Today was a sad day in the history of Dundee Football Club as the funeral of Alan Gilzean, one of our greatest ever players, took place at the Dundee Crematorium.
Supporters lined the streets around Dens as the funeral cortege passed on route.
At the crematorium, legends from both Gillie’s former clubs Dundee and Tottenham Hotspur were in attendance.
Gillie was a member of the famous Dundee side to become Champions of Scotland in 1962, scoring twice at Muirton Park on the day The Dee clinched the title and followed that up the next year with nine goals on the run to the European Champions Cup semi-final which included a hat-tricks against Cologne and Sporting Club of Portugal and the winner in the semi-final second leg against AC Milan.
We have this evening uploaded a never before seen video interview which was recorded at last year’s Night of Champions event. In the interview Gillie tells us about that famous day at Muirton and talks us through some of his team mates amongst other great stories.
The interview is free for all to view on DeeTV, to access – click here
