Biography

After winning countless trophies in Junior football with Tayport, including the much coveted Scottish Junior Cup, chairman John Christianson appointed Dave Baikie in the summer of 1997 after the departure of Tommy Campbell. Baikie immediately changed the clubs fortunes around, winning promotion in his first season at the club to finally lift us out of the bottom tier after long period of mediocrity.

Baikie went on to establish the club in the Scottish Second Division before increasing wage budget demands led too a disagreement and his resignation was tendered in September of 2000. He went on to manage East Fife and Cowdenbeath, as well as returning to Tayport before eventually becoming chairman at The Canniepart.
