Cowdenbeath Football Club has awarded life membership to two of its former directors.
Neil Fentie and John Cameron were honoured during a Scottish Cup match at Central Park, where club chairman Donald Findlay hosted a boardroom dinner to formally recognise their contributions to the club.
Mr Findlay said: "There could be no more fitting recipients of this honour than Neil and John – they truly always went the extra mile for Cowdenbeath FC and fully lived up to our town’s motto – ‘Stent nae Stent’.
"We thank them for all they have done for our club on behalf of all the supporters and staff of Cowdenbeath FC."
Mr Fentie joined the board in September 2010 with a focus on attracting investment.
He personally invested in the club, enabling long-needed upgrades to Central Park’s floodlights.
As managing director of Subsea Pressure Controls Ltd, Mr Fentie also secured long-term sponsorship for the club.
Subsea Pressure Controls sponsored Cowdenbeath’s shirts from 2011 to 2019 and continue as club sponsor until 2025.
Mr Findlay said the support from Mr Fentie and Subsea had been unprecedented and said Mr Fentie has witnessed all the ups and downs that the club experienced during that time.
Mr Cameron, who stepped down as operations director at the end of last season, was responsible for stadium operations, match-day arrangements, and the club’s Blue Brazil lottery.
Although he has retired from his official role, he continues to help the club in various areas.
A lifelong supporter of Cowdenbeath, Mr Cameron started the original junior supporters club in the 1960s and organised fans’ travel to games more than 55 years ago.
He spent nearly 40 years working for BT and is a devoted member of the Tartan Army, having travelled thousands of miles to support Scotland.
Mr Cameron joined the Cowdenbeath board in 2010 and also served as office manager for several years.
