Think of Willie Johnston x 5 and you will get a better idea. Gordon Strachans last game for Dundee was a 6-0 hammering ( for Dee) at Palmerston in 1977. Dickson and Strachan probably crossed swords then.
Very much so . Signed half way through 75-6 season when we were rock bottom and staring relegation in the face . His searing pace and goals kept Queens up . Signed for a figure around £15,000 ( a big figure in 1975) from Albion Rovers .Controversial player though and I know for a fact that the mid seventies team meet up once a year for a boys day out and Dickson doesn't get invited. They don't like him much at all.
Depending on what age you are Adamski , you might know little about him. Signed in 79 ( I think ) from Stenhousemuir and was here to about 83. Bearded Billy played in midfield and tried very hard but things didn't always/ ever come off for him ,getting absolute pelters off from the barrackers on the terraces. Poor guy must have been a masochist to put up with it.
As you say , don't take everyone else's word for it , nevertheless, some interesting reading on the Mark Millar thread on League 1 chatter. Edit to add that I would like all our new signings to be as' hopeless' as Derek Young was .
Billy Gordon ruined my innocence of childhood. This because the first real aggressive ,sweary words I heard were directed at him by QoS fans in the late 70/early 80's. Quite unnerving to a young lad.
