The greatest last 20 minutes of a game I've ever witnessed at Dens (or probably any other ground tbf). Wolfgang Overath would be a World Cup winner 3 years later but left the pitch in tears that night. Apparently gave some Dundee players the German version of 'yer tea's oot' when they went 4-2 up on aggregate. They weren't slow to remind him of that at full time 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next round against AC Milan was another memorable one. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think I've ever felt worse after a game than that second leg. (Well, until losing the LL play-off, anyway). Missed out on a trip to Blackpool where my brother was living at the time. Gutted. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mantis Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 (edited) On 20/10/2021 at 16:23, craigkillie said: Curiously, both Dundee United and Rangers played in Valetta, Malta on the same day back in September 1983. Dundee United beat Hamrun Spartans 3-0 in the European Cup and Rangers beat Valetta 8-0 in the Cup Winners' Cup. Even more amazingly than that, both were played in the same stadium as a double header. I was on holiday in Malta in 1983 and one of the excursions was to Mdina in the centre of the island (Valletta is in the north-east corner), and also got a look at Ta’Qali which is nearby and is the National Stadium. As I remember there were only 8 teams in the Maltese league and they all played there, with double headers on Saturday and Sunday. On a grass pitch too. According to the Futbology app, there are loads more stadiums now, and none of the current 12 premier league clubs play there. Valletta now play at the much smaller Centenary Stadium which is nearby. From what I remember there would be a shortage of land around Valletta and Malta is one of the world’s most densely populated countries.

It wasn't all that common, just the odd game here and there. I think that Belgium game at Pittodrie was the only qualifier we played away from Hampden until the 90s. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
