Doug Baillie
Date of Birth: 27-01-1937
Position: Centre Half
Joined: 16-01-1969
Appearances: 26
Substitute Appearances: 5
Goals: 0
Nationality: Scottish
Previous Clubs: Airdrieonians, Swindon, Rangers, Third Lanark, Falkirk
Subsequent Clubs:
Born: Douglas Water
First game: 16.01.1969 v St Johnstone (SL1)
Last game: 14.01.1970 v RSC Anderlecht ((ICFC)
Big experienced centre half who joined from Falkirk in January 1969 as a replacement for Roy Barry. Played 31 times for club with last appearance coming against Anderlecht in 69/70 seasons ICFC.
It was appropriate that the man to take over the captaincy when Roy Barry was transferred to Coventry City, should be his successor at centre half, Doug Baillie.
A strong, powerful figure, Douglas Rae Daw Collier Baillie arrived at Dunfermline with a wealth of experience having already captained Airdrie, Third Lanark and Falkirk. He had also captained Rangers Reserves.
Doug Baillie started his senior career with Airdrie in 1953 and stayed with the Broomfield Club until 1960, apart from a very brief spell with Swindon Town in 1956. He was big and commanding centre half and his performances with Airdrie persuaded Rangers to sign him in 1960. He remained, mainly as a reserve, until 1964, when he moved across Glasgow to join Third Lanark. The demise of the Hi-Hi`s led to another move and in 1965 he joined Falkirk.
At Brockville, he was the key figure in The Bairns defence and in a four year spell he played well over 100 games. In 1969, George Farm was looking for cover for Roy Barry and signed Doug for The Pars.
With Roy`s move to Coventry, Doug became the regular centre half and played in nearly every game in season 1969/70 until that fateful night when Dunfermline lost to Anderlecht, on aggregate, in Europe. Farm blamed the defence and Doug never played again, hanging up his boots at the end of the season.
After retiring as a player, Baillie became a football journalist, working for The Sunday Post.
