Rarely seen footage from the Main Stand Enclosure at Dens Park on the 14th May 1983. Thank you so much to Pierre Bernard for sharing his dad's cinefilm showing a fans point of view from probably the most memorable day in the clubs history. 🧡🖤🏆

Finally got around to finishing these and donated a first print of both to the raffle at the superb @feddusc POTY event last night. If anyone would like a print of my Nadir Ciftci and 1982/83 Squad drawings, please DM me for details.

The most DUFC players to play for 🏴 in a game is 5️⃣ in a friendly v Israel in January 1986. Jim Bett would also go on to to play for United.
Great win for Scotland and 5 ex-United players on the park at the end. 🧡🏴

It was Dundee United's golden era. They may not have won the UEFA Cup that year, but they gave a good account of themselves in the final and throughout the tournament. Victories like this gave United fans the memories of a lifetime.

But the grand prize for the most successful date of the calendar year goes to... CHRISTMAS DAY With 6 wins in 8 games, December 25 is unmatched in terms of success for United - and unless Dec 3rd, or third placed Jan 24th can catch it - it will likely stay that way forever!
Then comes the highest WIN RATIO for United on any given calendar date. The award for this - with a win ratio of 71.43% is jointly held by December 3rd and March 27th.
