ALAN FERGUSON

Alan Ferguson
Alan Ferguson has been manager of Letham Amateurs for the past ten years. In that time in conjunction with Bob Deuchar he resurrected the club, won three divisional league titles. Three runners up position in the top division in the last four seasons. Won eight cup finals including two seasons when the team won three cups out of 14 contested. The club and Fergie have had many happy and memorable occasions and it is only right and fitting that we record our appreciation for all his hard work and commitment. Alan will now spend his Saturday’s following Glasgow Rangers. It is also appropriate to announce that John Innes and Steve Roy who also have served the club over the past ten years are hanging up their boots and taking over the managerial duties.

KEN DRUMMOND(INTERVIEW IN THE TELE)

LETHAM LADS WHO HAVE TURNED SENIOR

During a chinwag with KEN DRUMMOND, el supremo of all things regarding Perth’s Letham FC, my colleague JAMES MASSON and Ken started counting the players who went senior after a spell at Letham.

They came up with Jake Findlay (Aston Villa, Swindon), Billy Bennett (Dunfermline, Forfar), Bill McManus, Pat Joyce, Billy Beatson, Sandy McRorie, Derek Brown, Ross Jenkins (St Johnstone), Grant Jenkins (Dunfermline, St Johnstone), Kenny Marshall, Ally Campbell (Dundee United), John Binnie (Hibs, Brechin), Iain Nicolson (Montrose), Derek Rylance (Arbroath) and Stan Lewry (Shrewsbury).

Ken reckons many more went senior and perhaps BwB readers can recall any others who graced top level after a spell with Letham.

In recalling the Jenkins brothers, Ken also added, "Their mum was also a great fund-raiser for the club."

Letham FC are still going strong.

They are presently putting out 17 teams, they organise a Soccer School and, in conjunction with Perth and Kinross Leisure, hold coaching for primary one and two pupils.
