Billy Stark’s pre-Kilmarnock career saw him win multiple major trophies in Scotland before he joined Celtic - testament to the quality of the game in general and of the midfielder specifically.

So when, in 1990, Billy agreed to be part of the Jim Fleeting revolution at the club with big plans for the future, much was expected. Yet it did not work out as planned. A serious of injuries restricted his involvement and effectiveness.

The real Billy Stark story begins on his return to the club, having spent a year coaching with Hamilton. As Tommy Burns’ assistant manager, the push for promotion began…

A huge fans’ favourite of the mid-1970s, local boy Iain McCulloch did the hard graft to make it in the game. From an early narrow escape, signing a contract with a club he couldn’t travel to play for, through years working as a heating engineer, the midfielder’s father played a crucial role in guiding him.

For Iain, being the best he could be was the focus. His pride at signing for Kilmarnock is clear, as is his fondness for the support who crowned him Player of the Year.

Synonymous with the club across several decades in numerous roles, Jimmy Clark is perhaps best known as the trusted first-team coach when Kilmarnock lifted the Scottish Cup in 1997. A tactician with a focus on the defensive side of the game, it was his set piece plotting which set the platform for Paul Wright’s winner on that sunny day in May.

Jimmy's story is much, much more than those five years with Bobby Williamson and Gerry McCabe. A supporter since the 1950s, he fulfilled a dream when he became a key part of the early 1980s Killie midfield. Later in the decade he returned as a coach, only to find himself restored to the starting 11!
