We’re delighted to announce the signing of 18-year-old left-back Leon Watson on loan from Heart of Midlothian until the end of the season.

Leon, also known as Leo, joined the Tynecastle side from Bonnyrigg Rose at Under 11 level, progressing through the ranks before spending the first half of this season on loan at Stirling Albion in League Two. Leo has been capped for Scotland at Under 19 (2 caps), Under 17 (3 caps) and Under 16 level (3 caps), most recently featuring for the Under 19s in their November double header against Armenia and Croatia.

Welcome to Bayview Leo!

Dave Marshall’s funeral is to be held at Kirkcaldy Crematorium on Friday 21st January 2022 at 12.45pm.

For those who are unable to attend the Crematorium, there will be an opportunity to pay their last respects when the cortège leaves Locality Hub Bayview Stadium at 12.05pm.

We expect this to be busy and it is therefore recommended that those who wish to attend, arrive and park early at the stadium.

Thank you in advance

We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of our Vice-Chairman Dave Marshall earlier today.

After retiring from a career in the Royal Navy, and working as a Heating Engineer in civilian life, Dave spent almost 10 years on the ground staff at Bayview before taking on the same job at King George V Park, maintaining a pitch widely regarded as one of the best in Junior and Amateur football.

Dave joined the Board of Directors in 2003 and, except for a short sabbatical, has been a member ever since. Dave has also served as Vice-Chairman of East Fife Girls and Women’s Football Club, Secretary of East Fife Supporters’ Club and the Club’s Ambassador for Show Racism the Red Card.

As a life-long East Fife supporter, Dave was a massive presence around Bayview and will be sorely missed by all who knew him.

Our thoughts are with Dave’s daughter Maureen, son David, and their families at this time.

A full obituary will be published in the next edition of The Bayview.
