In the first derby since United beat Dundee @ Dens to win the League Cup a year earlier, United run out 5-2 winners, goals from Kirkwood & Sturrock had Utd cruising before Dundee pulled one back from the panalty spot right on HT, a Hamish McAlpine mistake allowed Dundee to level before world class goals from Ralph Milne & Eamonn Bannon put Utd 4-2 infront before Sturrock makes its 5 on the break.

I'm a Hibs fan, but well do I remember how great this Dundee United team were at that time. Great players like Sturrock, Dodds, Narey, Milne, Hegarty and Bannon, and just look at that crowd. It's depressing to think of the state scottish football is in now when you think of the players and crowds that were rolling up back then.
