    looking for some help and ideas please

    My Father in law played for Raith Rovers between 1976 and 1985. I am trying to collate together programmes for all the games he played in as a present for his 60th, but can't find records for games he actually played in. His name is Thomas "Toe" Houston. Many thanks in advance folks

    I worked with a guy years ago called John Litster. I'm pretty sure he went on to be the club historian at Raith, he certainly had an encyclopaedic knowledge of the club.

    Maybe try contacting the club directly, speaking to a historian if they have one, John if it is him?

    Thank you. Have emailed the club. Their website still shows the manager as ray mckinnon so not sure when they might get back to me!!

    He was voted into the Raith hall of fame (assuming this is the same guy) so there should be a fair amount of info about him available:

    John produced CD's of Player Registrations and an extract for TT is as follows
