Blether: Come on then, Grant, share your story of being part of successful Downfield side

Some months ago, former Lochee United Junior FC favourite Jimmy Gowans was put forward as a player who has played more junior games than anyone else locally.

On social media, Grant Clark reckoned he could run Jimmy close.

A well-known goalkeeper, he offered: “I think I could be in with a shout.

“I started at 18 and played for Dundee Violet.

“I also played for a good few other teams and turned out in my last game for Violet, aged 50.

“In fact, the Scottish Junior FA thought the club secretary had made a mistake with my age when he tried to register me.”

Grant was a mainstay in the very successful Downfield side on the 1990s/2000s.
