WoodStein Posted 8 July 2018 Report Share Posted 8 July 2018 Sad news, the man was a living legend to all of us who were fortunate to see him play for The Dee - I suspect I’ve yet to see any Dundee player score as many goals as I saw from Gillie (though Jocky would be close, maybe), but it wasn’t just his goals...he was invlolved from halfway line to goal-line in so many flowing moves. The away wins at Ibrox (5-1) & Anderlecht (4-1) are always worthy reminders of what we once had....glimpses of genius. A very humble gentleman of the game, and I look forward to reading (esp from Paddy Barclay & Alan Patullo) some glowing & fitting obituaries....as well as our own DFC tributes from Kenny Ross & the rest of our media guys. Having also earned similar status with Spurs, I’d anticipate quite a bit of time being given to this sad occasion, even in the midst of WC fever. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donny O Posted 8 July 2018 Report Share Posted 8 July 2018 A sad day indeed- A club LEGEND and one of my late fathers favourite players!!! From the clips ive seen he looked lethal in the attack!! I hope there will be some sort of permanent tribute as even though he played before my time I grew up knowing too well what contribution this man made to Dundee FC! Condolences to all his family and friends. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parcbara Posted 8 July 2018 Report Share Posted 8 July 2018 Was lucky enough to see him play for Dundee although far too young to remember anything about it. A fabulous player, for us , Spurs (and others) and Scotland. Must be up there as one of, if not the, greatest footballer ever to play for either Dundee club. Would be interesting to know who the fantasists would claim to be up there with him. He continued to be a fantastic ambassador for Dundee Football Club until his sad passing. A true legend. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steven dee Posted 8 July 2018 Report Share Posted 8 July 2018 If there was just one player I could go back in time and see it would be Alan Gilzean. Dundee's greatest ever player imo. Rip Gillie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dandy McLean Posted 8 July 2018 Report Share Posted 8 July 2018 That’s awful news. The title legend is given too freely these days, but he was definitely worthy of it. R.I.P. Gillie. Condolences you your family and friends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue4evr Posted 8 July 2018 Report Share Posted 8 July 2018 A privilege to see him play for us. Also saw him score the only goal v England in a crowd of 133, 000 at Hampden. Hammy, Greig, McNeiil, Baxter, Law and the famous John White, who was killed by lightning aged 27. They had Banks, Norman, Moore, B Charlton etc. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
