[Dondeh]

My hero from Barnes Ave. Dee to the core.

John Duncan was in 5th year at the Morgan when I was in first year.

Fans talk of Legends too loosely now - he was and is.

For me, ranks up there with Gilzean.

It's been said before. There are legends and then there are Legends. Absolute top drawer.

[Billy Campbell's Ghost]

Met him in a hotel the day Chesterfield were playing West Ham in a League Cup match (we were at a business conference).....talked to me and my fellow Dee, offered us a pint and then once we had a few me and mate gate crashed his pre-match meeting with his directors (I know...I know....) to tell them what a legend he was...hat trick v Koln, Milan, etc, etc.   The directors were great to us too and well impressed at the respect we had for Johnny D.

When John was at Dundee he was also training to be a P E teacher. We used to get him at the Logie and he was great with all of us and always interested in what we were up to. d

Got a braw "selfie" with John and a mate at the end of the evening and mentioned about when he took PE at Macalpine Primary, he remembered it well, yep, Legend

He was the second best header of a ball I've seen. Gillie being the best.

My old man started going to Dens around 1962 and has always said that John Duncan was his favourite player.

That team of the early 70s should have won more than the one League Cup by all accounts. Some forward line.

Aye your right, we should have won more, but we always got Celtic in the semi's ! Apart from winning the LC in '73, the SC in 74 run was something else.
