Fraserburgh FC Official Matchday Programme

Today we welcome the players, management, officials and supporters of Nairn County to Bellslea Park for our Press & Journal Highland League tie.

Our last home game against champions Brora Rangers ended in a disappointing 2-1 defeat but we ran them closer towards the end but overall there is no argument with the result. We fared better on Wednesday night away to Clach where we recorded a 2-1 victory. I didn’t see the game but while I believe we rode our luck slightly I do also our league this season. Circumstances dictated the think we deserve some luck as we haven’t had a lot of result on Wednesday as it was only 2-1 when the Nairn that so far this season. But that’s football and you have to goalkeeper was sent off. Against a team like Brora you take the good with the bad. Congratulations to Ryan need to keep eleven men on the pitch as they are Christie who made his 250th appearance for the club on clinical when given the opportunity. Make no mistake,

Wednesday. Well done Boomer and sorry I missed it. Nairn County are a very good side and have a very

experienced manager who will looking for a reaction The fact we had to travel to on a Wednesday from his players this afternoon. night is not good but we have to accept that. We cannot expect to complete an 18 team league season without It is a sad week for the club with the death of former scheduled midweek games. I have been fortunate enough player and director Kenny Roger. There is a piece to have been in a position to see first-hand the problems elsewhere in the programme about Kenny but when I in getting a league programme sorted and it is nowhere heard the sad news on Tuesday night I was completely near as easy as some people seem to think. The loss of stunned. Kenny was somebody I had immense respect revenue to Clach on Wednesday would have been for and always enjoyed his company. He always made substantial and the fact that some of our supporters who me laugh and his death is a real shock. He lived his life would normally have been at the game couldn’t do so like he played his football; hard, honest and above all because of the distance to travel and getting time off fair. their work. We were four players down to the same reason but that is how it will have to be. On behalf of everyone at the club we pass on our condolences to Alison, Vicky and Craig. Today we take on a Nairn side that will be hurting from the heavy loss on Wednesday night but that can happen Come awa the Broch from time to time although it has been happening a lot in Finlay

Fraserburgh FC Official Matchday Programme

Since your last programme notes you have picked up two wins away to Keith and Clach whilst suffering two home defeats to Buckie Thistle and Brora Rangers. How have you viewed the performances and how happy in general are you with the start to the season?

To be honest I have been disappointed in our home form as that is normally where we are strong. But on the other hand 3 wins and a draw away from home is very good. It is consistency which we need to find as some games we have played very well and some we have been very poor. If we had won 2 out of our 3 home matches then we would be sitting in a very comfortable position but there is still a long way to go yet. It is work in progress as I am still learning this side of things but I am Nairn will be smarting from their defeat to Brora a winner and I will do whatever it takes to make sure we Rangers in midweek albeit they lost their goalkeeper are successful. shortly after the break. Does that make today's match

any tougher? Are you worried that you have failed to pick up any points from your home matches so far and that goals It's not nice to play teams after they have had a bad seem hard to come by? result as more often than not they come out fighting. Look at Brora last time after they were beaten by Cove. I wouldn't say goals are hard to come by as there hasn't They came up and were professional against us and been a game where we have failed to score. I feel that showed why they are the best team in the league. Nairn we need to tighten things up a bit and defend better as have some excellent players especially in the forward a team. Just now teams are getting at our back line too line with Gethins and Duncanson. So again if we are easy so that is something which I will have to change. going to get anything then we will have to be at our Gizzy and Willie have both scored a few already and best. But we have something to prove and want to get others have popped up with important goals so I know our first home win under our belts so we will be up for we have the ability to score against anyone. this game.

You have brought in Marc Lawrence on loan from I would like to say a couple of words on some people we Peterhead until January. How impressed have you have lost this week. Kenny Roger was a great man and been with him so far and what can he bring to the football daft whether it be Fraserburgh or . He squad? has done a lot for this club over the years and we are in

debt to him for his contributions. He was always a great I threw in straight in at the deep end and to be fair he supporter of the club and has given me some vital advice has performed really well. He is a big strong lad for his from time to time. Not least to my Grandfather who was age but also comfortable on the ball. He still has a lot to also a big supporter of me and the Broch who sadly learn about the game but that will come with passed last weekend. No doubt they will both be experience. I am happy we were able to get him in and cheering us on today. must thank Jim McInally and Peterhead FC for allowing us to take him on loan. All the best, Mark.

Kenny Roger 1947 – 2015

Kenny Roger is up there with the best of players who turned out in the Black & White of the Broch. In excess of 500 appearances from the mid 60’s to September 1987 he was a stalwart of the Broch side and was a fearless competitor. Spells at Peterhead and Deveronvale were sandwiched in between spells at the Bellslea but he always came back to the team he loved best.

He was at his peak in the 1970’s and was the backbone of a great side who many argue didn’t win the things they should have. He was in the team when I started watching the Broch and his tough tackling made him a favourite with the supporters. He epitomised the player that era looked for with his never say die attitude and every supporter likes nothing better than a player who is giving his all for their team. That was Kenny.

He was extremely fit all through his career which helped him to play until he was 40. His last game was a 1-0 victory here at Bellslea against Keith. The date was 12th September, 29 years ago today.

The following Saturday we played Lossiemouth away in the Scottish Qualifying Cup and Kenny was replaced at centre half by the John Duthie (Butcher). John went on to retain his place in the side. It is sad that both of these fine players are no longer with us.

Kenny returned to the club as a committee member and subsequently: a Director when the Broch went to a Limited Company.

When the Broch won the league title at Allan Park in

2002 I was standing with Kenny at the final whistle where we enjoyed a huge celebratory hug. I remember him clearly saying to me “pit ma doon ye fat b**tard, ye’ve broken ma ribs” That’s what I loved about Kenny, always straight to the point but with a huge smile on his face. That moment will live with me forever, two guys caught up in the fact that the club which meant so much to them had won the thing they had dreamed of.

I was lucky to have known Kenny both on and off the field, at football and at work and will miss seeing him here at the Bellslea. He was a passionate Scot, a friend to many and was very proud of his family. He has left a huge hole in a lot of lives but will be fondly remembered.

RIP Kenny Roger, a true Broch Legend
