 The most random...
Topic Originator: Connor560  
Date:   Sun 3 May 10:17

Was having a chat with a friend about the most random player you can think of, so I thought id open a thread on the most random Pars player you can think of that makes you think `oh I forgot he played for us`

I`m going to go relatively simple to get us going with Paul George

C'mon Ye Pars!

Not sure if it fits the criteria or not, but the whole Youssef Rossi saga was fairly random.
I believe he is still to this day the only player from a Scottish club to receive a worldwide ban.

Bertrand Kerchanke.

Cameroon-born Ketchanke joined Dunfermline on a two-month deal after being released by Rennes.

A France U/21 internationalist, the defender failed to make an impression at East End Park and left at the end of his short-term contract without a first-team appearance.

He had subsequent spells with Scarborough in England’s fifth tier and Institute in Northern Ireland, where he claimed he was forced to leave after being threatened by ‘men with baseball bats’, as well as stints in Corsica, Belgium and Luxembourg.

He won his only international cap for Mauritania in a World Cup qualifier against Zimbabwe in 2003.

Back in 1998, defender David Linighan came to us after a pretty impressive career down south with Ipswich and Blackpool. He played just one game for the Pars and was loaned out to Mansfield, who later signed him permanently.

Does anyone remember what went wrong for him at EEP?

According to the Pars` Heritage Trust Linighan played two games for the club but it gives no further details of his time at the Pars. Around that time (1998 when Bert Paton was manager) we signed a few players from English clubs. Jamie Squires and Richard Huxford are two I remember.

I remember getting Hugh Taylor’s Scottish Football Annual one year for Christmas and it featured a couple of photos of a very young Stewart Kennedy looking a bit bemused after conceded a goal (or goals) at Shawfield. I had imagined he was a regular player but I think that may have been his only appearance.

We have had some random goalkeepers over the years, who have filled in in a crisis such as Dave Westwood and Jim McQueen. There are occasionally seasons when the regular starter gets injured and we have to rely on short term loans for a while. I think the Carson/Segers/McKellar era was one such when Westie got crocked. Nicky Walker is now chief executive of Walker’s shortbread, I think.

Then there are those who are given a game in a meaningless fixture at the end of the season, youth players who get an outing in an early season League Cup game before we are able to complete our squad, and the “big” loan signings (Edinho, N’diaye) who raise your hopes until you realise they are past it. Davie Robb might be another in this camp.

There are a couple of frustrating categories – those who looked terrific playing for rival teams, but never quite hit it off at the Pars – Junior Mendes, David Moss, David Nicholls – more recently Ian Wilson, and those who promise so much briefly, but ultimately never delivered, perhaps wingers who were soon sussed (Horsfield, Bingo Simpson) or through injury (particularly when treatment wasn’t so sophisticated). Whatever happened to James Leishman?

I’ll throw out a couple of really random names:
Scott McNicol, who had Oban connections. I think he scored against Celtic. I got a couple of tickets for some of his family to go to a game (his folks were over from Australia) but he never got on the pitch that day…

Finally –“Trialist” – in particular one Jim Dunlop who played 3 games in 1984 – he looked to have a good touch, but allegedly needed to lose a bit of weight, and was soon deemed surplus to requirements.

Yes - Jake Hyde was a very odd transfer.

I think Dundee were subject to a transfer embargo but exploited a loop-hole to get Hyde to sign for Lochee Utd (with no intention of playing) so that he could play for the Dees as a trialist.

He scored against the Pars and Jim McIntyre signed him for the last few games of the season - I think he was on the pitch at Cappielow when we won the Division.

His name appeared on my LinkedIn feed a couple of years ago when Yeovil won something.

Willie Leishman is another.

I remember catching up with him at Celtic Park many years ago when I was having a crafty fag in the concourse. (It had recently been banned at the stadium)

Felt a tap on my shoulder and froze when I saw a policeman.

“Do you know who I am?” He said.

“No” I answered

Took off his hat and showed a shock of red hair.

“Leishman’s the name “ he said.

I had to think hard. “Relation to Jim?”

He laughed and said no.
I then remembered him from the very early 80’s.
Didn’t last a great time but I did remember the red hair.

Davie Robb

A fine player, and a great career, but he played a couple (his last of his career) of games for us, after coming back from America. I think 1980 or so, our years of struggle.

Even at that age, I could see he was done, and so did he. But a fantastic career nonetheless.

Oh, Hamish McAlpine.

Definitely played twice Eck that was my memory.

Opening day mauling at Celtic Park then turned over by Livvy in the league cup the following week and that was the end of him.

Really bizzare season looking back, Dick & Bert tried and trusted approach of getting in guys from Scotland and getting a tune out of them went out the window and we flooded the team with randoms from England who, on the most part, were no where near the level required.

Lee Butler was decent and Richard Huxford wasn't the worst footballer but besides that...

Taribo West anyone? Oh wait ...... 🤔😜


McKellar is pub quiz puzzler - which two clubs did he play for in successive seasons in Scottish Cup wins over Rangers ?

Pretty easy though.

Even easier - which former Scotland and Dunfermline player is managing director of the family biscuit manufacturing firm ?

André Karnebeek

Signed when injured but was going to be great. Calderwood kept playing him too early for Celtic/Rangers games (or so it seemed) and he`d have another set back. Don`t think he even made double figures.

Yeah Andre Karnebeek was one who I had high hopes for, arrived at what should have been the peak of his career, a legend at FC Twente, having just won the cup with them. Arrived injured and never quite managed to get fit. We had a massive squad in those days, I think at one point there was about 55 players, wage bill must have been astronomical

Jack De Gier, Jimmy Calderwood got him and after some pre season game time looked pretty average. I am sure he then started against Motherwell in a Premier League game and netted twice before being substituted. He got a standing ovation for his efforts.

Billy Abercrombie. Is he the most red carded player to play for the Pars?



Not your average Sunday League player.

Started with a bang, went on a long run of about 9 games without a goal then got one in away game before another double in home win against st johnstone and was sold back to Netherlands that week.

Great thread! Gozie Ugwu ... remembered for a penalty miss against Forfar but he actually scored an impressive seven goals in 14 games for us. I always thought Sorel Chemin deserved more game time as he showed real potential at the time.

For fans of a certain vintage, how about Charlie Brine, Dave Edmonds, Billy Mitchell, Gordon Pate, Willie Tempany ... and George Thomson, who played two games in goal in season 1973-1974.

And sticking totally random things, one of his games was a 2-4 defeat against Motherwell in a televised match where Dunfermline played with blue tights under their shorts. :o(

Kris Mampaey was a random signing, appeared in goals towards the end of Calderwoods first season.

Can probably put a half decent team out;

GK Mampaey

RB Ketchanke
CB Drizic
CB Linighan
LB Karnebeek

RM Panopoulous
CM Huxford
CM Wanyama
LM Horstead

ST Edinho
ST de Gier

Subs; Lemajic, Maradona Jr, Barnet, Chemin, Royal Navy PT guy.

Struggled to pick out a RB from the list so stuck the youngster out there.

Who’d be the manager? Tidser? Or Lanza John - he would have them win the treble!

Huxford usually played RB I think. Who is Ketchanke? There`s no one of that name in the DAFC Heritage Trust archive of Pars` players.

Sergio Duarte

The main thing I remember about him was when the 1998 World Cup draw was made.

Football World Cup?
Scotland v Brazil?
One Brazilian playing in Scotland?

Thanks, parsfan.

Bertrand Ketchanke per wikipedia but there`s a 4-year gap in his career history between 2000 and 2004 which would include his time at the Pars. The fact he didn`t make an appearance for us probably explains why he isn`t included in the Heritage Trust archive.

Gordon Pate was my PE teacher at Dunfermline High School around 1980. Met him at a Scottish Schools semi final in Linlithgow (about 15 years ago)and he told me he was still involved in the Fife Youth football scene. Always a gentleman.
