Sandy McNaughton
Date of Birth: 01-12-1953
Position: Striker
Joined: 24-07-1979
Appearances: 127
Substitute Appearances: 2
Goals: 58
Nationality: Scotland
Previous Clubs: Queens Park, Clydebank, Clyde, Stenhousemuir
Subsequent Clubs: Ayr United, East Stirlingshire, Stenhousemuir
Debut: 28.07.1979 v Dundee United (Drybrough Cup)
Last Game: 01.09.1982 v Alloa Athletic (SLC)
Sandy began his career with Queens Park in 1972. He gained a Scotland
Amateur Cap in November the following year in a 3-1 defeat by the Netherlands at East End Park.
Following Dunfermline`s promotion on 1979 manager Harry Melrose spent £6000 on Stenhousemuir`s Sandy McNaughton, a player who had made his name at Queens Park but had endured unhappy spells at Clydebank and Clyde before resurrecting his career at Ochilview.
A physical education teacher by profession, Sandy was renowned for his fitness. He made a fairly slow start at East End but as his confidence grew, the goals soon followed. He was the club`s top goalscorer for three successive seasons, a period in which no other player came close to reaching double figures.
In 129 Dunfermline appearances Sandy notched 58 goals. In season 1980/81 he scored half of The Pars tally of 44 goals and earned himself a place in the Scotland Semi-Professional Squad for the Four Nations Tournament in Italy.
Sandy`s relationship with manager Pat Stanton began to deteriorate during 1981/82 and he requested a transfer after being left out of the team. One of Stanton`s last acts as manager before resigning in September 1982 was to accept Ayr`s offer of £16,000 for a player who had scored 58 goals in 129 appearances.
Sandy never recaptured the form he had shown with the Pars netting just eight times in 50 matches for Ayr. Briefly with East Stirlingshire, he finished his senior career at Stenhousemuir in 1986.
He was appointed Principal Teacher of PE at Kincorth Academy in 1987 and started playing Highland League football with Deveronvale, moving on to Cove Rangers in 1988. In 1996, Sandy became joint manager with Inverurie Loco and two years later with Banks O`Dee, before retiring in 2001.
Sandy McNaughton`s tally of 58 goals places him joint 19th (with Ken Mackie) in The Pars All Time List of goalscorers.
