Educated at the former Hamilton Academy, Brown played for the school in Scottish schools competitions〔Hamilton Advertiser article. 21 May 2009〕〔Evening Times article 'Every picture tells a story:Craig Brown, Part 1.' 15 April 2004〕〔The Herald article – 'The rise and rise of a well honoured manager' 12 July 1999〕 and in youth and junior international teams, before joining Rangers in 1958 from Coltness United. He failed to find a regular first team place, and moved to Dundee on loan in January 1960. Brown was the first signing of Dundee manager Bob Shankly. The move was made permanent in the summer of 1960. Brown always travelled with the Dundee first team squad but as this was before substitutes were commonly used, he didn't make a competitive appearance until November 1961 when captain Bobby Cox was injured. Brown played in nine consecutive league games before becoming injured himself on 31 March in a 3-2 win against bottom placed Stirling Albion. Dundee won the Scottish league title that season and Brown's nine appearances entitled him to a medal. Brown stayed at Dundee for four and a half injury dogged years. He was never a first team regular and only made 16 appearances for the Dark Blues. He signed for Falkirk in 1965 and went on to make 17 appearances at Brockville. He called time on his playing career in 1967 after five operations on his knee. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Craig Brown (footballer, born 1940)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
