DAVE SOUTAR - FULL BACK

The last, for now, of the lesser known Dee players is, ex Clyde full back, Dave Soutar. He seems like an old pro compared to the previous players in the sequence, as he managed to notch up 9 full games for the club during the 1970/71 season, when this photo was taken.

IAN SMITH - OUTSIDE RIGHT

This photo of right winger, Ian Smith, was taken in the 1970/71 season.
He did actually play in 1 full game for the first team on 21st October 1972 against Killie, and so was obviously on Dundee's books for at least 3 seasons.

DAVID HENDERSON - CENTRE FORWARD

This is David Henderson, centre forward in the 1970/71 season, although no sign of him having had any first team action.

GRAHAM ROBERTSON - FULL BACK

This one is Graham Robertson, full back for the Dee reserves in the 1970/71 season.

RAYMOND STEELE

No info on Raymond Steele other than he was at Dens in the late 60's.

ROBERT PRENTICE - OUTSIDE LEFT

This is Robert Prentice, who played outside left in 1970/71.
I also have a photo of him with the full first team squad from the same season, but there is no account of him having played with them, so I can only assume his time at Dens was with the reserves.

CHARLIE McVICAR - INSIDE FORWARD

Another one of the Dees mystery men was Charlie McVicar, inside forward in the 1970/71 season.

GEORGE FALCONER - INSIDE FORWARD

At least I have a wee bit of info on George Falconer. He was a forward, previously with Raith Rovers, and as far as I've been able to establish, he has played only 1 full game for the Dee, that being in the 1970/71 season against Killie.

MICHAEL CAIRNEY - INSIDE FORWARD

The 3rd of the fringe players from the past is Michael Cairney, an inside forward in the 1970/71 season.

COLIN LOWE - WING HALF

This is Colin Lowe, wing half for the DFC reserves, 1971/72 season.
If you have anymore info, drop it into the comments.

MICHAEL HORNE - GOALKEEPER

So, do you reckon you know everything there is to know about Dundee FC?
Well it's not a claim I'd like to make about myself, but I've got a batch of photos coming up next which I'm pretty sure will test your knowledge of DFC to the limit!
What it is, is I have a set of images of fringe players, some who only played in the Dees reserves and a couple who played only 1 or 2 games for the full team.
I must admit, the players I will be putting up on the Shrine over the next few days, I have never heard of, so it will be interesting to find out if any of you know anything about them. Were they local lads? Did they move on to play for another team?
The only the details I have are their names, position, and season.
See how you get on...starting with this chap here - Michael Horne, who was a goalie in the 1971/72 season.

DUNDEE SQUAD - 1969/70 SEASON

Here's the team getting ready for the start of the 1969/70 season at Dens.
Those of you needing player ID, check out the photo of the same squad I put up in the March 2009 archive. Just put "Conga" into the search box!

HUGH ROBERTSON - R.I.P.

HUGH ROBERTSON : 1939 - 2010
Dundee FC : 1957 - 1965

BOBBY COX IN ACTION

The Shrine has been suffering from computer gremlins the past couple of weeks, hence the lack of posts. I'm still trying to sort it out.
Meantime, here is a photo of Bobby Cox striking a pose at Dens.
