Dunbar United Football Club is a Scottish Junior football club from the town of Dunbar, East Lothian. The club operates on a semi-professional basis. Dunbar United's home strip (uniform) is black and white stripes. ==History== Formed in 1925, they presently compete in the East Region. They play their home matches at New Countess Park, to which they moved in 2001. New Countess Park is within the Hallhill Healthy Living Centre〔1〕 and has a shared pavilion for Dunbar United and the local rugby union team, Dunbar RFC. There is room for around 2,500 spectators at New Countess Park. The greatest achievement of Dunbar United was winning the Scottish Junior Cup in 1961. In more recent times though they have not been one of the stronger sides in the East Region, although they still have a healthier support than many of the other teams at the same level as them. In May 2008, United appointed former Tranent Juniors boss Davie Lees as the new manager. Lees is a local man and was captain of the successful West Barns Star side of the late 1980s and early 1990s (then managed by former United President Ian Robertson), where he played alongside current United striker and club captain Geoff Jones. Lees will be assisted by Stuart Brown. Due to the excesses of previous seasons, Lees and Brown have found themselves working on a tight budget. This has led them to focus more on local talent than in previous years. Indeed, in recent games no fewer than 9 former Dunbar United Colts players have been named on Lees' teamsheet. This emphasis on local youngsters has helped to balance the books whilst also generating greater interest within the community. 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「Dunbar United F.C.」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
