I have to keep reminding myself if it hadn't been for Brewster I would probably never have become a supporter of ICT...
I had lived in Dunfermline for twenty odd years before I relocated to Sneck.... I was never really a dyed in the wool pars man, but as I lived within an easy 10 minute walk from East End Park, I was a fairly frequent attender... When Brewster signed for Dunfermline in 2002 he brought a breath of fresh air to that club and thanks to a great partnership with Stevie Crawford helped the pars to a 5th top finish in the league, season 2002/3... His role with the pars at that time was much more about creating chances for the likes of Crawford, and his style of play then reminded me very much of the late, great Jim Baxter...
It was the appointment of Brew as player/manager of ICT that got me off my butt here, and go and watch Caley.... (I had no idea that could become addictive)... He certainly didn't disappoint and set a great example to his new team-mates....
The rest, as they say is history.... The manner of Brews departure from here was far from ideal, but CC didn't do too badly when he was talked into taking the job on
The manner of Brew's re-appointment was not exactly ideal either, thanks mainly to the conduct of the board in this matter... Many who attended the supporters' trust meeting have been left with a bitter taste in the mouth...
So what now..?
Not much else for it other than to try and forgive and forget - get behind Brewster and his team, and hope he's got what it takes to get the players to play again and to somehow lift the club from one of its less than glorious periods in its relatively short history....
I think he'll succeed.... :003:
