A Son of the Rock

According to Big Rab‘s correspondent, Dumbarton is the first football club to win championships at four different levels of Scottish football.

I’ve witnessed three of them.

The club has won six championships in total.

The first was in 1891 (shared with Rangers) but we were sole winners in 1892. These two highest level wins were before even I was born, though. I also missed 1911* (level 2, when promotion wasn’t automatic anyway.)

But I was there in 1972 (level 2,) 1992 (level 3,) and now 2009 (level 4.)

Here are some pictures I took yesterday.

The players thank the fans.

*Edited to read 1911 – I had wrongly written 1912 before. (There’s a post about such football anniversaries coming up.)
