Chris Templeman (born 11 September 1980, in Kirkcaldy) is a Scottish footballer who plays as a striker for Forfar Athletic. He has played for several other Scottish Football League sides, as well as making appearances in the Scottish Premier League for Dunfermline Athletic.

Career

His career started with Dunfermline Athletic, the club he supported as a boy, and, while there, he spent time on loan at Dumbarton and Stirling Albion. After signing for Brechin City on a permanent basis he was instrumental in guiding them to the Scottish Football League First Division in season 2002–03.

Greenock Morton then paid a "considerable fee"^[1] (believed to be £200k including wages, approximately £80k up front for the transfer fee) for Templeman made all the more amazing that Stevie Crawford, then a Scotland international, was bought by Dundee United in the same week for the same amount.

After a poor start at Cappielow, punctuated by a return to Brechin City on loan, Templeman became a regular starter and important player at Cappielow, his most famous goals probably being his double against SPL side Kilmarnock in the Scottish Cup Third Round, where Morton won 3–1.

However by the start of the 2007–08 season, with Morton having won promotion to the First Division, Templeman's playing time began to decrease, largely in favour of Peter Weatherson and Iain Russell. He came on frequently as a substitute in the second half, notching up three goals in cup competitions.

On 17 January 2008, it was announced that Sanny would be moving to East Fife. It was not announced if a transfer fee was paid. However by the 21st January he was an East Fife player.

In June 2009, Templeman joined Forfar Athletic after being released by East Fife
