Stewart Petrie: The Second Longest Serving Manager in the SPFL (E3)


Listen Later

Stewart Petrie is the current manager of Montrose, who are well into the race for playoff promotion out of League 1, Scotland's third tier of professional football. Most notably known for his decade-long term in the Dunfermline front line, he was there to witness the inception of the A-League in Australia, and enjoyed stints at Forfar, Ross County and, even briefly, in Singapore. To supplement, his managerial career has been eccentric. For the last seven years, he's been at the helm of Montrose, winning a league title and establishing them as playoff regulars in League 1, despite any disadvantages they may face. Impressively, he sits only behind The Spartans' Douglas Samuel in the "Longest Serving Active SPFL Managers" league table, and his "era" can bolster its own dedicated section on Montrose's Wikipedia page.


To crack "the cinch" so early on in the podcast journey has been superb, and I can't thank Stewart enough for being apart of it! A humorous, informative, and incredibly insightful chat with such a gentleman. He's a real credit to his club and acts as a great advert for lower league football in this country. If he's charmed you enough, make sure to catch Montrose in the second half of this season in their quest for Championship football.


A quick thanks to you all for the support on the first couple of episodes. I'm grateful for all your support so far, it means the world. Love you all x
