Rashid Sarwar

Although his career at senior level was short and unremarkable, he is notable as one of very few Asian-Scots to have been involved in professional football even to that extent.

[1][2][3] Born in Paisley, Scotland to Pakistani parents, Sarwar was signed for Kilmarnock by manager Eddie Morrison, who is said to have struggled with the spelling of his new recruit's personal details on the contract – including the local birthplace.

[4] He made his competitive debut in May 1985 in a 4–1 defeat to Airdrieonians at Rugby Park, his only appearance that season.

[5] In the next campaign, 1985–86, he made 19 league starts plus one in the Scottish Cup, also scoring what proved to be his only goal in a 4–2 win over Brechin City.

[5] Having failed to keep his place in the Kilmarnock squad, Sarwar moved on to the Junior grade with Maryhill.
