This is widely recognised as the greatest Sons squad in recent memory so i thought i'd take the time to create a post in their honour. Firstly thanks to all the staff who have worked tirelessly to change the club from relegation certainties to play off challengers. When Ian Murray came in most fans were resigned to the idea of relegation now many grumble when we are only drawing at home! Secondly thanks must go to every single player who has pulled on a Sons shirt over this period of time,i thought about how best to do this and decided that a list of honour would be the best idea. So here it is,the complete list of players who have given us some of our best memories in recent history. The Dumbarton FC first division roll of honour:
Thank you to everyone above for the memories and here's hoping that there will be many more to come in the future! If we can keep the current squad together then maybe,just maybe next season a realistic tilt at the playoffs could be in order. The last 6 years have seen a magical turnaround at the club,we have gone from the bottom half of the old 3rd division to being in the top 20 teams in the country. The change in the club is remarkable however unlike teams like Gretna it has been built up slowly,over time without spending ludicrous amounts of money on players. Over the time we have been lucky enough to witness some terrific players,goals and games.games. Stevie Murray's wing wizardry and lob of the keeper from the half way line against Berwick, Denis McLaughlins 35 yarder against East Stirling in front of 359 people on the way to the division 3 title,Derek Carcary scoring 4 in the one game against Elgin,Bryan Prunty doing the same in a 0-6 win at East Fife,the playoff victory live on TV and last seasons great escape - arguably the greatest achievement out of them all. Here's to the next 6 years. At this rate Europe and a run at the SPL title must be approaching!
