Patrick Savage (19 November 1882 – 9 November 1969) was a Scottish professional footballer who played as a goalkeeper in the Scottish League for Cowdenbeath, Dunfermline Athletic and St Bernard's.[1] He also served as assistant trainer at King's Park.
Savage worked as a miner and his uncle James also played football as a full back for Cowdenbeath.[2] In 1915, during the first 12 months of the First World War, he enlisted in the Fife and Forfar Yeomanry and his battalion would later become a member of the Black Watch. Savage saw action during the Mesopotamian campaign and on the Western Front. After the war, he returned to work as a miner and later as a barman.
