Everyone at Dundee Football Club was saddened to hear of the passing of Harry Hay, a former fitness coach with the Club and accomplished runner and athletics coach. A friend to many.

Harry spent many years at Dens Park and was a notable member of the First Division Championship winning side in 1998 under Managers John McCormack and then Jocky Scott. He worked specifically on the fitness of the first team squad and devoted his time selflessly to many players on an individual basis.

Speaking to the Evening Telegraph back in 2015 Harry spoke of his time at Dens. “I spent 24 years at Dens Park as their fitness coach. I was asked in by then manager Gordon Wallace to work with the young players such as Billy Dodds, Steven Frail, Mark Craib and Andy Dow to name a few.
“I can always remember our training sessions.
“It was up The Law, and also running up and down the stairs on our arrival back at Dens.
“We also went along to Alexander Street to finish our session it was up and down the multi storeys’ 21 flights of stairs.
“Brilliant days.”

Widely known and appreciated in football and athletics circles Harry will be sorely missed by many!

The thoughts of everyone at Dundee Football Club are with Harry’s family and friends at this sad time.
