ShedTA Posted May 14, 2015 Author Share Posted May 14, 2015 In the picture above I was right behind the players, near that post in the old stand enclosure. was like sardines in a tin there - could barely move my arms to clap and had to stand on tip toes to see. amazing day though - i will never forget the emotion at the final whistle.

jock strap Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 We are the Champions And we go to Tannadice because The boys who wear the black and tangerine Are gonna take us on a European dream We are the Champions And we're Scotland's number one because We played the other rest and put them out of sight We are U-ni-ted On the 14th of May, 1983 Six minutes into the half The ball soared over Kelly's head And it was Happy Birthday Ralph ( Chorus again ) Down goes Davie in the Dark Blue box PENALTY KICK! Opportunity knocks Kelly saves - has the big chance gone? NO! Eamonn slams it home ( Chorus again ) United's boys are heroes all From Hamish to Doddsie, they're on the ball The Old Firm can't believe their eyes The flag's at Tannadice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utd's first three trophies were all won at Dens, within 4 years of exh other. Didn't lift. Trophy anywhere else till 94.Explains why they hate us, and why we're a bit meh about them.

scoobydoo Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Dens was rammed full that day. I think the official attendance was about 29000. I was in the tckeay end and got on the pitch at the end. It was a shit game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShedTA Posted May 15, 2015 Author Share Posted May 15, 2015 (edited) I was in there too, and up on the pitch at the end. 12 years old, assumed it would happen all the time. aye, so true Adam. I was about the same age and thought this was the start of many league titles to come. To be fair we were spoilt by what we were watching, and what they achieved in that period was still pretty impressive. I remember looking towards the provost road end from the enclosure and the tangerine had crept about a third of the way along that end. flags and scarves waving - amazing scenes. Do you remember the derry charging onto the pitch at full time as well? I thought it was going to kick off but thankfully it didnt. did get bricks lobbed at us out of the hilltoon multi's on the way home though, but nothing was stopping the party that day.
