DEE PLAYERS ON SCOTSPORT - 1963

Here's a cutting from a 1963 Sporting Post, featuring a young Arthur Montford discussing the top football story of the day, with guests - Davie Wilson & George McLean of Rangers and Dundee superstars, Alan Gilzean & Alec Hamilton.

EX DEES TOGETHER AGAIN

Flicking through an old Shoot annual I have from 1971, I caught glimpse of 2 ex Dee players who had coincidentally been put side by side in the book.
On page 42 on the left is Ian Ure in his Manchester United strip, and on page 43, Alan Gilzean in action for Spurs.
In the page 43 caption it says, "English football needs more foreigners - long may they continue to invade England!".

GILLIE SCORES IN ABERDEEN - 1963

Below is a piece of footage showing how football was presented on BBC Scotland back in 1963. There is a short comment in it about Dundee beating Aberdeen 4-2 at Pittodrie, on the day this snippet was broadcast. The day being 7th September, and the goal scorers being Gilzean (2), Cameron & Penman.
Dundee finished 6th in the 63/64 season as well as being Scottish Cup finalists, unfortunately losing out to Rangers.

ORIGINAL GILZEAN LETTER - 1964

My brother managed to get Alan Gilzean's autograph just a few months before he was transferred to Spurs. Gillie sent this photo (which he autographed on the back), along with this wee letter. Dated 9 June 1964 it reads - "Sorry to have taken so long to answer your letter, unfortunately I have fallen behind with my fan mail - thus the delay. Enclosed is an autographed photo & trust you will support Dundee in the future."
Aye...still supporting them!

ALAN GILZEAN - TOP GOAL SCORER

What a goal machine oor Gillie was. I think he tops just about every goals record Dundee has. Here's the lowdown on his statistics:
TOP OVERALL SCORER - 169 goals in 190 games.
TOP SCORER IN 1 SEASON - 52 goals in 1963/64.
TOP EUROPEAN SCORER - 9 goals.
TOP SCORER IN 1 GAME - 7 goals against Q.O.S. in 1962.
TOP SUCCESSIVE SCORER - 7 goals in 7 consecutive games.
TOP HAT-TRICK SCORER - 17 hat-tricks.
Amazing...I'd like to see someone TOP THAT..!!
