Brian Dempsie (born 4 February 1983 in Bellshill, Scotland) former Scottish professional footballer, who played for Motherwell.
Despite being at the club from 1999 to 2003 he never managed to become a regular first team player and was released when his contract expired. He made his first team debut as a substitute for Martyn Corrigan in a Scottish Cup game against Dundee United on 17 February 2001, following that up with his only other appearance, starting in an SPL match against Celtic on 1 December 2002 before being replaced by Paul Quinn.
After leaving Motherwell, Dempsie quit football and became a firefighter with Strathclyde Fire Brigade. On 8 February 2008, a few days after his 25th birthday, Dempsie and a fellow firefighter were badly injured while attending a fire at a garage in Bothwell, South Lanarkshire.[1]
Dempsie is the nephew of the late Phil O'Donnell and cousin of David Clarkson, who also played for the club. Indeed, he is credited with helping to gain the latter a trial with Motherwell.[2]
