BERT SLATER AS COACH - 1989/90

Although Bert Slater will always be remembered as Dundee's top goalie in the early 60's, here is a picture of him a couple of decades later when he was Dee coach in 89/90.
A lesser known aspect of Bert is that he once appeared in a TV commercial for Wagon Wheels, the big round chocolate biscuit. The scene kind of resembled Custer's last stand, and Bert was one of the chaps who fell to the ground having been hit by an arrow. It's a wonder he didn't just put a bandage on it and carry on..!!

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.
