Bert Paton

Bert Paton (born 29 April 1942) is a Scottish former football player and manager. He is best remembered for a long association with Dunfermline Athletic.

An inside forward, Paton began his senior playing career with Leeds United, returning to Scotland with Jock Stein's Dunfermline in 1961. He stayed ten years with the Fife side, helping them win the Scottish Cup in 1967–68 and reach the final in 1964–65. After over 200 first-team appearances he moved to Berwick Rangers in 1972, although the repercussions of two leg-breaks during his time with Dunfermline forced his early retiral after just five games for the Borderers.

Paton subsequently began a coaching career, initially assisting George Farm at Raith Rovers. He has since worked for his former assistant at Dunfermline Dick Campbell, when Campbell was manager of Brechin City.
