    Liam Fontaine

    Just watching the build up for the Ross County/Motherwell game on Sky and noticed that Liam wasn't listed as playing or on the subs bench.

    So I checked Wiki to see if he was still at the club and learned two things

    He played 3 games on loan at Killie in 2004 (nearly ten yrs before he signed for us)

    His full name is Liam Vaughan Henry Fontaine - surely that has to be the poshest name of anyone who played for us lol

    I remember being at his debut v Alloa and he really struggled. He was like Bambi on ice. He done not bad after that.

    I was surprised he got such a muted reception on his return to ER last season.

    He must be injured, as he’s their captain

    Aye, I thought the same. When you compare it to the reception the likes of Bartley got. Thought Fontaine was a big part of the rebuilding of the club.

    Pretty sure his debut was a league cup tie vs Dumbarton.

    That Alloa game is a bad memory. I was pretty worried for us after that.

    Would Ross County, St Johnstone, Kilmarnock or Hamilton etc really notice any difference if socially distanced crowds are allowed from mid September? It'll feel just like any other season. Probably a plus for them.

    I think he met his missus when he was at Killie, hence why he moved to us and stayed up here at County.

    I've known for a while that he played for Kilmarnock but I do remember thinking at the time that I couldn't remember him playing for them.

    I’ve resolved to be as understanding and kind to other Scottish football clubs as possible this season. In that spirit, I would like to applaud the fans of all the clubs mentioned above and I hope that their crowds swell when normal service resumes.

    Was that his first game back at ER? Thought he would have returned earlier, maybe other thought the same hence the muted reception

    Got chatting to him and Grant Holt one evening when the players were on a Christmas night out. Seemed like a genuinely nice guy and ended up hang about talking to us after all the other players had moved on to the next bar.
