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:
“No one is ahead of his time, it is only that the particular variety of creating his time is the one that his contemporaries who are also creating their own time refuse to accept.... For a very long time everybody refuses and then almost without a pause almost everybody accepts. In the history of the refused in the arts and literature the rapidity of the change is always startling.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
“The history of philosophy is to a great extent that of a certain clash of human temperaments.”
—William James (1842–1910)
“The second day of July 1776, will be the most memorable epoch in the history of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated, as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forever more”
—John Adams (1735–1826)
