Dumbarton FC People and Ephemera

Yet more from Dumbarton FC’s 150th Anniversary Exhibition.
Notable former players from before my time:-
I don’t remember John Rowan. Hughie Gallacher was the star of of the late 1950s Sons side which came close to promotion. He’s still top scorer for DFC. John Hosie was the club’s Secretary for donkeys’ years. Robert Robertson was the chairman who was in place when the Sons regained their place in the top flight of Scottish football in 1972. Johnny Graham was a brilliant midfield maestro and holds the record for most appearances for the club:-
Chairman Robertson features in this caricature of Dumbarton worthies:-
Daily Record record of 1926 Scottish Cup Tie. Dumbarton 1-1 Buckie Thistle:-
The replay involved a marathon midweek journey and was followed by Sons’ biggest ever defeat:-

John,
It’s not one I ever had. Living in Fife with a young family, going to a friendly wasn’t on the cards in 1991.
