Dunfermline Athletic Football Club are a Scottish football team based in Dunfermline, Fife, commonly known as just Dunfermline. They play at East End Park and are nicknamed The Pars.

They are currently managed by Jim McIntyre who was given the job on a permanent basis on Thursday January 3, 2008. He took over from Stephen Kenny in December 2007 originally as caretaker boss. The 2009–10 season is the club's third season in the second tier of Scottish football, after being relegated from the Scottish Premier League in 2007.

History

1950s

Bobby Ancell was offered the manager's post in 1950 but with the Pars making headlines for board room disputes, he declined the offer. With a new board in place two seasons later, Ancell was offered the position again and this time accepted. Improving year on year Ancell delivered promotion back to the top flight in 1955 before leaving to start a decade at Motherwell.

The golden age (1960s)

Jock Stein became manager in 1960 and so began the club's golden decade. The club played regular European football in the UEFA and European Cup Winners Cups throughout the 60s (and also early 70s).

Under Stein Dunfermline won the Scottish Cup in the 1960–61 season. They beat Celtic 2–0 in the final after a replay. In 1962 they reached the Cup-Winners Cup quarter finals, losing 5–3 on aggregate to Újpest Dózsa SC. On they way they beat St Patrick's Athletic and FK Vardar. In the 1962–63 season Dunfermline beat Everton in the Fairs Cup and then played Valencia, losing 4–0 away before winning 6–2 at home. The Pars lost the subsequent play-off. Stein left in 1964 to join Hibernian.

New manager Willie Cunningham would take the club to the Scottish Cup final in the 1964–65 season. They lost the final 3–2 to a Celtic team that was at the beginning of new manager Jock Stein's era. The Pars finished 3rd in the league, one point behind top two Kilmarnock and Hearts. The following year Cunningham took Dunfermline to the Inter Cities Fairs Cup quarter-finals. Alex Ferguson was a player in the Dunfermline squad between 1964 and 1967.

George Farm was manager from 1967 until 1970. He matched Stein by winning the Scottish Cup in 1968 with a 3–1 win in the final against Hearts. Farm then surpassed Stein and took the club to their greatest achievement to date, the semi-final of the European Cup Winners Cup in season 1968–69, losing 2–1 on aggregate to eventual winners Slovan Bratislava (Slovan beat F.C. Barcelona in the final). On the way to the semi-final Dunfermline beat APOEL, Olympiacos and West Bromwich Albion.[1]

1980s

Dunfermline, managed by Pat Stanton started the 1980s in poor form. The core of the team were Pars stalwarts, Dr Hugh Whyte in goal, John Salton, Kenny Thomson and Dr Bobby Robertson in defence and Sandy McNaughton up front. Of this quintet only big John was not an ever-present in the league campaign. The team developed a habit of losing streaks, 2 of five games and 2 of three games and this caused relegation nerves. They hovered in third bottom position for most of the last third of the season, only being saved by the ineptitude of the Stirling Albion side who failed to score in their last thirteen games and by Berwick Rangers who had held up the division for most of the season.

The Athletic made some headway in the 1981–82 season jiggling about in the middle of the pack. Their home form let them down, only achieving three victories against St Johnstone, Queens Park and East Stirling whereas they won eight games on their travels. They were still over-reliant on 13 goal top-scorer Sandy McNaughton (in his last season at East End Park) but Grant Jenkins chipped in with 7. Team new boy, Norrie McCathie, signed in a swap deal from Cowdenbeath, scored 4 in his 19 appearances, who would have guessed he would clock up a club record of 497 league appearances before his death in 1996. Kenny Thomson and Bonar Mercer, both loyal servants, were freed at the end of the season. The team physio, Jimmy Stevenson retired after more than a quarter of a century of service.

The long-suffering Pars fans suffered some more in the 1982–83 season. The team never got going and were in the drop zone almost constantly, especially after the New Year's Day hammering by their Kirkcaldy rivals. A change of manager was inevitable and manager Stanton left to go to Hibernian. New manager, Tom Forsyth tried 29 players during the league campaign but never found a settled formation. Sandy was gone and the lack of goals proved fatal, relegation to the lower Division was inevitable. The only bright spot in the whole season was the 2–1 home victory in February over Hearts. Off the pitch, the death of long-time director Andrew Watson was another low point. He had serve the club faithfully for many years.

A fresh season beckoned with the team confident that they could improve and challenge for promotion. A disappointing start with only three wins by the end of October caused yet another change of manager with the resignation of Tom Forsyth. Surprisingly the reserve team coach with no managerial experience was chosen from a long line of candidates. Jim Leishman had a strong Dunfermline pedigree, as a boy he had watched the 1960s Pars legends in European games and had progressed through the youth ranks to first team football before his playing career was ended by a bad leg break. The team continued to struggle but the fans had faith in the charismatic Jim. He unearthed a gem from Hong Kong Rangers in the shape of John Watson, signing him for £300 and a round of drinks, surely the best piece of business ever, given the number of goals scored and the entertainment value provided. An otherwise uneventful 1983–84 season ended with a brief flourish and a final 9th position in Division 2. Hugh Whyte was the only ever-present and Stephen Morrison was the top league scorer with a meagre 9 goals.

The 1984–85 season opened in dramatic fashion. Six straight wins fired the Pars to the top of the league. Playing flowing football John Watson, Grant Jenkins and Norrie McCathie were scoring for fun. The defence had been strengthened with the arrival of Dave Young at centre half. Everything was going well until October when the team hit a sticky patch which lasted until February. They managed one solitary victory over local rivals Cowdenbeath in November during this period and surrendered top spot to Alloa. The end of the league competition was closely fought but Montrose snatched the championship, with Alloa runners-up and a disappointed Dunfermline third. Hugh Whyte, after fine service since 1976, played his final league game of the season with a clean sheet against Stenhousemuir in March. An able replacement had been sought and Ian Westwater took over the goalkeeping mantle. The team scored 61 goals over the course of the season, John Watson leading the way with 15 but Grant Jenkins with 9, Norrie McCathie and Stevie Morrison with 8 each showed a great improvement on previous years.

1984 also saw the publication of a fine book by Jim Paterson and Douglas Scott called "Black and White Magic" charting the team's performances during the 1960s through newspaper reports from the period. This was followed the next year by John Hunter's "Dunfermline Athletic, a centenary history 1885–1985", this provided a broader history for football fans and Pars supporters in particular.

To mark the Centenary a special game was arranged with Aberdeen as the visitors. Many old players were invited to attend and were warmly welcomed by fans young and old. On the pitch, the players did their bit to add to the occasion, Ian Heddle scored a spectacular goal to seal a 1–0 victory.

The 1985–86 season league campaign opened with the Pars in confident mood. Jim Leishman had assembled a strong pool of players during the previous season and no major signings were deemed necessary. An early defeat in the third week of the season when the Pars surprisingly lost 3–1 at Hampden to Queens Park seemed to galvanise their spirit and they went on a long unbeaten run from September until mid-January. The attack were performing well, putting six past Albion Rovers and four past St Johnstone, East Stirling and Berwick Rangers (twice). Six other games ended with the opposition picking the ball out of the net three times. The fixture list was badly disrupted during the three winter months with Dunfermline only managing to play six games. Three victories were not enough and the Pars surrendered the league leader position to Queen of the South. They dug in and maintained second place during the heavy league programme of eight matches in March and April. Consecutive away defeats in early April to Queen of the South and Meadowbank Thistle shook the fans. Confidence was soon restored with three 4–0 home wins against Albion Rovers, St Johnstone and East Stirling, a 2–0 win at East End Park over Arbroath and then a 4–0 victory at Shielfield Park Berwick which took the Pars back to the top of the league. The last two fixtures were both away, the attack failed to score at Stenhousemuir in a 0–0 draw and the final game was at Stirling Albion. The Pars scored first but ended up losing 3–2. Fortunately, their nearest rivals Queen of the South also suffered in the final run-in, drawing two and losing two. This meant Dunfermline were promoted along with Queen of the South from the Scottish league's 3rd to 2nd tier. The men from Fife would be greatly missed by the club treasurers of the Second Division as the travelling Dunfermline fans often doubled or trebled their normal home attendance. No player was ever-present, Ian Westwater and Dave Young missed only one game each and Norrie McCathie only missed two. On the scoring front, the Pars had a great season, netting 91 times in the league. John Watson was top with 24, Ian Campbell was next with 15 and Grant Jenkins added 14.

1986–87 commenced with the visit of Forfar, the Pars squeezed a 1–0 win with a goal from John Watson and were up and running. Three more wins followed and the newly promoted men were top of the league and full of confidence. Their next visitors were the men from Methil who were yet to win in their start to the season. The form book was completely turned on its head with East Fife racing into a 3–0 half-time lead. Dunfermline scored two in the second half but the visitors added another to triumph 4–2. David Moyes was substituted and this was to be the final appearance in his brief Dunfermline career. Ian Heddle was introduced to the line up in subsequent games and the Pars returned to form, won the next three games and drew the subsequent two. The second of which was against league leaders Airdrieonians. A crowd of more than 5000 was disappointed by a 0–0 draw. Hugh Whyte had to temporarily return between the posts for the next two games to cover for Ian Westwater, keeping a clean sheet in a 1–0 victory over Montrose but losing three in a draw in his final appearance at Forfar. The team were struggling to maintain consistency and their best form but were happy to keep in touch at the top of the league. Early leaders Airdrie were also losing form and were never to recover. Dunfermline had a poor November with wins over Kilmarnock and Montrose balanced by defeats at East Fife (again) and Airdrie and a home 2–2 draw with Queen of the South. Surprisingly, Athletic managed to limp their way to the top of the league and were to stay there until the end of April. The season ended poorly with five defeats in the last eight games with Morton snatching the championship. The Pars fans were still pleased with second place as this meant promotion again and the promise of matches against Scotland's best teams in 1987–88. Norrie McCathie was the only ever-present. John Watson was the top scorer for the third year running with a more modest 13 goals. Ian McCall, in his first season, bagged eight and caught the eye of a number of clubs.

In the 1987–88 season, Dunfermline knocked Rangers who were managed by Graeme Souness out of the Scottish Cup in the 4th round with a 2–0 home victory. Mark Smith and John Watson scored goals early in each half. John Brown was sent off for Rangers.

Athletic opened the new league season with an entertaining 3–3 draw against Hibernian at East End Park. Central defender David Young scored two but didn't score again all season. Two away draws at Paisley and Falkirk followed before Celtic provided the first Old Firm visitors of the season. Jim Leishman had the home fans and team well worked up before the game. The formula worked, Craig Robertson opened the scoring, Andy Webster equalised from the spot for the Hoops before Eric Ferguson provided the winner. Given that Celtic only lost three times in the season, this was a fine achievement. Ian McCall was immediately sold for a club record £200,000 transfer fee to Rangers, his performances having moved up a gear from the previous campaign. The loss was sorely felt in the next match. The Pars travelled to Dens Park and slumped to a 5–0 defeat, their heaviest loss of the whole season. From then on points were hard to come by, the Pars were competitive, and at times, entertaining but suffered too many narrow defeats and draws when victories should have been won. Highlights were hard to find, three wins over bottom club Morton and two over the Paisley Buddies weren't much to crow over. A narrow 1–0 win over Hibernian and a fighting 2–2 draw at Ibrox in December gave a brief respite before eight consecutive league defeats. Surprisingly the bad run ended with a 6–1 victory over Dundee at East End Park to revenge the heavy loss earlier in the season. Overall the Pars suffered from too many team changes and never had a settled side. They even managed to use five goalkeepers, Ian Westwater managed 28 appearances but Tom Carson, Nicky Walker, Dave McKellar and Hans Segers took their turn between the posts. Nobody managed to be ever present, Craig Robertson, who had arrived in midfield at the start of the season, was nearest only missing two games. This helped him to top scorer position with 13 goals. Needless to say, relegation back to the First Division followed although it was never going to be easy because league re-construction meant that three teams were going down. Morton and Falkirk also faced the drop. Fans favourites David Young and Bobby Forrest left the club and Bobby Robertson retired having made a record 360 league appearances. Amongst the new faces, Ross Jack showed promise up front with 4 goals in what had been a disappointing season for the fans.

1990s

The 1995–96 season featured a triumphant Scottish First Division championship title and automatic promotion to the Scottish Premier Division. However it was also the season when the club's then-captain and all-time great player Norrie McCathie died suddenly at the age of 34 of carbon monoxide poisoning. The team went on to remain in the Scottish Premier League until 1999, when they were briefly relegated to the Scottish First Division for one season. East End Park was redeveloped and the home fans' end of the ground was renamed the Norrie McCathie stand.

Scottish Premier League (1998–2007)

Dunfermline's seven year stay in the Scottish Premier League proved to be patchy, but the club did endure some fine seasons. The 2002–03 season saw them finish 5th, their highest position yet with Stephen Crawford scoring 19 goals. The following season, Dunfermline did even better finishing in fourth place as well as reaching the final of the Scottish Cup[2], which also saw them qualify for the UEFA Cup.

It was at this point after a fine season for the provincial club that saw manager, Jimmy Calderwood and assistant Jimmy Nicholl left the club to turn the fortunes of rivals, Aberdeen who themselves had finished in a paltry 11th place finish.[3] This proved to be a downfall in the fortunes of the club. In 2004–2005 under the newly appointed David Hay[4] the team ended up in the lower half of the SPL which led to Hay being sacked.[5] Jim Leishman who was promoted to the manager's job for a second spell as manager and during the last 3 games of the season, he guided the team to safety and avoided relegation.[6]

However, a year later brought another equally disappointing season during 2005–06 including a 8–1 home defeat to Celtic in February 2006, Dunfermline's worst defeat since the formation of the SPL in 1998.[7] This was in a season when the Pars also reached the final of the League Cup, losing 3–0 to Celtic at Hampden Park.[8] The 2006–07 season proved to be a bad start and Leishman returned to his job as Director of Football with Stephen Kenny being appointed as the new manager in October 2006.[9] However he could not turn round the fortunes of the club nor repeat Calderwood's success in the league as neither could the previous two managers.

Dunfermline were relegated from the Scottish Premier League on the 12 May 2007 after losing 2–1 against Inverness Caledonian Thistle. Jim McIntyre had put the Pars one nil up after 37 minutes, but two late goals from Caley Thistle sealed Dunfermline's relegation to the First Division.[10] Dunfermline lost their 3rd major final in four years (losing the 2007 Scottish Cup Final to Celtic May 27). Since Celtic had already qualified for Europe by winning the SPL, Dunfermline were able to compete in the 2007–08 UEFA Cup, thus managing the notable feat of being relegated and qualifying for Europe in the same season.

First Division (2007–present)

After relegation to the First Division, Dunfermline lost two of their main players in goalkeeper Dorus de Vries who signed for Welsh side Swansea City and midfielder Gary Mason who opted to stay in the SPL with St. Mirren. After losing the opening game of the season 2–1 to Hamilton Academical, the Pars played against a Manchester United XI in Scott Thomson's testimonial match, losing 4–0. Their first UEFA Cup match since defeat against FH Hafnarfjörður in 2004 came against Swedish Superettan team BK Häcken at home where they drew one all.[11][12] The return leg was played in Gothenburg two weeks later. Dunfermline lost the game 1–0, losing 2–1 on aggregate.[13][14]

Dunfermline continued to play badly and it took four games for them to record their first win. The team, who at the start of the season were favourites to go straight back up found themselves in 9th position after only 7 games, recording only one win. One positive aspect of the new season was the team managing to get to the final of the Challenge Cup beating Clyde,[15] Airdrie[16] and Ayr United[17] on the way. On 25 November The Pars were defeated 3–2 by St. Johnstone at Dens Park.[18] The date of the final was changed from 4 November to the 25th because it would have required the postponement of First Division games involving the pair.[19]

After one year in charge, Stephen Kenny's Dunfermline side languished near the bottom of the First Division Table. On 4 December 2007, Kenny was sacked as Dunfermline Athletic manager. Striker Jim McIntyre took charge as Caretaker manager of the club.[20] Mcintyre's first match in charge was a home clash against Clyde on 8 December 2007. The Pars managed to scrape a one all draw. After going six games undefeated, McIntyre was appointed as Dunfermline manager on a full time basis on the 3 January 2008, signing a two-and-a-half year deal.[21] In late March 2008, local newspaper Dunfermline Press announced that Dunfermline Athletic were going into administration. The newspaper claimed they had a "credible" source but this source could not be substantiated. Dunfermline Athletic later made a statement saying that the claims made by the newspaper were false and that they were "disappointed" by the article.[22] After languishing near the bottom of the table for the first half of the season, the Fife side managed to improve their results after Jim McIntyre was brought in, finishing 5th in the league after 36 games.

The following season, despite a positive start, Dunfermline failed to challenge for promotion again – ending the campaign 14 points adrift of champions St Johnstone. However, a late rally did see them finish third on 51 points from their 36 games.

Origins of nickname

According to Black and White Magic, a 1984 book about the club by Jim Paterson and Douglas Scott, there are numerous theories as to the origin of the club's nickname, the Pars. The authors wrote:

Most tend to confirm the more common belief that the name arose from the team's parallel striped shirts, their drinking habits or their style of play. The latter were both described as "paralytic". The earliest theory claims that in the early days when the Football Club was closely connected with the Cricket Club, the footballers were renowned for their performances at the bar and so were called the "Paralytics".

However in the early 1900s it is known that Athletic's nickname was the "Dumps" – shortened from Dunfermline – and this is said to have been coined by English sailors visiting East End Park when their ship docked at Rosyth. After World War I they were known as the Pars and some believe the parallel black and white stripes to be the reason.

Another school of thought involves English workers who came to work at the armaments depot at Crombie and at Rosyth Dockyard; they kept their association with their local team by forming the Plymouth Argyle (Rosyth) Supporters Club and it is said that the Dunfermline nickname comes from the banners in evidence around the ground.

Although almost certainly coincidental, there is also a curious resemblance to Dùn Phàrlain, which is the Gaelic name for Dunfermline.

Crest

DAFC crest

The current Dunfermline Athletic club badge was designed in 1957 by Colin Dymock, an art teacher at Dunfermline High School.

The "DAFC" represents the initials of the club, with the tower depicting the Malcolm Canmore Tower. The tower was adopted by the town of Dunfermline to be used for the Burgh Arms and old way seals. Malcolm Canmore was King of Scotland from 1057 to 1093, and made his residence in Dunfermline within what is now Pittencrieff Park. The park is represented by the blue and black area behind the tower.

The green area at the bottom of the crest is meant to represent the club's stadium, East End Park.

Colours

Dunfermline's original colours
2007 Cup final and 2008 UEFA cup strip

For much of Dunfermline's history their home colours have been black and white striped shirts, with black shorts and black socks, though recently they have worn white shorts and white socks. From the clubs formation in 1885 until 1901, the club's home colours were a plain maroon shirt with either navy or white shorts and either maroon, white or grey socks.[23] The club then went through a period between 1901 and 1909 when their kits were blue.[23] The club first wore their now well known black and white striped shirts in 1909 and have worn these colours every year apart from the 1971–72 season, were they wore all white, the 2004–05 season, were they wore a white shirt with a single black stripe running down the left side of the shirt and during the 2007–08 season, were they wore an all white shirt with black shorts and white socks.[23] For the 2008–09 season, the Pars reverted to their well know black and white stripes resembling the kit they wore for the 1997–98 and 1998–99 seasons.

Conversely, Dunfermline's change or away colours have been very inconsistent, there is no set in stone standard and the club changes the away colours often, but most commonly it has been a shade of red (since the 2000s). The 2008–09 away kit was an all golden yellow kit, with white stripes running down the arms and the current away is an all red number with black lines down the sides.

Songs

Like other football clubs, Dunfermline has a number of songs and anthems. This was changed for Stephen Kenny's first official match in charge against Aberdeen to Teenage Kicks by The Undertones, the song which Derry City run out to, but has since returned to "Into The Valley" by local band "The Skids". Since the 1950s the crowd have left the ground after the game to the tune of "The Bluebell Polka" by Jimmy Shand and his band.

Rivalries

Dunfermline Athletic have traditional rivalries with both local side Raith Rovers and neighbours over the River Forth, Falkirk. In the 2010-11 First Division season, they will also have a derby with near-neighbours Cowdenbeath.
