Ex-World Series of Poker champion in talks to invest in Championship club

He's forged quite the business career since his mega windfall.

AN ex-professional poker champion is in talks to buy a share in Scottish Championship side Dunfermline, reports say.

James Bord - a former winner of the World Series of Poker Europe Main Event - is hoping to play his cards right by leading a consortium looking into buying into the Fife club.

Dunfermline's owners put the club up for sale earlier this season.

German investment group Fussball GmbH initially bought a 30% share in the Pars four years ago, which rose to a 75% holding the following year.

But given supposed supporter negativity having started the 2024/25 campaign poorly, they revealed their decision to sell.

It's likely this new investment will see a cap on the number of shares Bord's consortium will be able to purchase, similar to what Bill Foley was subject to at Hibs.
