More info on the Dundee United Newspaper Book

Dundee United was founded in 1909 and originally called Dundee Hibernian. In 1910 the club was elected into the Scottish Football League. When the club was saved from going out of business in 1923 the name was changed in order to attract a wider appeal. Our Dundee football book starts in 1925, the club’s first year in the First Division. The history of this well respected club is covered in wide range of reports from their most impressive games from Scotland to European competition. Along the way other highlights are presented from every era. A story from 1967 relates the 9:0 drubbing of Stirling Albion, a report from 1987 reports on the 7:0 thrashing of Kilmarnock, and in the 1990s an impressive 4:0 win over Aberdeen is detailed. These moments of history go into making a fine souvenir for a fan of Dundee.

The faithful of Tannadice Park can wallow in the factors that make Dundee the club it is today. Games from the clubs European expeditions feature throughout this personalised Dundee United football book. Famous and glamorous names succumb to the ‘Tangerines’ like Barcelona, Grasshoppers of Zurich, Monaco (who can forget the 5:0 score line), and another famous night with a 5:0 victory over Borussia Moenchengladbach

1997 brings coverage of the promotion back to the Premier League after beating Partick Thistle in the play-offs. In the same year two wins over Rangers and Aberdeen are recorded for the ‘Arabs’ delight. Other nostalgic jewels include the Scottish Cup run of 2005 and a thrilling 5:4 victory over Motherwell from 2005. This Dundee United football book throbs with epic football duels.

More recent history is covered with stories of the return to Tannadice Park of the ‘prodigal son’ Craig Brewster in 2006 and his short tenure. The appointment of Craig Levein as his successor is also reported. This football gift also covers many of the wins against the ‘other’ Dundee team; a perfect Dundee United gift idea.
