Arfield will wear the No.37 after Falkirk brought it out of retirement so he could continue paying tribute to his late pal
He's been wearing his friend’s number proudly on his back for years. And Scott Arfield is now returning home to Falkirk with memories of late pal Craig Gowans lodged firmly in his heart.
Falkirk chiefs had retired the number in the wake of Craig’s passing. But in an exclusive interview with Record Sport, Arfield revealed how he sought out the permission from Gowan’s father John before deciding to continue on with his poignant tribute back where it all began. “Craig is always in my thoughts. When I tell people that story, it's hard hitting, it's real. It was a tragic moment. But I just want to honour his memory the best way I can for Craig’s mum, dad and his family.”
“I was young in my football career when the club was relegated, but I was young in an immature sense as well. The implications of going down didn't hit me until a few years after.
