Biography

Easson was signed in the summer of 1958 after his release by Dundee and his first season at Gayfield was absolutely sensational - with 53 goals in 49 competitive games - a record which will most likely never be beaten. His incredible scoring record helped the club to promotion to the top division, and the following year he notched a further 18 goals before being signed up by Raith Rovers at the end of the 1959-60 season.

After a year at Starks Park, he spent the first half of the 1961-62 campaign with Greenock Morton being returning to Gayfield in January 1962. He spent another two years as our main forward and continued scoring reguarly up until February 1964 when he suffered a double leg break in a Division Two match with Cowdenbeath. Unfortunately despite several attempts at a playing comeback, he had to retire due to injury.
