This shatters any claim to be a community or family club."The thought of the rapist David Goodwillie running out on the pitch at Starks Park in a Raith Rovers shirt with my name on it makes me feel physically sick."Richard Osman - co-presenter of the BBC show Pointless and a fellow author - sent his support: "Urghhh, what are they thinking?
