On That Windswept Plain: The First One Hundred Years of East Fife Football Club

'That windswept plain above the town’ was how the local press often referred to Town Hall Park, a sports field situated on high ground above the town of Methil, and it was here that the newly formed East Fife Football Club set up home during the summer of 1903.

On That Windswept Plain tells the story of East Fife’s first 100 years, from their foundation in 1903 through the halcyon years to the end of the 2002/03 season.

Contains 236 pages of text and illustrations.
