Buckie Thistle Football Club announce that Graeme Stewart has stepped down as Manager of the club.
Spider has released the following statement:
"After much consideration I have taken the very difficult decision to step down as Buckie Thistle Manager.
I have given 100% for the last 10 years and have enjoyed every minute, but I have a young family, 2 beautiful girls, a demanding job and feel I now need to take some time out to recharge the batteries.
I was very fortunate to be given the opportunity to manage Buckie Thistle and I must thank Garry Farquhar, and the board, for all the trust they have shown me.
The last 10 years have been amazing, and I have loved every minute! It wouldn’t be possible without a great team, and I have to thank Lewis Mackinnon, Darren Strong, Hamish Munro and Davie Young for their support and dedication over the years. Without them, and coaches from the past, Andy Low/Stephen Bruce/Frank McGettrick, none of the success we have had would have been possible.
We should have won more but we have done our best and have left the club as the best team in the Highland league and in a good position to build on this success.
I will forever be grateful for being the Buckie Thistle Manager and will always be a fan.
Forever a Jag
Spider"
The club would like to thank Graeme for his outstanding service to Buckie Thistle FC.
Spider has been a massive influence over everything at Victoria Park and has put in a power of work over the last ten years as manager and behind the scenes at the club.
We are all devastated by the news, but understand his reasons for going.
We will now take time as a club to consider our options.
Thank you Spider. ?⚪️?
