| What
Year Did You Start Supporting United |
| My folks
tell me it was about 1981, was at Dens to win the league in
83, season ticket holder since. |
| Why
United |
| Dad was a Tim, but wouldn't thankfully
take me to that area of Scotland incase I caught something.
Uncle was a mad Rovers fan so couldn't support them. Went to
see United at Starks Park as a kid and that was that, helped
that cousin was also Utd fan I suppose. |
| First
United Match |
| Can’t recall for sure. I know I
was at the Dens game to win the league, and the old man took
me to a lot of games that year. First season ticket was 83-84
in the old stand! |
| Favourite
All-Time Player |
| Eamon Bannon. I had No.7 on all
my strips at Primary School! |
| Favourite
Current Player |
| Would be Robson, but he is ginger.
So, someone who's about the same height as me, the wee lad wilkie... |
| When
did you first hear about the Glenrothes Arabs and how? |
| My dad
new the guy who ran it during the 80's when they were kids,
so he knew about the club from the start really, he thinks we
went on the bus in the very early 80s to a few games. |
| Most
Memorable Goal |
| Dailly/Maxwell/Brewster 1994 - isn't
every Arabs? |

against Hearts, December 1986, or John Clark's header at the
Nou Camp. |

since 1983/84 - played football for an under 18 team that year.
Still got a United Teddy from 82-83, Premier League Champions. |
