DUNDEEUNITEDFC

Our pictorial input today provides visual proof of the reasoning behind the Club

electing to change almost half a century of monochrome by swapping black and white strips for tangerine and black.

Back row (from left to right): Jimmy Littlejohn (Director), Andy Dickson (Trainer), Jackie Graham, Gerry Hernon, Wattie Smith, Mogens Berg, Finn Dossing, Ian Scott, Donald Mackay, Jerry Kerr (Manager).

Front row (from left to right): Sandi Davie, Tommy Millar, Jim Cameron, Tommy Neilson, Doug Smith, Jim Moore, Finn Seeman, Dennis Gillespie, Billy Hainey.

United twice played in the USA in the 1960s, representing Dallas Tornadoes, as seen here on their first visit in the summer of 1967.

Manager Jerry Kerr’s wife was the driving force behind the change, which took place immediately after the side’s second Dallas stint in the summer of 1969.

8

DUNDEEUNITEDFC.CO.UK

Only six of the 1967 squad saw action in both stints as Dallas Tornadoes: Jim Cameron, Donald Mackay, Dennis Gillespie, Jimmy Briggs (who joined the squad halfway through), and Ian Scott.

The new strip first saw the light of day at Goodison Park, where United lost 4-1 to Everton, who finished the 1969-70 season as First Division champions.

There was also no joy in its first airing at Tannadice, as Hearts came from two down at half-time to win 3-2 in the opening match.

FOCUS ON

ABERDEEN When we last met back in October, The Dons extended their unbeaten run to fifteen matches with a narrow 1-0 victory, thanks to Peter Ambrose’s late strike.

However, since then, they have only recorded two wins in their next ten matches and are currently on a sevenmatch winless streak, following a 4-0 humbling at Kilmarnock.

THE GAFFER

JIMMY THELIN Aberdeen appointed Swedish coach Jimmy Thelin, only the second continental manager in the club’s history, in the summer.

The 46-year-old led Elfsborg to second in the Allsvenskan in 2023, narrowly missing the title to Malmö on goal difference. A central defender during his playing career, Thelin spent his entire career with IF Gajakarna before moving into coaching with Ljungarum in 2005.

He then guided Jönköpings Södra IF from the lower divisions to the top flight, winning the title in 2015.

Known for his emphasis on hard work, organisation, and fitness, Thelin’s strong start at Aberdeen earned him cult status with the fans within just six months - although they are without a win in their last seven outings!

ONE TO WATCH

SHAYDEN MORRIS Although not a regular in the side this season, the 23-year-old turned the game in our encounter at Pittodrie back in October.

Blessed with outstanding pace and trickery, the rightwinger gave Will Ferry his toughest afternoon of the season, as his direct style saw him repeatedly reach the byline.

Picked up by Southend United as a youth, he joined Fleetwood Town’s academy setup in 2018 and earned rave reviews for his performances at under-18 level.

The Londoner made 40 appearances for Fleetwood, scoring twice, before signing a four-year deal at Pittodrie after impressing then-Aberdeen boss, Jim Goodwin.

FRANK

MUNRO 17

DUNDEEUNITEDFC

Since Frank Munro moved south of the border to become a Wolves legend, it is easy to overlook his impact while serving United and Aberdeen before moving south in January 1968.

By age 20, he had made nearly 150 appearances and scored 37 goals for two Scottish clubs before joining Wolves.

Frannie started at Chelsea but moved to United in August 1963, signing his first professional deal at 16. After a year in the reserves, he made a dramatic first-team debut, scoring a late winner in a 3–2 League Cup victory over Dundee at Dens Park in the 1964– 65 season opener.

Huddersfield Town showed interest but baulked at the £15,000 fee. He eventually joined Aberdeen in October 1966 for a fee believed to be £12,000, having played 80 games and scored 23 goals while at Tannadice.

United in a reserve game at Pittodrie.

At Pittodrie, he quickly became a key player for Eddie Turnbull, who had been impressed by Munro’s performance for

European qualification saw Munro score their first-ever European goal with a hat-trick in a 10–1 win over KR Reykjavik in

His first season was a success, earning a runners-up medal in the 1967 Scottish Cup Final, a 0–2 loss to Celtic at Hampden. Aberdeen’s

Despite his youth, his talent made him a first-team regular and earned him international youth recognition. In his debut season, during United’s Scandinavian transformation, he played 40 of 54 matches, culminating in a runners-up medal after Motherwell’s 3–2 aggregate win in the Summer Cup final.

Primarily featuring in an inside-right position, he was equally comfortable playing at wing-half or even as a winger, though his future career was as a centre-half.

After two full seasons, Munro became unsettled and was reluctant to re-sign. Although he eventually did, he was transfer-listed.

DUNDEEUNITEDFC.CO.UK

the Cup Winners’ Cup. After 14 goals in 59 games, he secured a £55,000 move to Wolves in January 1968.

Wolves boss Ronnie Allen was impressed

by Munro’s hat-trick for Aberdeen— playing as the Washington Whips— against Wolves in the 1967 President’s Cup Final, a thrilling 6–5 win for Wolves.

Munro went on to play 371 times for the Midlands club, becoming firmly established as a centre-back despite signing as a midfielder. He also chipped in with 18 goals, including strikes in both legs of the 1972 UEFA Cup semi-final win over Ferencváros. He played in the final, collecting another runners-up medal after a 2–3 aggregate defeat to Spurs.

Fortunately, Munro didn’t have to wait long for a winners’ medal, as Wolves lifted the 1974 League Cup after a 2–1 victory over Manchester City at Wembley.

Wolves also won the Texaco Cup in 1971.

Munro’s performances for Wolves earned him nine Scotland caps—as well as four at under-23 level—between 1971 and 1975. His full debut came on 18 May 1971 against Northern Ireland, and his final appearance for Scotland was in a 1–1 draw against Romania in Bucharest.

Shortly after helping the Midlanders regain their First Division status in 1976– 77, Munro returned to Scotland, drawn by

the lure of Celtic. He signed after a short loan spell in December 1977 for £20,000, giving him the distinction of being the last player Jock Stein signed as Celtic manager.

His time in Glasgow was short-lived.

Despite picking up another runners-up medal in the 1978 Scottish League Cup, Celtic only finished fifth in the Scottish Premier Division.

Released by Celtic in the summer of 1978, Munro sought a new challenge in Australia, signing for South Melbourne Hellas, managed by former Wolves goalkeeper Dave MacLaren. Although initially planned as a short-term arrangement, he ended up moving there permanently.

During the 1980s, Munro took on a player/ coach role at Albion Rovers (Victoria, Australia) before retiring as a player. He later managed Hamlyn Rangers (now Geelong Rangers F.C.) and Keilor Park.

Munro returned to the UK in 1991 and settled in Wolverhampton but sadly suffered a stroke in the early 2000s that left him confined to a wheelchair for the rest of his life. He passed away on 16 August 2011.

Sixteen-year-old Frank Munro heads the late winner in United’s 3–2 derby win on the opening day of the season in August 1964.

FOCUS 7 MARCH 2011

UNITED 3 Barry Douglas (29) Craig Conway (33) Danny Swanson (60) ABERDEEN 1 Josh Magennis (51)

United capitalised on the first of two consecutive home games to jump to fifth place with a convincing victory over the Dons. Goals from Barry Douglas and Craig Conway gave United a

30

two-goal lead at halftime. Josh Magennis pulled one back for Aberdeen after 51 minutes, but a spectacular strike from Danny Swanson nine minutes later sealed the win.

Peter Houston made two changes to the side that won 2-0 away to Inverness. Paul Dixon missed out due to illness, and Stuart Armstrong dropped to the bench.

Timothy van der Meulen and Prince Buaben were brought in, with Buaben having scored United’s opener in the Highlands.

Aberdeen threatened first, earning a corner that Zander Diamond met with a firm header, only for Pernis to make a fine save. Diamond had to leave the field with a head wound and returned wearing a bandage, only to immediately receive a yellow card for a late challenge on Buaben.

David Goodwillie looked United’s biggest threat upfront, setting up Keith Watson for a cross that

narrowly missed the target. At the other end, Buaben’s challenge left Young requiring treatment, and United began to push forward.

A long ball from Pernis caused trouble for the Dons’ defence, but the referee waved away claims for a penalty when Robertson went down under a high challenge from Considine.

In the 27th minute, Craig Conway won a corner, and Barry Douglas met the cross at the near post, heading past Langfield for his first Tannadice goal. United piled on the pressure, with a Morgaro Gomis effort hitting the post and rebounding off Langfield’s back for another corner.

Aberdeen’s defence continued to struggle, and Diamond was replaced by Rory McArdle.

Langfield’s luck ran out when Craig Conway unleashed a 25-yard shot that the keeper misjudged, pushing it into his own net. Aberdeen tried to respond, with Jack

forcing a smart save from Pernis, but United controlled the first half.

past Langfield to restore United’s twogoal cushion.

After the break, Magennis replaced Aluko and injected some energy into Aberdeen’s attack. Five minutes into the second half, he headed home a Jack cross to bring the visitors back into the game. Pernis then denied Milsom as the Dons sought an equaliser.

United regained control, with Shala testing Langfield and Pernis making a crucial save from Magennis. Goodwillie appeared to be fouled in the box by Considine, but the referee waved play on.

Despite Aberdeen’s physicality, United passed the ball beautifully in midfield and continued to create chances.

Conway was substituted for Andis Shala after picking up a knock, and moments later, Goodwillie’s overhead kick struck the post. However, in the 61st minute, Goodwillie played a perfect through ball to Swanson, who fired a powerful shot

As time ticked down, Johnny Russell replaced Goodwillie, and United comfortably saw out the match to claim a well-earned victory in front of 7,416 fans.

Attendance: 7,416 United: Pernis, Watson, van der Meulen, Dillon, Douglas, Swanson (D. Robertson 70), Buaben, Gomis, S. Robertson, Conway (Shala 54), Goodwillie (Russell 88).

DUNDEE HIBS 5-1 EAST FIFE | LEAGUE

29 DECEMBER 1951

DUNDEE UTD 5-0 QUEEN’S PARK | LEAGUE

This was the Club’s biggest win of the season, but The Sunday Post proclaimed, “The score flatters their superiority.”

James McGuire headed the opener, and a MacCabe double saw Hibs three up by the break. Law pulled one back for the Methil men early in the second half, but a Napper Thomson penalty and a Fraser goal sealed the fifth. Yet, three days later, Hibs were beaten 3-1 at Bayview!

1973 A freak goal after 34 minutes by Peter McKay sent United on their way to a comprehensive victory. The centre forward bulleted in a header which

32

the Spiders’ keeper saved brilliantly, only for his arm to hit the post, causing the ball to roll over the line. Pinkerton was also at fault for the second goal, allowing a Frank Quinn shot to squirm from his hands right after halftime. Quinn’s second goal was a cheeky back-heel after George Mitchell had scored the third. Rounding off an afternoon where Queen’s shot themselves in the foot, Ross deflected a Mitchell drive that was going wide into his own net.

DUNDEE UTD 6-0 DUMBARTON | LEAGUE Andy Gray’s quartet of goals took his tally to 14 in just 23 appearances.

Dumbarton manager

Alex Wright dubbed Andy Gray ‘Superkid’ after the 18-year-old tore the Sons apart, scoring four times before missing a penalty.

His first came after 17 minutes, with Tommy Traynor doubling the lead before the interval.

Frank Kopel added a third early in the second half before Superkid scored three more. He could have bagged a fifth but sidefooted an 85th-minute penalty past the post to show he’s human.

Hamish McAlpine saved low to his left.

cross was flicked home by Goodwillie on 35 minutes.

On 64 minutes, Richard Gough played Paul Sturrock in, and Luggy lashed the ball past Bonner to equalise. Seven minutes later, Gough headed in an Eamonn Bannon cross. Hard as it is to believe now, United extended their unbeaten run at Parkhead to five games!

Crucially, with just seconds to go until the interval, Sol Bamba pulled one back with a header after Pernis had done well to parry Riordan’s free-kick. Spurred by that breakthrough, Hibs looked much livelier in the second half and were rewarded with a late leveller when Paul Hanlon prodded home.

CELTIC 1-2 DUNDEE UTD | LEAGUE After beating leaders Aberdeen, United meted out the same dose of medicine to secondplaced Celtic. Remarkably, a missed penalty turned the match. Celtic had gone ahead through Tommy Burns in the first half and were awarded a penalty when John Holt’s hand diverted a Brian McClair header. Mo Johnston, however, weakly hit the spot-kick, and

A decent point given injuries, suspensions, and lack of match practice— but with United having created the platform for a comfortable win by going two up, this felt like two points dropped.

Due to the Beast from the East, this was the first outing in six weeks, but the Terrors showed no signs of rustiness as they made a dream start. David Goodwillie coolly slotted home after two minutes, and United deservedly extended their lead when Paul Dixon’s
