Homes, Hooves and Half Time Heroes
Former Chairman Alex Penman has released a brand new book, which is now on sale in the Club Shop.
Self-made housebuilding entrepreneur Alex Penman made his name building perhaps 4% of the houses in the hometown of Kirkcaldy, Scotland. Later, he bought his local team, Raith Rovers, which had struggled in the lower reaches of the Scottish Football League for most of its 111-year history. Under his ownership, Rovers won the Scottish League Cup with a famous victory over Celtic by penalties. That win took Raith into European competition for the first time and Jimmy Nicholl’s team ade global sporting headlines by securing a famous half time lead against the mighty Bayern Munich. This is the behind the scenes story of how a son of a coal miner from Cardenden helped make Scottish football history.
