Very sorry to hear that.

Was a star when I was growing up and remember seeing him playing in the first few Scotland games I was taken to in the late 60s.

And of course, scored a winning goal v England in 1964.

Thanks for the memories Alan. RIP.

One of the best headers of a ball I ever saw. He never powered them, the ball just seemed to glance of his bald pate. Specially remember him in a 5-3 win away to Wales - there were several great headers in both teams. It is a dying art in my view. BTW thought he was long dead!

Incredible scoring record - almost a goal a game for Dundee and twelve for Scotland from 22 appearances.

Reporting Scotland had a nice if brief tribute tonight but wrongly stated one of the goals  shown was for Scotland in West Germany in 1969 when it was infact for Dundee against Anderlecht in the European Cup six years earlier!

RIP Alan Gilzean
