Former Managers

• Jim Campbell - Known to his nearest & dearest as 'Peem', Jim's reign as Dornoch manager during the mid 80's was steeped in silverware. Jim is also thought to be the clubs all time leading goalscorer however official records to substantiate this claim are not currently available.
• Dave ? - Dave claimed to have honed his football management skills through regular discussion with one time Sheffield Wednesday manager Peter Shreeves. Whilst Dave did not achieve the results on the pitch the board had hoped for, he built up a wonderful rapport with the Dornoch supporters and will forever have a place in the memories
• Roddy Mackay - Hailed as 'Rods Revolution', Roddy's stint in charge of the Zebras produced some great football on the pitch but unfortunately didn't deliver trophies to the Club's redundant trophy cabinet. Roddy's somewhat exuberant behaviour often got him into trouble with the club's hierarchy and Summer League officials. Although during his season in office - 2006 - Roddy missed a club fundraising car push, on the whole his commitment to the Dornoch cause could never be questioned.
• Donald Ross - As manager, Donald was always going to find it difficult to deliver the level of glory to the Dornoch faithful he did as a player. Although the players idolised and gave everything for the fountain of footballing knowledge that is Donald Ross, his tenure produced just one win. Donald cleared the final bic pen and staedler rubber from his desk in late July 2009.

Celebrity Supporters

• Dick Kruger - Dedicated and passionate DCFC supporter. Dick is renowned in the local community for his unrivaled collection of garden gnomes, which portray his colourful personality.
• Martin Macleod - Martin has been prone to being in the North East press for all the wrong reasons over the years. Infamously charged with letting off tear gas in Tain Town hall in the early nineties, Martin also made the front pages of the Northern Times when he was the subject of a hit & run incident in the grounds of the Dornoch Hotel. Martin is a hotshot on the pool table and is rumoured to have beaten Pro Scottish Snooker player Alan Mcmanus in a one frame shoot in the Sutherland Arms, Dornoch.
• Grant Bruce - Star of 'Brucey on the Run', which has received widespread attention on YouTube
