DEE FANS AT MUIRTON - 1962 #2

Dundee supporters run onto the pitch to celebrate. I think this may be for the 3rd goal rather than full time.

There were 26,500 at Muirton to see Dundee win the title in April 1962 against St Johnstone, and probably 20,000 of them were Dees.
Here's a section of these Dundee supporters making plenty noise, cheering the team to victory!

DFC IN THE NEWSPAPERS: #2 - 1962

DC Thomson went to town on this issue of the Sporting Post dated Saturday 28 April 1962, the day Dundee won the Scottish League. 2 goals by Gilzean and 1 from Penman got us the victory at Muirton against St.Johnstone, and thus Dee history was made.
They no longer publish the Sporting Post but I still remember hanging around our newsagent as a young lad in the 60's & 70's, a couple of hours after the Saturday football had finished, and a queue would be waiting ready to pounce on the bundle of Posts chucked onto the pavement from the passing delivery van.
The wee slide show below gives you a few shots of the inside of this issue.
Music is provided by The Shadows, a track aptly titled "Wonderful Life", which was number 1 in the charts on this day.

LEAGUE CHAMPIONS PROGRAMME - 1962

For all who collect Dundee FC programmes, this one is considered to be the most prized. It is of course from the day we became Scottish League Champions at Muirton Park against St Johnstone on 28th April 1962.
Probably difficult to find one for less than £100 these days.
