Your name doesn't have to be Bill to become a life member of Glenrothes Cricket Club, but it certainly helps!! The club currently has five life members and by coincidence three of them are called Bill.

Firstly Bill Philp, who was one of the original members of the Club. Formerly with Largo Cricket Club, Bill was a stalwart of the club in the sixties and the early seventies. He held most of the offices in the club at one time or another, and on the field was a medium paced bowler of substantial guile who routed many strong batting line-ups in his time!

Second is Bill Pearson, who joined the club in the early seventies. Formerly with Blairgowrie Cricket Club, Bill retired from the game in the early eighties. His contribution didn't stop there however, and his coaching prowess had a significant influence in the success of out colts in the mid-eighties.

The last Bill but by no means least is Bill Ramsay. This Bill arrived at the club from the defunct Rothes Cricket Club in Leslie (via a year with Dunnikier). For over 35 years Bill has been a jack of all trades for the club. As well as being involved on the park he has also been heavily involved off the park, even to this day!! Many an opposition team will rue the day when they have under-estimated his medium paced offerings around the wicket from the pavilion end at Riverside Park. His ability with the bat has also staved off many a threatened batting collapse. Since he stopped playing we have been deprived of the familiar sight of Bill, as treasurer, arriving at Riverside Park, complete with "poly bag" and clipboard in the vain hope that someone might actually pay their subscription!!

Mention of the name Ramsay would not be complete if we overlooked Bill's late wife Maureen who never played a single match but managed to "score" more runs for Glenrothes than anyone is ever likely to do. For many many years Maureen was a familiar sight home and away with brief case and travelling rug (and occasionally sun cream). Her book was always immaculate and anyone who queried their score soon knew not to do it again!!!
Sadly Maureen passed away in November 2006, she will be sorely missed by all at Glenrothes Cricket Club, Saturdays will never be the same.

The final 2 life members were both inducted during the 50th Anniversary season in 2007. Ian Cadden and Davie Christie, Ian is a former top order batsman for the club and indeed remains one of the top batsman in the clubs history. Davie Christie, ex-freuchie star and village cup winner has a close association with Glenrothes and has played a vital part especially in recent years with assistance on the Town Park square.
