The INCREDIBLE Rise and Collapse of Gretna FC

- This was supposed to be a dream, when 3rd division Gretna Football Club made it all the way to the Scottish Cup final. A club from a little town of 3000 people, standing up to the MIGHT of Celtic and Rangers, and all of this, despite being a team from the Scottish 3rd division...can you imagine?
A club that joined Scotland football pyramid in 2002 from scratch, and made it all the way to the final in 2006, and qualify to UEFA for 2007.
Through the investments and the financial muscles of Brooks Mileson, Gretna reached unimaginable heights, and through the goals of Kenny Deuchar, or shall I say, Doctor Kenny Deuchar.
Kenny Deuchar was a practicing doctor, while he was playing for Gretna, and it was his goals that fired Gretna all the way through the divisions. With 63 goals in 93 appearances, Doctor Deuchar’s story deserves its own video someday.
Inevitably, they made it all the way to the Scottish Premiership, but this is where Gretna's nightmares began.
A season that promised soooo much to the Gretna Football Club, and its population of 3000 people, suddenly turned into a nightmare.
The rise and fall of Gretna is an interesting story, maybe with an element of romance...but it was doomed to fail from the start.
Unfortunately, the Gretna story goes down as a cautionary tale of what happens if you’re not financially sustainable without your owner.
Fortunately, the supporters trust re-founded the club as Gretna Football Club 2008, and at the time of recording this, they play at the Scottish 5th tier.

Nice video mate
My first time hearing about Gretna
A true quick to rise quick to fall story
Yeah indeed, as soon as I heard about this, I put all my other scripts aside to make this one.
Thank you for your comments, as always. Really appreciate it 🙏🙏
Brilliant video on Gretna. Today they're formed as Gretna Football Club 2008
Thanks alot, my friend. Really appreciate it.🙏🙏
Yeah, it's good to see them reformed again. Thank you for the comment.
I love the story of Gretna. Loved the level of research that's gone through this
Honestly, it's one of the stories that I enjoyed the most researching on. Thank you for the comment. Really appreciate it 🙏🙏
Your channel is sooo underrated. Loved the video on Gretna
Thank alot dude. Really glad that you enjoyed it! Really appreciate your love and support🙏🙏
Well you are definitely going places. This is amazingly well researched. Keep going!
Hi Kierran. Thank you for your comment. Really appreciate your love and support. It really means alot to me🙏🙏🙏
Awesome video! Covered this topic myself, I do wonder if this happened now they’d be able to be like Hoffenheim by selling players for high fees
Hi...Thank you for the comment. I recently watched your Milan-Inter video, and enjoyed it as a fan of Milan, and football history, even when I already knew the topic. I also enjoyed your Gretna video when I was trying to educate myself on the topic. To anyone reading this, I highly recommend this channel.
Yeah, indeed a valid question. Perhaps, had they won that cup final, or survived that first season in the Premiership...Who knows...it's a good "alternate history" discussion.
Thank you for your comment, and looking forward to watch more of your content 🙏🙏
@@FootballDrawn Thanks so much, really glad you enjoyed and thanks for recommendation! I think realistically now players like Bingham or Deuchar that they had would go to a Prem team for around 5 million, which would have allowed them to get funds outside of Mileson
@AFC Finners Thanks alot dude. Really appreciate it. Really hope to see your channel grow far 👍👍
@@FootballDrawn yours too!
Amazing video as always. Didn't know about the Gretna story
Awesome dude...Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for the comment 🙏🙏

Being English, it's the story of our life that the 2 players who missed penalties for Gretna in that cup final were both English 🤦♂️
Hahaha...Yeah dude...the mid 2000's were a rough time to take a penalty, if you were English 😀
Thanks alot, Greg, for the comment. Really appreciate it. 🙏🙏
I'm a Northern Ireland based Gretna FC 2008 supporter who goes over as often as I can afford.
