Motherwell Football Club Heritage Trust

19/05/2026

The stage was set at Dalziel Park for a remarkable celebration of 140 years of Motherwell FC – organised by MFC Heritage Trust and MFC Former Players Club.

The stories.
The memories.
The laughter.
The legends.
The supporters.
The pride.

From outstanding performances by our cast bringing the club’s early history to life, to unforgettable contributions from former players and speakers, the evening captured what makes this football club so special.

A proud moment too as Ian Rankin received the inaugural Club Historian Award for 60 years of outstanding service to Motherwell Football Club.

Thank you to everyone who attended, supported, sponsored, organised and helped create such a memorable occasion.

And now, at Fir Park, another stage is set.

European football awaits.
Another challenge at the top end of Scottish football begins.

The story of Motherwell FC continues.

Few players can say they doubled as Chief Executive while still pulling on the shirt.

Former Motherwell winger Pat Nevin could, in theory, have been dropped as a player — then dismissed the manager who dropped him.

Hear Pat’s stories live at the Motherwell FC 140th Gala Dinner.
