MADDISTON F.C.

Hall of Fame:-

This page is dedicated to all the past players and coaches who have turned out and done their bit for Maddiston F.C. - REGARDLESS OF ABILITY!

John Main:

Probably the most worthy person of a mention on this page. A founder member of Maddiston when he started an under 18 team many years ago and for nearly 15 years, he was Maddiston, his contribution and effort towards the running of the club could never be in doubt. He gave many years of service even after his son Barry left the side and single handedly ran the team before handing over to Johnny Marrs at the end of season 2005/06. His effort was never fully appreciated and he was not always popular with everyone but he was well known throughout the league for his efforts and we are sure everyone now appreciates the job he did with Maddiston F.C.

Frank Ross:

Another founding member of Maddiston F.C. team of under 18's. Was a popular figure around the park who was always there to offer encouragement and finally gave up his coaching role after years of trying to turn his son Simon into a decent left back..... A very hard working member of the committee who is still seen sometimes on the touch line watching his son Simon (whilst shaking his head)!

Paul Piretto:

Another founding member who set up the club at under 18 level and his words can still be heard echoing around the welfare park to this day every time we lose a goal "FOR FUCK SAKE". Never one to mince his words although equally keen to dish out prasie when it was deserved. Another hard working servant to the club who is always welcome back to support the team.

Pat Daly:

Another founding member who set up the club at under 18 level who is sadly no longer with us. He was the quiet member of the committee but his effort and commitment to the cause can't be ignored. He is probably still shaking his head at his son Craig's antics on the park!

Cup Final Team:

The Maddiston team before their first ever cup final appearance, the county cup final at Grangemouth Stadium which we lost to a team from Cumbernauld, answers on a postcard if you know the date?????

And after a few beers we soon forgot about the result, who said football is all about winning????

Scooter:

Assistant to Jock Main in the later days, another hard working servant to the club who got little thanks. Also still holds the record for the most number of mobile phones lost and the only club secretary in the league who didn't have a land line number! Brilliant!

Gordon Hunter:

Big Kwai as he is better known to everyone! (Well it seems that way as everywhere we go somebody knows him!!!). Has recently hung up his boots and taken a step back from helping run the team but his efforts both on and off the field over several years are not forgotten.

Michael Leiper:

Tav has played for Maddiston for many years (more than he probably cares to remember) and in many positions although best known for his heroics in goals. Has won more awards than anyone else, must have been sleeping with wee Jock main..... to be fair probably one of the best goalkeepers to grace amateur football. Also was selected as the clubs only representative in the league select (although the game got cancelled) during his last season before his shock retirement to spend more time with the wife and weans!

Craig Daly:

After 200 games, 150 yellow cards, 50 red cards, 30 weans, god knows how many bottles of wine and 1 gammy knee he finally gave it up! He was a class act in his day, perhaps one of Maddistons finest bar room Pele's!!!!! When he could keep the head he was amazing and when he couldn't, well as we said in his dads profile above, always had you shaking your head! Two words sum it up "If only"

Craig Brown:

Like big Tav,wee Broonie also holds records although mainly for the most number of fags smoked during training, a half time interval or while on the bench. An excellent player who made the right back position his own, when he could be bothered to turn up. Represented the club over several seasons and was at his best during Maddistons 3rd place finish in the Premier league during season 2004/05. Has also now retired to spend time with the wife and weans but again will be missed for his excellent sense of humour and shear laid back attitude to everything!

Barry Main:

Son of Jock Main, Barry played several seasons for Maddiston F.C. before retirement due to injury. Barry usually played right back and turned out for many seasons and also feature in the cup winning side who won Maddistons only trophy to date at Grangemouth stadium.

Scott Thomson:

An excellent player for Maddiston who played several seasons in and was more often than not top scorer for the club. Again played a huge part in Maddistons best season in 2004/05 and scored winning goals against all the top sides. Form dipped and injury has helped put paid to his time with Maddiston although the door is always open for a shock return!

Andrew Dougan:

Probably the smallest but most mouthy person ever to play for the club, when he had a drink in him he could cause an argument in an empty room. Played several years for Maddiston and was a good player who always gave his best, always had a smile and was always first to put his name down for a night out! Sadly he has now gone over to the DARK side and retired from playing to take up refereeing???? Oh and what ever you do, if you meet him don't ask him about the only goal he ever scored for Maddiston while playing summer league, he will never stop and every time he tells the story he gets another five yards away from goal when he hits it.....

Alex Rosenberg:

Alex only played one season with Maddiston and was again a popular figure and always had a smile on his face, although that was maybe cause he was thinking about his new bird. Has now disappeared off to the US of A to be with his new love and has not been seen for some time but will hopefully make a return soon.

Craig Paterson:

If it moves it gets kicked, if it does not move it gets kicked, in fact everything just gets kicked.  If not suspended or nursing his chocolate ankle, Craigy can be found terrorising the opposition’s midfield for Maddiston.  If any cops are reading this yes he does have a license for that bike and no he never breaks the speed limit.  Wise cracker, good storyteller but for the best laugh just add beer! Now over in Canada but should he return then the door is always open, may just have to be bit wider than before for him to fit through it mind!

Steve Muir:

Give Steve his due, he has a Citreon Saxo with a small exhaust on it.  Respect.  Not like all those other fannies out there with chimneys for exhausts on a car that can bearly do 100mph.  Midfield mistro, can make the ball stick to his feet and just when you think you have him, he’s past ya.  So annoying.  So is playing sweeper, eh Steve??? Also get very touchy if you forget to tell him the game is cancelled so he can change his shift to turn up,only to find out it's just a training session.....

Mark Rae:

The only man who has more warrants out for him than Osam Bin Ladden, shame it's not football agents who are after him! On his way back after a broken ankle which was sustained while on European duty! Another one who likes a drink as we can tell by looking at him! Now retired (not through his choice!) from playing and filling the role of club sponsor as the landlord of our local pub!

Ross Urquhat:

Monster.

Honey   ___________, Cookie ___________, Loch Ness __________, ___________ Truck - all your garden variety, ten a penny monster related types, but all at Maddiston know there is really only ONE MONSTER.  Tall, hairy and with a gangly walk that Hen Broon would be proud off we give you Ross Urquart.  MONSTER enjoys both the art of fanny tickling with a near perfect and well maintained beard and mostache arrangement and participating in higher educational activities where we are all convinced he is doing a course in housewifery rather than anything constructive.  Give the man his due though he is the first person in a long time to actually take the training without getting a mouthful of abuse and getting told to stick it where the sun don't shine, early days yet though.  And to all reading this that did try and take the training before YES you were sh 1 te at it.  Uses his height to great effect on the field and likes to give the opposing attackers a sporting chance by every now and again giving them the ball to try and score

Steven Baxter:

aka The Water Boy! It was once said that there is a fine line between an engineer and a monkey, and Stevie Baxter is as close to this example as you can get.  When not at work you can find him drifting around Maddiston dragging his knuckles along the ground making grunting noises, spitting, picking his nose and practicing his first touch.  When in his work uniform he is 100% the professional always paying attention to detail and doing more homers than santa does in a year.  He has a nice house, nice car, nice wife, she must like the rougher things in life as she married him and now drinks in The Ranch.  Always at training giving 110%, always there on a Saturday giving 110% and always supporting the team.  You know you have made it and he certainly has, not only has he started a match, he has scored a goal and the Manager has bought him a pint but more important than all of that, he has broke his nose this season already - truely a Maddiston player.

Colin Willaimson:

Not one for putting all his eggs in one basket and not one for hanging around our Coco is going out in a blaze of glory after season 08/09.  (applications for new goal keepers are being accepted).  He is getting a house with his better half, he has managed to plant his seed in her and he proposed.  Next he will be getting a pipe, slippers and a dog.  Trouble was the 3 things he was hoping for were a win on the lottery, his application to become a porn star had been successful and his treatment to gain a full head of hair had been successful.  Still 1 0n 1 with a striker our money is with him and will be a huge loss to the team when he hangs up his boots.See him in action HERE!

Allan Forsyth:

Caca - wee tadger left to play with Carronshore,enough said!

Brian James Mungall:

 He feed some urine about wanting to play for a team that was closer to his mother in laws so he could double up training with taking his lad to see the grand-parents, we all knew he was being a glory hunter, and who would not want to play for Plean in their hey day.  After winning the Matthy cup and some other noddy trophy (no jealousy there, honest)  this walking advert for Mr Sheen came back to his spiritual home to play again.  A mean right winger, with a turn of pace and loudmouth gob that sometimes frightens the wee Spaniard Jose to tears.  His dynanasimn is a welcome return.  Hobbies include cultural learners in teaching his young son what the Japanese eat, wearing any ridiculous designer clothes - you could literally wrap a crap in a bin bag pour tape some tinsel to it and tell him its paul and shark or armani and he would wear it.  Happily married now with a beautiful family but that does not stop the man turning himself into a bendy toy with Tennents lager every time he gets the chance.

Team 2007-2008:

 Pate:

Lazy, crabbit, opinionated, likes a drink at the weekend.  Hobbies include stock car racing and listening to politically incorrect music.  Talents include getting sent off, shouting at players on the other team, shouting at the players on his own team, shouting at his brother and especially shouting at the referee. Now argues that as he is now a mature family man that he has seen the light and stopped shouting at referees, time will tell eh Pate!

Update: Still crabbit, opinionated and likes a drink! - Retired, thank god!

All nominations for additions to the hall of fame will be welcomed!
