Notes: Jamie is another product of Alan Robertson's youth team, and more proof, should we need it, that producing our own talent is the best way forward for the club. He has three Scottish caps at Under 21 level but has not been called up to the 'big' team. Jamie has been utilised in the first team in almost every position bar in goals and is a great asset to have in the squad. Unfortunately for Jamie his versatility and the fact that he can't be easily pigeonholed to one position has probably held him back in that he qualifies as the perfect substitute because he can play anywhere. His preferred role though is on the right hand side either at full back or wing back. His biggest asset is undoubtedly his pace which can help him out of trouble every now and then. Moved into a midfield role, which saw club captain Gary Locke struggle to find a place during the 05-06 campaign, as Jamie became the first name down on manager Jefferies teamsheet every Saturday. James Fowler was the killiefc.com Player of the Year for season 2005/06 - More
