Jim Buick

Biography

Jim, who initially appeared for the club under the name Munro up until autumn of 1886, made his debut for the club in the 1883-84 season, before starting to become a regular in the team in the second half of the following campaign.

He went on to cement himself as a regular starter for the following 8 seasons, featuring in our record 36-0 win in the Scottish Cup against Bon Accord and playing in our first seasons in the newly established Northern League in the 1890s. He also won the Forfarshire Cup twice during his time at Gayfield.
