Crossgates Primrose J.F.C. are a Scottish football club based in Crossgates, near Dunfermline, Fife. Members of the Scottish Junior Football Association, they currently play in the East Region, Central Division. Their home ground is Humbug Park, its unusual name deriving from a disused pit of the former Cuttlehill Colliery on which site the ground is located.[1]
Crossgates' record attendance was 7,600 for a Scottish Junior Cup 6th round tie in 1952–53 against Auchinleck Talbot.[2]
The club's best-known former players are Scotland legend Jim Baxter [3] and his second cousin George Kinnell.
