Last year Trust members exclusively voted for your inaugural entrants into the then newly created Hall Of Fame. This proved very successful with the initial eleven polling the most votes as follows:-
Peter Davidson - an integral part of the '79 team
Tommy Graham - the winged wonder of the '90s
Warren Hawke - scored a hatful in the mid 90s and left the club for £100k
Grant McNicoll - Spent 10 good seasons at the club before winning the title
Jimmy Morton - another member of the great '79 side
Davie Moyes - and another!
Martin Neil - had over 10 years with the club
Darren Smith - arguably our most gifted midfielder in the last two decades Dave Smith - player/manager of the 79 team. Needs no introduction.
Eric Tait - over 400 appearances for Berwick in the 1980s
Gary Wood - one of our most prolific strikers. Great defender too!
A similar process has taken place this year, with you, the members, again voting to add three more players to those above. Three clear leaders emerged and we are happy to formally announce their induction into our Hall of Fame. This years main men are...

Gary O'Connor
Fans favourite Gary has been around Shielfield since 1992 and infact only left last season in what can be described as unfortunate circumstances. Gary's testimonial is due to take place later this month against none other than Celtic at Shielfield. Gary once replaced Scotland number 1 and Britain's most expensive goalie Craig Gordon whilst at Cowdenbeath! |

Sammy Reid
Inside forward, remember them, Sammy scored THAT goal against Rangers, a goal listed at number 38 in the Times newspaper's 50 most important goals. A stat which almost seems out of place amongst his other 7 goals scored for the club in only 21 appearances. Sammy left for Dumbarton not long after. |

Ian Diack
Ian was sold part way through last season and although leaving when he did he still finished the season as our top scorer with 10. He also went on to net another 4 for his new club Brechin. |
