History
It is common belief among older supporters that Willie McCallum was the club's best ever player. He was a mainstay and major asset to the club in the 70s, he was often asked for his autograph which is rare for players at junior level.
The club has found it difficult to emulate the success of the 70s team. However a new Management team was installed in January 2006, when the team was all but relegated. A 3 year plan was installed to get the team promoted in the first full season (2007–08) which was achieved, consolidate in season 2 (2008–09) which also was achieved and be a challenging force in season 3. Wardlaw and Campbell are currently assembling squad for the season ahead and hopefully they can succeed in 2012/13.
The current Manager Alan Wardlaw supported the club as a kid, then played in the eighties, nineties and actually played in season (2008–09) at the ripe age of 44 when the keeper got injured. He was player coach and then assistant manager to Andy Cunningham. Left to join Larkhall in 2003 and returned as Manager in 2006.
Alan Wardlaw is now assisted by Billy Campbell, ex Dundee Utd player Jimmy Kerr and Raymond Donachie.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Postmodernism is, almost by definition, a transitional cusp of social, cultural, economic and ideological history when modernism’s high-minded principles and preoccupations have ceased to function, but before they have been replaced with a totally new system of values. It represents a moment of suspension before the batteries are recharged for the new millennium, an acknowledgment that preceding the future is a strange and hybrid interregnum that might be called the last gasp of the past.”
—Gilbert Adair, British author, critic. Sunday Times: Books (London, April 21, 1991)
““And now this is the way in which the history of your former life has reached my ears!” As he said this he held out in his hand the fatal letter.”
—Anthony Trollope (1815–1882)
“When the history of guilt is written, parents who refuse their children money will be right up there in the Top Ten.”
—Erma Brombeck (20th century)
