CRAIG McCRACKEN THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES

GOOD LUCK BIG MAN!

Players come and players go, Beechwood Park is no different, nobody is bigger than the club, but over the years players have added to the history of Talbot and this week we say goodbye to a legend who thrilled the Talbot faithful and earned grudging acknowledgement from our bitterest rivals.

Craig McCracken’s name is set in stone here at “God’s Little Acre”  but not just for being remembered for his goal that toppled Ayr United out the Scottish Cup, or his header that won the Scottish Cup for the twelfth time but for the fact he was a players player, and a gentleman on and off the park.

In his eight years with Talbot he played 207 times, scored 39 goals and never once received a red card. Along with Neil McPherson the two of them were regarded as the best central pairing ever to wear the black and gold.

He has now struck out on a new venture stepping up a grade in the Lowland League where we hope he makes his mark with his new club Linlithgow Rose and enjoys a prosperous time in the East Region.

On behalf of everybody connected to Talbot we wish you all the best. You were one of a kind, and that number five shirt will be hard to fill. “GOOD LUCK”
