Dundee's Bobby Wilson battles it out with Celtic's Paul Wilson, and somewhere during the tussle Paul Wilson loses a boot, but as you can see, still manages to get in his tackle!!The game was a Scottish Cup semi at Hampden on 2nd April 1975. Despite the lack of footwear, Celtic won it 1-0.
This is the programme issued for a Testimonial Game for Bobby Wilson which took place at Dens in December 1975. Although it was against Celtic, there were in fact a few Dundee players in amongst the Hoops with the likes of Allan, Strachan, Gemmell & Phillip teaming up with McNeill, Hood, Lennox and co.The result was a 5-1 Dee victory.Bobby Wilson's final game for the dark blues was in May 1976, a 1-0 win over Motherwell, bringing his time at the club to an end.
Dependable right-back, Bobby Wilson, was with Dundee for 10 years, 1966 to 1976, and is one of the clubs longest serving players. He played in a total of 406 matches. In amongst those games he was involved in such high profile encounters as the 2-0 win over AC Milan and the Scottish League Cup Final victory.He was also part of the Scottish League team who beat the Irish League in Belfast, 2-0.His "sitting on the ball" pose reminds me of the time George Best did this, during an actual match!
