David Thomson

2016 inductee number three was the late David Thomson from Glenrothes. David is a founder member of Disability Sport Fife (DSF) and a very successful athlete, bowler, archer and wheelchair dancer. David progressed from dancing to choreography and at one time was recognised as one of the best in the UK.

David also established himself as a very competent bowls coach particularly with bowlers who use a wheelchair. It was however as an administrator that David excelled. He served Scottish Disability Sport (SDS) as Treasurer from the mid 70s through to the 90s and Disability Sport Fife as Secretary from 1977 through to 2015. David made a unique contribution to the development of disability sport in Fife and Scotland.

Part of his legacy is the current strength of the administrative and financial structures of DSF and SDS. DSF owes so much to the late David Thomson.
