This page will be used to add any history we can muster up about the club.

For instance, did you know that Postal once played illustrious opposition with names like 'SAVINGS BANK' and 'JACK SCOTT VICS'????  Neither did I.  If anyone out there has any more history or recognises any of the names below, feel free to let us know by e'mailing us at cpatterson@miswaco.com.  Enjoy.

CLUB HONOURS:

1982-83: Edmond Trophy
1984-85: White Cup
1988-89: Good Conduct Cup
2000-01: Division 5 Champions
2004-05: Barclay Cook Trophy (Div 2 East League Cup)

2005-06: Barclay Cook Trophy (Div 2 East League Cup)


1980-81 SQUAD:

Alan Robertson, Fullback Alan Rettie - Defender William Hay - Utility Man
Doug Kemp - William Cameron - Albert Patterson - Midfielder
William Fiddes - John Fowlie - Legend Murray Robertson
Roderick Strachan Alex Badenoch - John Walker -
William Lynch Graeme Smith  
Stanley Moir - Treasurer Alex Badenoch - Sectry Ronald Dalgarno - Manager

Judging by the record books, the manager at this time was as meticulous as Woge, keeping records on every game and every training session!!  The team played in Division 4.

1985-86  SQUAD:

J Adams C Allen P Allen
G Burnett D Clark R Cruickshank
T Forbes w Lumsden L McKinnon
K Munro (Legend # 2) K Pirie A Rettie
D Ross P Slessor J Fowlie
M McBeath K Wood W Hay

Not much by way of records on this team other than a list of fines for bookings and the fact that John Fowlie never missed a single training session.  This stat is tempered though, by the fact that he didn't sell a single 'disco' ticket... even Kenny Munro managed 6!!!!

 

This photograph of a Postal team from 1979 has been sent in.  Names supplied by John are as follows:

Back Row (from left to right) - Roddy Strachan, Alan Rettie, Willie Hay, Willie Cameron, Dougie Kemp, ???? ????, Graham Nelson

Bottom Row - Steve Fyfe, Steve Scott, Roy Duncan, Willie Fiddes, Graham Mackie.

If anyone can shed any light on the misssing names it would be most appreciated.

Postal Legend, Willy Hay has kindly sent in the picture below.  Think this is possible from the same year as the one above but some new faces.  If anyone knows the names feel free to send them in.  Thanks.

John has found another old photo.  This was taken at the Players Player of the year award in 1983.  The awards were presented to Frank Johnston in the Cocket Hat by club president at the time Mr Alex McKenzie.  See John in the bottom left corner.
