Peterhead Football Club today surprised Chairman Rodger Morrison, renaming the Main Stand in his honour. Rodger has given forty years service to PFC with twenty of those spent as Chairman, a huge amount of selfless hard work, dedication and financial contribution. As he also helped fund one of the stands here at Balmoor, it was only fitting that the main stand bear the name of "Mr Peterhead" 🔵⚪💙 From those within the club who know him well: "I hold Rodger in very high regard, all those years heading up the club can't have been easy, lesser men would have taken the easy route and moved on. This is a very worthy tribute naming the stand after him" - Les Hill, PFC Vice-Chairman “Rodger has been involved for many decades with the club at Peterhead FC. He was heavily involved when we played at Recreation Park, and was instrumental in the discussions and move to Balmoor Stadium. His knowledge of local businesses, and those further afield, has ensured that the name of Peterhead FC is well publicised. Rodger does a power of work for the club, much of it unseen, and the naming of the main stand at Balmoor Stadium is a fitting tribute, and recognition of the amount of work he has put into Peterhead Football Club over many years.” - Charles Watt, PFC Financial Director "Leadership of a football club comes with many challenges, especially in a close-knit community. Rodger Morrison is a shining example of the strength of character and resilience required and to provide that service to Peterhead Football Club for over 30 years is outstanding. He is always open to speak to supporters and knows the majority on first name terms, that open approach helped the club survive dire times during Covid, now with the community foundation the club is doing more than ever to support the community. It is then very fitting that that dedication and service is recognised by renaming the main stand in his honour" - Gavin Mundie, PFC Community Foundation Chairman "The recognition of Rodger's total commitment to PFC and the unrivalled service he has given the club could not be more derserved. I want to wish the Morrison family a truly memorable day. I am in Italy therefore cannot be there but my head and heart will be at Balmoor this afternoon" - Brian McCombie, PFC Community Foundation Trustee "Rodger has been a great ambassador and Chairman for Peterhead FC since he took over the pie hut at the Rec in 1983. I always regarded the late, great Robbie Warrender as Mr PFC but having worked closely with Rodger over the past 15 years he has taken over that title. Believe me given the 50 years I have been associated with the Club that is great praise! Rodger was the catalyst to build and move to Balmoor and then to gain entry to the Scottish league. A true supporter of this great Club and well worthy of this special tribute" - Nat Porter, Head of Youth & Community "This is a well deserved legacy for a man who lives and breathes Peterhead Football Club" - Jim McInally
