A is for Ancell. After two spells as a player, Bobby Ancell returned to Dens as manager in 1965 to replace the legendary Bob Shankly. Ancell took Dundee to Hampden to face reigning European champions Celtic, where the Dee lost an epic game 5-3. The following season, Dundee reached the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup semi-final and narrowly lost to Don Revie's famous Leeds side over two legs. Shortly after, Ancell stepped down, having spent three years in the post. His highest league finish was sixth.
