Dunfermline Athletic has only played teams from Germany and France once

each in competitive football. They came out in front (narrowly) both

times.

 

In season 1964-65, Dunfermline met VfB Stuttgart in the European Fairs

Cup. Defending a 1-0 lead from the first leg with a goal from Tom

Callaghan, the Scots went to Stuttgart and got the draw that saw them

progress in the competition to meet Athletic Bilbao.

 

Girondins de Bordeaux was a much higher scoring affair. The Pars took a

4-0 lead to France with goals from Paton (2), Mitchell and Gardner. A

towsy affair in Bordeaux saw the Pars through in the European Fairs Cup

despite losing two goals. The next opponent would be Gwardia Warsaw.

 

These prints, by renowned football artist Paul Town, are limited editions

of eighty-eight and each is signed by Paul. They contain not only the

paintings but also images of various artefacts from the games. The A3

prints are £25 each unframed and are sold as a pair. Where supporters

have purchased the Everton and Athletic Bilbao prints previously they will

be offered the same numbers for the prints.
