Dear Sirs
HI AS YOU
CAN SEE I HAVE BEEN LOOKING AT YOUR WEBSITE AND
ITS GOOD TO SEE WHITEHILL ARE BASHING ON - I
HAVE FILLED IN YOUR QUESTION AIR ON PAST
PLAYERS AND WILL ATTACH IT TO THIS E-MAIL ALONG
WITH A COUPLE OF PICTURES OF THE 1970 -71
SEASON. I HAVE GOOD MEMORIES OF, THE ONLY SEASON
I PLAYED WITH WHITEHILL AFTER PLAYING 6 MONTHS
WITH BONNYRIGG ROSE.
DURING THIS
SEASON WE WON EVERY CUP AND WERE ONLY DEFEATED
ONCE EARLY IN THE SEASON WHICH WAS AN
ACHIEVEMENT AT THAT TIME. I THEN SIGNED FOR
COWDENBEATH DIRECT FROM WHITEHILL AND AT THAT
TIME THERE WERE ONLY THE FIRST AND SECOND
DIVISION AND COWDENBEATH HAD JUST COME DOWN FROM
THE FIRST DIVISION AND ALTHOUGH I ENJOYED
PLAYING FOR COWDENBEATH, I THINK THE SEASON WITH
WHITEHILL WAS THE SEASON I ENJOYED THE MOST,
PROBABLY BECAUSE OF THE SUCCESS.
regards
Alan Kinnell

Welfare were often a passport to the senior
ranks as one of the most successful secondary
juvenile sides in the 60s and 70s. Alan Kinnell duly
moved onto Cowdenbeath.
