Craig Robertson

Craig Robertson is best remembered for taking over the captaincy after Norrie McCathie`s tragic death in 1996, leading the team to the First Division title.
Born in Dunfermline on 22nd April 1963, Craig began his career in 1979, as a youth, with Hearts. In 1980 he started his senior career with Raith Rovers and, in a seven year stint managed around 200 appearances. In 1987, he was snapped up by Dunfermline and quickly established himself as a powerful midfielder.
Jim Leishman paid £25,000 to Raith Rovers to bolster his first Premier League team at Dunfermline and Craig didn`t disappoint. He scored 13 goals in 1987/88; despite Dunfermline`s relegation he was the highest scoring midfielder in Scotland.
In December 1988, Aberdeen paid £150,000 for him. He never fully established himself at Pittodrie and Pars fans were delighted to welcome him back in 1991. He enjoyed seven more years at East End Park, taking over as
skipper in 1996, a position he held until his retirement in the summer of 1998.
Craig`s playing career ended in 1998 after 321 appearances, of which 280 were in league matches - the 9th highest in the club`s history. He returned to the club in a coaching role in 2003 and briefly as Assistant Manager to Jim Leishman in 2005.
