Dave Brewster

The Board of Cowdenbeath FC were very greatly saddened to learn of the death of Dave Brewster who passed away at lunchtime today. Dave was previously a Cowdenbeath FC director and owner of the club along with his brother Alex. He was very well-known as a stalwart of Stewart's Melville rugby club where he played for many years with distinction. The Brewster family of course nowadays own the ground at Central Park plus run the stock car operations. They kindly gifted the ownership of the football club to Donald Findlay on behalf of the community not so long ago. Most of us saw Dave and spoke with him as usual just last Saturday as we left the ground and he was stationed at the turnstiles for the start of the Stock Cars. Over the past decade or so we had many dealings with Dave. There were challenges to be tackled but over that time a mutual respect and increasingly positive relationship developed. It was a great shock to us all to hear the news today. Our sincere condolences go out to Dave's brother Alex and nephew Scott as well as to all his family and friends.
