History of the Portland Parker

Troon F.C. were one of the first Junior clubs to produce a regular match day programme. In season 1981–82 “The Portland Parker” was released, and was the work of programme editor and legendary Troon F.C. committee member John Oliver, who had a long association with the club right up until his untimely death in 1996.

Local photographer John B. Vass briefly took up John Oliver’s mantle in continuing the publication, which was then overtaken by then Vice-Chairman Sinclair Gair.

Committee man Richard Henderson took over the production of the match programme in 2015.
