Bucks is Back

With the final blast of the referee’s whistle at Central Park for season 2020/21, Manager Gary Bollan’s thoughts immediately turned to season 2021/22. Gary has already started recruiting for the new campaign and we are absolutely delighted to announce the return of a true Cowden legend to Central Park. A pre-contract agreement has been fully concluded now with Liam Buchanan and he will be a Cowdenbeath player once again when his current contract with Alloa Athletic expires shortly.

Liam, of course, began his senior career with the Blue Brazil and it was Central Park where he started on his Scottish football goalscoring odyssey. Bucks scored 54 goals in 133 league games for Cowden in the period 2002-07 and, in his 19 year senior career, has consistently been one of Scottish football’s most prolific marksmen. His current tally is 186 League goals and 227 when Cup matches are included. Liam was one of the stars of Mixu Paatelainen’s fondly remembered Championship winning side in 2006. He then went on to notch 23 goals for us the following season in the 2nd Division before joining Partick Thistle. Liam has also enjoyed League title successes with Dunfermline and Livingston and played in the Premier League.

Thus we offer the very warmest welcome home to Liam – back home in a Blue Brazil jersey once more.
