DUNDEE FC PENNANT FROM THE 70'S

From around the mid 70's era is this original DFC pennant which I'm sure a few of you probably had on your wall at the time. A little tatty near the bottom but otherwise in top notch condition. This was made of a plastic/pvc type of material which has probably helped keep it in such good nick after 4 decades.

BOB SHANKLY WITH DEE PLAYERS

I find this a funny image. It's like the prince and the paupers, with Bob Shankly in his shirt & tie and Bobby Cox and co hanging around as if they are just back from a jumble sale! Not one of the players outfits match....and a couple of them are wearing sannies!!

JIM McLEAN AT DENS

No booing now..!!
He actually looks quite cheery here. It must have been his move across the road that turned him soor...!!!
Anyway, his time as a DFC player was from 1965 to 68, where he notched up 120 games in total.
He was even Dundee's top scorer one year - the 1966/67 season.
It took him a few games to get going though - his dark blue debut in Sept 65, ironically against United, saw us get walloped 5-0!!
This photo was taken in 1970, during the time he was first team coach.
