Thomson Allan
Dundee have had a fine tradition of good goalkeepers over the years and Thomson Allan certainly fits into that category, winning the Scottish League Cup in 1973 and going to the World Cup in West Germany the following year. His finest moment in a Dundee shirt came on December 15th 1973 when Allan was part of the Dark Blue side which won the League Cup at Hampden with a 1-0 win over Celtic and in the twelve match League Cup run, Allan kept a clean sheet in seven of them including in the quarters, semi and final..
He was confidence personified and inspired his team mates with his immaculate handling and wonderful ability to cut out cross balls and is one of the best keepers to have worn the number one shirt for Dundee.

Ally Donaldson
Ally Donaldson was a fine Dundee goalkeeper for many, many years where he made 408 appearances for the club, for seven different managers, during two spells. He is sixth on Dundee’s all time appearance list and is fondly remembered amongst the fine tradition of goalkeepers that Dundee has. Ally proved to be an outstanding custodian whose height was invaluable at dealing with big centres and he holds the club record of 126 for goalkeeping clean sheets.

Cammy Fraser
Hailing from Fintry, Cammy Fraser is ‘one of our own’ and an inspirational captain from the early eighties. He joined Dundee in September 1980 when they were bottom of the First Division and by the end of the season his drive and attacking midfield flair helped Dundee win promotion and to a national cup final after scoring the winner in the League Cup quarter-final away at Premier League champions Aberdeen and a vital equaliser in the semi against Ayr. He also played his part in the First Division title winning campaign in his second spell in 1992 and was a terrific player who gave his all every time he pulled on a dark blue shirt.

Tosh McKinlay
Tosh McKinlay was a wonderfully, classy left-back with attacking flair who served Dundee with distinction in his 204 appearances. He scored nine goals in a Dark Blue shirt and none is more fondly remembered than his stunning goal in a famous derby win over Dundee United at Tannadice in 1984 for which Dundee fans are forever grateful. His record in the derby of seven wins and six draws help cement his Dark Blue popularity and the Dundee fans were proud to see him go on and represent Scotland at both Euro 96 and France 98 after leaving Dens.

Billy Pirie
There has barely been a more prolific scorer in the Dark Blues’ history than Billy Pirie and his 106 goals in 138 games is a phenomenal ratio. At his peak he looked one of the sharpest strikers around and finished as Dundee’s top goal scorers three years on the trot including 44 goals in season 1976/77 which won him the First Division Player of the Year and this total has yet to be bettered by any player who has followed. Billy was part of the Dundee side which won the First Division in 1979 and the memories of him terrorising First Division defenders live long in the mind of all who saw him.

Keith Wright
Keith Wright is a bone fide Dundee legend who scored 75 goals in 197 appearances as part of two successful striking partnerships in his time at Dens. His most renowned was with Tommy Coyne as one half of ‘The Cobra and The Mongoose” who punished Premier Division defences in the later half of the 1980s. Wright finished as Dundee’s top goalscorer on two occasions, scored the two goals that got Dundee to the Centenary Cup Final in 1990 and was the last Dundee player to be capped by the Scottish League. He was also a thorn in Dundee United’s defence with four wins and seven goals against The Arabs and is perhaps most fondly remembered for his hat-trick against United in a famous 4-3 derby win in August 1989.
