Poll is a bit of a mess now.
Scott Thompson for me but Murray was a close second. Jim Thorburn and Cat Drummond were excellent as well so my dad said. |
Ah, memories! Charlie was my first Raith hero. (And, no, I'm not Tam's dad, though that Wall cheque will come in handy, son). I remember him blocking everything one day versus Hearts. Unfortunately, that was in the warm-up and he let a trundler through his legs in the match. 0-3, I think. Jim Thorburn was a worthy successor - in the best possible sense.
I remember Bobby Reid at Montrose, too, but it's going to be between McDermott and Scott Thomson, if only for THAT save... Oh, all right then - it's Charlie. Us auld yins get to dither, eh, Tam? |

Think it has to be Murray McD for me, just a natural, and very few mistakes, or howlers as they are known today

| Difficult poll this one - voted for Murray as I was around for all of his Rovers career; he was easily worth 15 points a season (2 points for a win!) with his incredible concentration and consistency. Scott T a close second , whilst Bobby Reid was the keeper when I first started watching the Rovers in 1967. In those days the Flyers had a (Roy) Reid in goal - to a youngster like me I thought that the same guy was playing football on Saturday afternnons and hockey at night! I think that it was Alec Gray who went in goal at Parkhead when Bobby Reid was sent off - for "dunting" Bobby Lennox on the head with the ball?? |

Not a difficult one for me.
Murray by a mile.
followed far behind by;
Scott Thomson - Calum Frame - Hamish (swing on the bar) McAlpine - Gordon Arthur - Ronnie McLafferty - Bobby Geddes - Brian (hero!) Potter - Raul - Van De Camp (he'd have figured higher if he'd been better at crosses!) |

Not 100% on this, but think one of our keepers scored at Rugby Park from a massive clearance. I'm sure someone will correct me if i'm wrong  .
Has to be Murray for me as he never let the side down. |
Hamish scored away to Kilmarnock in the 87/88 season for a 4-3 win.
MAGIC. |

I remember that goal as one of our players ran to kiss his boot (cant remember who though) |

John Gordon the referee from Newport was the man. Used to take us for BB training as his son was in the company. A really nice guy BUT---never spoke to him for weeks thereafter!! John just let things run their course and it was "as you were" a wee while later.
Gawd! the memories.

Bobby Reid for Scotland!
I seem to have memories of him playing on the wing in a New Years day match. Can anyone confirm?
