DUNDEE FC HANDBOOK - 1983

Don't know who decided to do the cover pink but anyway, this handbook was brought out for the 1983/84 season. Not a particularly good year, finishing 8th and just avoiding relegation, although we did manage to reach the Scottish Cup semi's.
Some of the content includes - DFC's history - a word from chairman, Ian Gellatly - photo of new manager, Archie Knox - a few player profiles - quiz - action shots - squad picture - 82/83 results and 83/84 fixture list.

CHAMPIONS OF SCOTLAND BOOK

Another book that is a must for your shelves is this one by Kenny Ross - Dundee, Champions of Scotland, 1961-62.
Here's a bit of what it says - "1961-62 was a golden season for Dundee Football Club. They became Champions of Scotland by winning the Scottish League title for the first and, to date, only time in their history. They then became Princes of Europe the following year with their fabulous European Cup adventure. For any club outside the old firm to win the Scottish title takes something special, and the Dark Blue side of that time was exceptional."
Here here!
You'll find a lot of match details and behind the scenes information to delve into as well as a bundle of great photos.
Well worth adding to your collection.

IMAGES OF SPORT BOOK - DUNDEE FC

This top notch book sets about covering Dundee FC's history using mainly pictures. It's a real visual treat full of photographs, memorabilia & cartoons, spanning 1893 to 1977.
Here's part of the books description written on the back cover - "This excellent selection of over 200 images brilliantly illustrates the first 84 years of the club's history, and forms a stunning pictorial tribute to the star players and major triumphs of yesteryear. It will delight and interest Dark Blue fans everywhere."
I'll second that, well worth grabbing a copy and still available for around a tenner.
