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

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.

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.

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.
