Falkirk Football Club is proud to announce that Kevin McAllister, the club’s Player of the Millennium and one of its most iconic figures, has been named as a Lifetime Ambassador of Falkirk FC.
The honour will be formally presented ahead of Saturday’s match against St Mirren at The Falkirk Stadium, with fellow Lifetime Ambassador Alex Totten making the presentation on the pitch.Kevin, affectionately known to generations of supporters as “Crunchie,” is one of the most beloved players in the club’s history. Born in Camelon, he began his career at Falkirk in 1983 and went on to make more than 350 appearances across four spells with the Bairns spread between times with Chelsea and Hibernian.
Renowned for his skill, flair, and ability to light up games with moments of magic, he became a firm favourite in the terraces of Brockville as a fellow supporter who lived out the dream of every Falkirk fan.
His legendary contribution was immortalised in 2021 when the South Stand of The Falkirk Stadium was renamed the Kevin McAllister Stand in his honour.
A spokesperson for the Falkirk FC Board said:
“Kevin McAllister embodies everything that is special about Falkirk Football Club. His talent, his commitment, and his enduring bond with the supporters make him a true legend. We are delighted to recognise him as Lifetime Ambassador, a role that reflects not only his contribution on the pitch but also the way he has carried himself off it. Kevin is a big part of the history of Falkirk FC, and this honour is richly deserved.”
Alex Totten, who will present the award on Saturday, said:
“It gives me great pride to welcome Kevin alongside me as a Lifetime Ambassador of Falkirk Football Club. I had the privilege of managing him, and I can say without hesitation that he was one of the finest players ever to wear the navy blue. More importantly, he’s a terrific person who cares deeply about the club and its supporters. No one deserves this honour more.”
Kevin McAllister said:
“I’m humbled to be named a Lifetime Ambassador of Falkirk Football Club. The club has always been such a huge part of my life, and to receive this recognition means the world to me. I’ve been fortunate to share so many great memories with the fans over the years, and their support has always meant everything. To be honoured in this way is something very special. I’m incredibly proud.”
The club invites supporters to join us in celebrating Kevin’s achievements at The Falkirk Stadium this Saturday, as he officially takes his place as Falkirk FC’s Lifetime Ambassador.
