Jocky Scott on target in a game against Hibs at Easter Road on 9th March 1974.This was the Scottish Cup Quarters and we ended up drawing 3-3 in Edinburgh in front of a crowd of 28,000.We famously went on to do the biz at Dens (3-0) in the replay the following week in front of an even larger crowd of 30,000!Thanks to GK
This is the kind of image we're all hoping to see repeated in a few months time - a Dundee player holding the 1st Division Championship Trophy aloft.On this occasion, it is Barry Smith flaunting the silverware back in 1998.
Dundee took part in an "International Soccer Series" in North Carolina - USA, in July 2003.This is the programme cover for the tournament.There were 4 teams who participated, with the Dee playing 2 games - the 1st against locals, Raleigh CASL Elite in which we won 5-0, and the 2nd match against a team from Honduras called CD Marathon, a 1-1 draw.All the games were played at SAS Stadium in Cary.
Celebration time as George Shaw is joined by Neil McCann, Neil Duffy and Jim Hamilton in a game at Tannadice in 1995 in which the Dee came out on top with a 3-2 victory.Photo by DC Thomson.
Not sure if this bar of chocolate was made by Cadderry's or Rowndee's, but let's hope it leads to a 2010 with the sweet taste of victory rather than sweet FA..!!Happy Blue Year!
Time to shut shop now for a mid winter break.All going well, the Dark Blues will still be on top, or even further ahead, when I get back to the Shrine in the New Year.Anyone new to the Shrine can catch up with all the past items by clicking on the dates in the Archive down the right-hand side of the layout. They will open up to display previous posts.So to wish you all a Merry Christmas, here below, is a rare recording of a tune you will all recognise, taken on location at a church somewhere in Dundee.Well the do say football is a religion!
You will have spotted the scarf the Major was wearing in the DJ photo a few posts ago. Well here is that very one, in all it's 70's glory!You can click the image to enlarge it if you want to zoom in to view the period patches.The scarf on the right is a genuine original from the 60's, and has to be my all time favourite.An iconic classic!Big THANKS to Jock.
