Montrose legends joined the club’s Hall of Fame
Montrose legends Gordon Wallace, Charlie Guthrie and Garry Wood were recently inducted into the club’s Hall of Fame.
The trio were honoured at an event organised by the MFC Supporters Club to mark their own 80th anniversary.


Tributes were paid to the three greats who graced the Links Park pitch in decades past.
Wallace was signed as a teenager in 1962 by manager Norman Christie, and as an inside forward enjoyed five seasons scoring an impressive 86 goals in 159 games.
In his time, he played alongside other Montrose legends such as Phil Grieve, Bill Ogilvie, Ronnie Cross, Frank Sandeman, Jimmy Kemp, Ally Riddle and Bob Livingstone.
Wallace go on to win the League Cup as a player and Challenge Cup as a manager, both with Dundee, as well as being named SFWA Footballer of the Year in 1968 while with Raith Rovers.
Guthrie played for six seasons at Links Park from 1971 to 77, before helping the club with the next generation of talent by becoming youth team coach.
He was the complete outside right winger, creating chances with crosses for others to score.
Guthrie made 155 appearances and scored 19 goals during his time with the club.
He was a true gentleman who gave everything for the team, and the Guthrie spirit lives on as his granddaughter Neve currently plays for Montrose Women.
Wood played as a centre-forward for Montrose for five years from 2007 and during two spells went on to score 40 goals in 167 appearances.
None were more important, than his last as he unleashed a screamer from 35 years to beat Brora Rangers 3-2 in the 2015 Pyramid Play-Off final.
Back in the present day Montrose lost 3-1 away to League One leaders Inverness Caledonian Thistle on Saturday.
A Taylor Sutherland penalty four minutes after the break cancelled out Billy McKay’s first half opener.
However, late goals from Alfie Bavidge and Jordan Alonge secured the points for Inverness.
Montrose are at home this Saturday as they host Alloa Athletic.
The next day sees Montrose Women return to action as they welcome Hamilton Accies in the first post-split fixture.
