The Dumfriesshire club lifted the Scottish Division 3 title in the 1924/25 season.
Nithsdale Wanderers won the Scottish Division 3 title in the 1924-1925 season and to commemorate the 100th anniversary, a celebration night took place in the George Bain Lounge, Sanquhar on Saturday to mark the occasion.
The commemoration night was chaired by Stewart Park with guests John Watson, Ian Burgoyne and Graeme McLatchie with Andy Chung providing the musical entertainment along with Euan Bone and Stevie Johnstone. The club’s achievement was quite remarkable and you have to wonder how, in 1924/25, did a team from Sanquhar get to the likes of Montrose back then. Players came and went to Portsmouth, Rangers, Celtic, Third Lanark and Queen of the South to name a few. Even the late Bill Shankly had a connection to the club – his brother John and Alex played with the ‘Dale in 1922-23 and were transferred to Portsmouth.
