Eednud Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 Variation on @HibeeJibee theme. On this day in 1895, in only their second season, Dundee met Renton in Dundee’s first ever Scottish Cup Semi Final. Game was played at their then home ground, Carolina Port, in front of 7,500 with the score 1 - 1, both own goals. The replay was a week later at the then Hampden Park in front of 25,000. This game also ended in a draw, 3-3. The Second Replay was at Celtic Park two weeks later with 32,000 seeing Renton win 3-0. Renton lost to St Bernard’s 1-2 in the Final. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They brought star goalie Gordon Banks and Argentina international Roberto Aguire, although George Best only joined later that year, and several Scots were on show.

William 'Plum' Longair in the middle. Capped for Scotland before moving to Man Utd forerunners Newton Heath. Returned to Dundee after playing down south for Sunderland and Burnley. Became the club's trainer when he retired and was part of the management team that delivered Dundee's only Scottish Cup victory in 1910. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arch Stanton Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 Regarding the 5-3 penalty result, I'm, positive there was a European tie in the early 70s where penalties had not long been introduced as a decider. Celtic went 2nd and after 4 penalties were 4-3 up. Their opponents missed their 5th penalty but Celtic, instead of winning 4-3 were made to take their 5th penalty which was scored, IIRC, by Bobby Lennox. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dundee Hibernian Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 Been reading about Hot Shot Hamish, Princes Park FC's star striker. 6' 10" tall, Hamish hailed from the Hebrides, and was rated as having the hardest shot in the world. Played for the club for almost 20 years, as they moved from the foot of the bottom league in the early 'seventies in Scotland to win the European Cup Winners Cup in 1988, before moving to Glengow Rangers, where his career becomes even more 'sketchy'. He turned up again in 2018 playing for Melchester Rovers, went to Spain in a record breaking transfer then returned to Rovers as manager. His recorded playing career covered almost 50 years, which seems unbelievable. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
