ErsatzThistle Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Here's two questions I've been wondering the answer to: Which player (past or present) holds the record for the most number of promotions in the top four divisions in Scotland ? and Which player (past or present) holds the record for the most number of relegations in the top four divisions in Scotland ? Anyone know the answer to this ? Interested to know ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debian Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 That's three questions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ormond Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 David Bingham is a guess or any of that Gretna squad. A few of those must have been up and down the leagues throughout their careers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ErsatzThistle Posted November 8, 2014 Author Share Posted November 8, 2014 Back on topic, Martin Hardie and James Grady were two I was thinking could have the promotions record. Any ideas ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slide tackle Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Maybe a dunfermline player from the past, theyre always up and down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark frae Crieff Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Stevie Tosh wi Gretna?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AberdeenAngus Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Hearts went up/down 6 times did they not in the late 70s early 80s? Maybe someone played through all 3 promotions and 3 relegations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donaldo87 Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Kenny Deuchar has 5 promotions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamntg Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Billy Dodds has at least two relegations, maybe more? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jagtag Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 There was a period about 15 years ago where the Jags never seemed to stay in a division for more than a season going up and down between SPL and Div 2. Not sure how many players would have stayed through all the promotions and relegations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney Rubble Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 There was a period about 15 years ago where the Jags never seemed to stay in a division for more than a season going up and down between SPL and Div 2. Not sure how many players would have stayed through all the promotions and relegations. Kenny Arthur was with Thistle throughout that period (97-07).

the Sunnylaw Jag Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Kenny Arthur was with Thistle throughout that period (97-07). Think he was promoted with Rochdale also and relegated with Airdrie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dandydunn Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 I just googled the question,this thread appeared. Didn't really help much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbcmfc Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Kenny Arthur and James Grady seem good shouts. I don't think Dougie Imrie is a contender, but it's that kind of guy I'm thinking. Either that or a division 2/3 player that's bounced about, but never gone full time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLAS Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Kevin James might be a good shout. Played for a lot of 'up and down' teams. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_James_%28Scottish_footballer%29 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shotts56 Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 David Bingham is a guess or any of that Gretna squad. A few of those must have been up and down the leagues throughout their careers. In consecutive seasons (or very close to consecutive seasons), David Graham won the Third Division with Gretna, Second Division with Gretna, First Division with Gretna, First Division with Accies and then the First Division with Dunfermline.

stirlish Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 I think it could be further back. in the late 70s early 80s there were a few team who yo-yo'ed. killie, dundee, thistle, dunfermline, motherwell Surely somebody moved between these clubs?

brant grebner Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 David Bingham's got 4 First divisions (Pars, Livi, ICT, Gretna) plus the Second and Third with Gretna. David Graham's got 3 First divisions (Pars, Accies, Gretna), plus Second Division with Gretna and RU with Stranraer and a Third Division with Stranraer. Looks like David Graham, but it would be a of a lot easier to work out if oor leagues didnae get rebranded every few years with ever-twattier nomenclature.

Either that or a division 2/3 player that's bounced about, but never gone full time. It won't be Imrie he signed for Clyde from Lanark United & played with Inverness & Accies. Not even sure if he has had any promotions or relegations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not even sure if he has had any promotions or relegations? Might have got relegated with Morton? Aye, don't think he's close, but his sort of level that bounces between premiership and championship.

Not even sure if he has had any promotions or relegations? He wasn't in either of the Accies teams which got promoted from the First Division, we signed him afterwards on both occasions. He was in the Accies team which got relegated from the SPL, and also in Morton's team which got relegated from the Championship. Not sure about his timing with Inverness though.

Bingham also won the First division with St Johnstone when he was a 19 year old kid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
