I've noticed some of the DFC graphics I've put up on the Shrine are cropping up on Ebay now in various formats. Badges, mugs and so on.....delighted to see you put the items to good use and help spread the word..!!And talking about words, here's another idea somebody somewhere may be able to do something with. The ready made words that fit perfectly are taken from that 80's pop classic by the Police - "Every breath you take".I'm sure somebody like Bob Brady would even be able to do a full parody of the song with a few tweaks here & there to the lyrics. A wee idea for the suggestion box anyway!
Dundee certainly was buzzin' in the early 60's. DFC Scottish League champs in 62, European Cup nights and The Beatles playing Caird Hall in 63.The 2 Dundee players in the photo with The Beatles are, Hugh Robertson (guitar) and George Ryden. I don't think I need to mention the fab 4 individually!Hugh is no doubt telling Lennon & McCartney of an even better group hitting the pop scene... Hammy and the Hamsters!George Ryden used to live 3 doors along from me in the 60's. We used to play futba in the cul-de-sac, him in the Dundee team and me at primary. He used to do his fancy footwork wearing winkle pickers!!Little did this lot know then, that a few years later, Lennon & McCartney songs would end up as football chants at Dens Park.Below are 2 examples - "Hey Jude" and "Give peace a chance".I'm pretty sure the "Yellow Submarine" tune was sung too but I just can't remember how that chant went.Photo by DC Thomson.Tints by GG
