Here's a bus load of Dee supporters on their way to Brussels in 1963 to watch Dundee bang in 4 against Anderlecht! It's not often games like this crop up with us, so dosh well spent I reckon! Dickson's who ran the football specials were based in Reform Street.
Here's a rare piece of film from March 1963. It's the final whistle against Anderlecht, and Dundee have won the European Cup quarter-final game 4-1 over at Heysel Stadium in Belgium. A few Dee fans run onto the pitch, go over to keeper Bert Slater and carry him shoulder high along the length of the pitch. A gesture that gets a warm ovation from the crowd!!
Defeated Anderlecht players leave the pitch as jubilant Dundee supporters invade it. This was the night of the European Cup Quarter Final, 2nd leg on 6th March 1963. Dundee winning 2-1 (6-2 aggregate), in front of a whopping 40,000 at Dens. Photo by The Scotsman.Tints by GG.
