Eednud Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 (edited) On 2 May 1981 5,762 people squeezed into Firs Park to see Dundee defeat East Stirlingshire 1-0 to secure promotion back to the Premier Division by having a goal difference of 4 more than St Johnstone. Hibs were top 5 points ahead. East Stirling finished 11th out of 14. I moved to Australia earlier that season, my last game was a 4-0 home win over Falkirk in September, the second last was a 2-2 draw after being 0-2 down v Berwick Rangers who had Dave Smith ex Aberdeen and a few other clubs playing for them. Also saw George Best playing for Hibs at Dens for the second time that month. In the days before internet I didn’t know the result of the East Stirling game until reading Monday morning’s paper.

Eednud Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 Scotland 2 Uruguay 3 at Hampden on 2 May 1962 att: 67,081. Uruguay were 3-0 up (Sasia 37, Cubilla 44, 47) before Jim Baxter 74 and Ralph Brand 88 scored. Recognise Jim Baxter and Eric Caldow is behind him. A crowd shot from a completely different game pops up. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eednud Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 Eight years earlier at the World Cup in Basel it wasn’t as close. A real contrast in style of strips 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was always a Hampden friendly v foreign opposition right after season ended but many had noticeably poor crowds for the time... fans more parochial? 28 Apr 1948 70,000 Scotland 2-0 Belgium 27 Apr 1949 125,683 Scotland 2-0 France 26 Apr 1950 123,751 Scotland 3-1 Switzerland 12 May 1951 75,690 Scotland 3-1 Denmark (Festival of Britain) 16 May 1951 75,394 Scotland 1-0 France (Festival of Britain) 30 Apr 1952 107,765 Scotland 6-0 USA 06 May 1953 83,800 Scotland 1-2 Sweden 05 May 1954 25,897 Scotland 1-0 Norway 04 May 1955 20,858 Scotland 1-0 Portugal 02 May 1956 80,509 Scotland 1-1 Austria 08 May 1957 88,890 Scotland 4-2 Spain (World Cup qualifier) 07 May 1958 54,900 Scotland 1-1 Hungary 06 May 1959 103,415 Scotland 3-2 West Germany 04 May 1960 26,643 Scotland 2-3 Poland 03 May 1961 46,694 Scotland 4-1 Eire (World Cup qualifier) 02 May 1962 67,181 Scotland 2-3 Uruguay 08 May 1963 94,596 Scotland 4A1 Austria no game in 1964 08 May 1965 60,146 Scotland 0-0 Spain 11 May 1966 16,513 Scotland 0-3 Netherlands 10 May 1967 53,497 Scotland 0-2 USSR no game in 1968 from 1969 the Home Nations moved to an end-of-season schedule 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eednud Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 The 1962 European Cup Final between Benfica and Real Madrid was also on 2 May. I’m sure this was televised live so could have been a factor for lower crowd at the Uruguay game. In the first year of the Home Nations move in 1969 only 7,483 turned up for the game v Northern Ireland. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dundee winning the replay at Dens 3-0 in front of 30,888. Have a feeling there hasn’t been a higher crowd at Dens since then, Alan Gordon played for Hearts, Hibs, Dundee and Dundee United. Picture from cover of the Hibs v Arbroath prgramme from Arbroath Archive. The 3-3 game was my first away game, sure there was nearly 30,000 at that game, plus all the sneaky ins, like me. The 3-0 replay was brilliant, absolutely packed, I normally went behind the goals but that night was against the pitch wall at the top of the Derry steps, don't think I've felt a better atmosphere at Dens. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
