Dunfermline Athletic FC History
|
Dunfermline Athletic F.C. is a
Scottish football team currently playing in the Scottish Premier
League. They are currently being managed by former Celtic
manager Davie Hay.
Also known as DAFC, or the DA by local fans, and are nicknamed
the Pars. Dunfermline were once managed by Jock Stein of Celtic
and Scotland fame, and thanks to a good season in 2003/2004 they
were back in Europe for the first time in 35 years when they
were involved in the 2004/2005 UEFA Cup. This was to turn out in
disappointment however as they lost to Icelandic team FH
Hafnarfjörður in the qualifing round. Dunfermline ran into
financial difficulty in 2003 and narrowly avoided going into
administration.
In 2003 Dunfermline became the first European team to install a
plastic artificial pitch at their East End Park stadium. The
pitch is part of an experiment by UEFA to try and improve
playing surfaces. |
