Jackie Williamson was referred to as a one-man team because he played just about every position available. But he is most remembered as the man whom Jock Stein could rely on, and who played his part in Dunfermline`s 1961 Scottish Cup triumph.
Jackie was signed by Raith Rovers from Stoneyburn in 1952 and enjoyed seven years at Stark`s Park.
Signed by manager Andy Dickson from Raith Rovers in March 1959 for £1,500, Jackie moved to Dunfermline where he established himself at left back making 112 appearances for the Pars.
Signed to strengthen a weak defence, Jackie played initially at left-back, but when centre-half Jimmy Stevenson broke his leg against Hibernian in December 1960, Jackie slotted into the vacancy and went on to make the position his own.
During the Cup Final against Celtic, Jackie picked up an injury which led to him being helped off just before half time. Surprising everyone by re-appearing after the interval, Jackie continued until 12 minutes before the final whistle, when he collapsed in agony. Stretchered off, Jackie amazingly re-appeared with just 4 minutes remaining to play out the remainder of the game on the wing. Jackie`s determination and courage typified the never-say-die spirit of the Dunfermline team of 1961.
The injury incurred in the Final kept Williamson out of the replay. Still troubled by the Cup Final injury, Jackie decided to retire from the game at the end of season 1962/1963, and was rewarded by the club with a joint testimonial game (with Willie Cunningham) against Newcastle on 9th December 1963.
Jackie played in 7 of the 8 1961 cup games, missing only the replay against Celtic.
