    Not mentioned this to you before but my Mum's ex partner around 20 years ago was Dennis Gillespie's nephew. I met him once. Sadly passed away with dementia linked to the leather football of the 60's but by all accounts he was some player!

    Long boring story mate. Possibly going back to a disastrous pre season tour in 1972.
    Just google Nigeria Dundee United to get the story.
