Staged every November at the Adam Smith Theatre in Kirkcaldy, it has brought some of the biggest names in football to town, and inducted a host of club legends.

The 2020 show, like all other live events with a huge audience, was cancelled because of the pandemic.

It was already sold out when the news came through – so we wanted to mark the occasion with a selection of images featuring just a few of the highlights on stage over the past eight years.
