Tommy Gemmell 1943 - 2017
Everyone at Dundee Football Club was saddened to hear of the death of former player and manager Tommy Gemmell at the age of 73.
Tommy signed for the club in July of 1973 and later that year went on to captain Dundee to a League Cup victory over his former club Celtic. On the road to the final he scored the only goal of the game in the Semi Final win over Kilmarnock at Hampden.
He remains the last man to lift a major trophy for the club.
Tommy spent four season at Dens as a player before hanging up his boots and becoming manager of the club. The highlight of his three years in charge at Dens was promotion back to the Premier League in 1978/79 as champions.
The thoughts of everyone at Dens are with Tommy’s family and friends at this sad time.
