant was bad, but Potters tenure is the worst since the 80s, Stinky. I remember reading about that, I don't remember Allan being that bad, he was in a hopeless side but he wasn't the worst. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PB1994 Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 GK - Dean Brill RB - Kevin McCann CB - Jamie McCart CB - Roman Golobart LB - Charlie Taylor RM - Jay Henderson CM -Scott Allan CM - David Davis LM - Logan Chalmers ST - Billy Mckay ST - Miles Storey That's probably the best loan 11 we could get. I didn't include Christie as he never really left. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Webster is the correct answer. I liked some of the others, but only Webster captained a cup winning team while somehow guiding Garry Kenneth to being capped 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think he was on the bench once v Hibs at Easter Road but not sure if he ever came on. We also had a guy over from the States that a fan helped facilitate but I don't know if he ever played or even made the bench. Think he went on to have a reasonable MLS career? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kei Kamara - he even played in the Premier League for Norwich! Leishman decided against signing him, was possibly due to finances though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Specky Ginger Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 I'm torn between Ryan Hardie and Kevin Smith. Smith's goals in 2008/09 went a long way to helping us clinch the Seaside League title that season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomGuy. Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 Mehdi Abeid, and its not even close, IMO. Theres players who had more of an impact, short term and longer term, but when youve got a foreign 20yo appearing and just strolling every appearance with step overs galore, youre falling in love. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Dis)honourable mentions also for William Akio and Isma Goncalves up front. I struggled to recall Murtagh beyond the vague recollection of Dalziel signing him back in the day. He didn't exactly make it as a footballer but fair fucks to the guy he's done well for himself. Edited August 18, 2023 by renton 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't a great player but clearly a very bright guy who's made a good career in football: https://www.liverpoolfc.com/team/mens/staff/dr-conall-murtagh Also, the irony of a former Raith Rovers player going on to lead peer-reviewed scientific papers on reducing injury risk in training is not lost on me: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
