DFC ILLUSTRATED HISTORY

This strip is from a publication from the 1950's. It illustrates the history of the club, featuring things like when Dundee played at Carolina Port in the 1890's, the team parading the Scottish Cup in 1910 and the Dee winning the Scottish League Cup in the 1950's.

AGOG IN THE FOG!

This was one of those games that has since gone on to become part of DFC's history pages.
The match at Ibrox was played during Dundee's title winning season of 1961/62 - 11th November '61 to be exact - the result...Rangers 1 v 5 Dundee.
Apart from the amazing scoreline, two other aspects from the game will be remembered, the thick fog and Alan Gilzean getting 4 of the goals.
No need for me to write the details of the game here though when you can watch it yourselves below. To put you in the picture, however, there was no scoring in the first half so it's the second half action highlights. Unfortunately, the Dees 5th goal by Penman no longer exists, but Gillie's 4 more than makes up for it!

GOOD OLD DUNDEE POSTCARD

This postcard was part of a series of 10 early football cards that were reproduced for an exhibition at Glasgow's Third Eye Centre, titled - Scottish Football : A History, and ran from 14th July to 20th August 1983. The exhibition covered the period - 1872 to 1914.
As regards this Dundee postcard, they played in this "all blue" strip around the 1903-04 era, so I presume the original card must have been from around that date.
