Hubbard would still have been in his 20s then so unlikely!

I think it could be from before this game...

John Cushley and Drew Jarvie sporting some sensational 1970's lamb chop sideburns as Dumbarton take on Aberdeen.

Fred West played for The Sons? Anyone buried under The Rock...

Presumably Clyde showed interest in signing him...

Almost a tour of clubs manged by the recently deceased Billy Lamont. In fact, I think he's in the East Stirlingshire pic

We (Rovers) were one of the few who never had the pleasure,but I remember him having a meltdown at Stark's Park during a reserve game in the late 80s (possibly a reserve cup game v Partick, as the leagues were regionalised) and almost coming to blows with a punter behind the dugouts.

Sorry to hear that he passed away recently.

An aerial view of Dens and Tannadice, going by the fact there is no roof on the big terrace at United I'm guessing late 70's or early 80's.

Always wondered, why did dundee not use an enclosure right along the Derry? Same for behind the goal? I have some sort of memory that the roof was 2nd hand, possibly from Ibrox, but I could be wrong.

I maybe wrong but the grass wear on both pitches indicate route-one from the Dees and silky passing play from Utd.

Must have been pre 1978 (when Jimmy Murphy signed for Dundee).  Otherwise the grass would have been well worn down the wings in that picture of Dens 😎

If you look closely at the land to the west of the roofed enclosure (left side as you look at the photo) the land begins to slope down and therefore become narrower where any extended roofed enclosure would go.  To further build the land up at the time of construction (1959 / 1960 I think) was going to increase construction costs significantly.  At least, that is what I’ve been told in the past.

I think there is an urban myth that Dundee bought the main stand from Rangers.  Maybe that’s what you are thinking about?

For what it’s worth, I like the fact that I sit in the Derry where my father and his father stood watching Dundee.  It’s going to be a real shame (but I accept necessary) if we ever do build a new stadium.
