Banff & Buchan MSP Stewart Stevenson has written to congratulate Charlie Duncan, manager of Fraserburgh FC for almost 25 years, ahead of his 1000th game in charge this Saturday. The Fraserburgh manager will clock up this remarkable achievement in the coming Scottish Cup replay against Bonnyrigg Rose Athletic.
Additionally, North East SNP MSP Maureen Watt has lodged a motion in the Scottish Parliament congratulating Charlie Duncan and Fraserburgh FC on their long and successful partnership.
Commenting, Mr Stevenson said:
“For any manager to be in charge of a football club for 1000 games and almost 25 years is a remarkable achievement, but at this level of the game it is truly exceptional.
“Charlie Duncan has created a terrific record during his time in charge of the club, something that is testament to his loyalty and abilities as a manager. Given the immense history of the Scottish Cup, there could scarcely be a more appropriate competition for this milestone to take place in.”
Ms Watt added:
“It is entirely right that we take the time to applaud an achievement that we are unlikely to see repeated at any time in the near future. I congratulate Charlie Duncan on his record to date and am sure there is still more to come from his time as manager of Fraserburgh FC.”
