Thread: Who was the player...

Who scored twice against Hearts for Dundee, whilst we beat St Mirren 5-0 (I think) to win the title? I think it was in the late 80s.

I've completely forgotten the guy's name. Any help?

Albert Kidd.

That's the one, cheers.

Albert Kidd, check out the song on him by CATB, its class.

Love Street 86!

Hammered St Mirren 5-0 in that infamous lime green kit.

Mo Johnstone and Brian McClair scored a couple that day… I think Tommy Burns also got one.

T’was a Saturday in May 1986 the day that the nightmare began
We were odds on to win the League and Celtic were 6/1
Auld Reekie was buzzing and the tickets were scarce as champions elect we would be
We had a few drinks, and sang a few songs, then headed off to play Dundee.

Twelve o’clock noon and the buses arrived in a fleet of a thousand or more
We promised our friends we would bring back the League, not knowing what lay in store
As our bus made its way up Gorgie Road, our new song we sang it with pride
One o’clock came and the last bus pulled out, t’was the day our lovely team died.

The scarves and banners they crack in the wind, as we tear up the A85
We felt so excited we just had to win, it felt good just being alive
Our buses we left in Tannadice St, as we all crammed into the ground
Three o’clock came and the whistle was blown, Dens Park was a great wall of sound.

The Jam Tarts attacked and we hit the post a young lad beside us he faints
Half time came soon and the score line was blank, but Celtic put four past the Saints
Oh surely to God we’ll keep Dundee out and brother just think if we did
We’d be the champions for the first time in years, but then up stepped Albert Kidd.

Kidd scored again and so did the Celts, and we held our heads in despair
No one believed that we’d lost the League, with just seven minutes to spare
Some of our players fled in dismay, and looked for a good place to hide
We stood around, helpless confused, the day our lovely team died.

A visit to Dens is so eerie today, our can sorrow can know no relief
The nightmare you caused is still with us today from Tynecastle right down to Leith
The souvenirs gathered we all left behind, our programs and tickets are gone
The air speaks a deafening silence, but the name Albert Kidd lingers on

sends shivers down my spine watching the love st game.

Aye 3IAR was magic.

Where you at Tannadice that night mate ? I wasn't but it was still epic nonetheless. Would have been magic being there though.

Ryan just watched that and its class, advice people to have a look. The Saints keeper almost shits himself when the crowd just go nuts.

Nah he was a big Celtic fan according to Tosh McKinlay, who was at Dundee with him.

The 'wtf' the look on the 'keeper's face is priceless.

I didn’t get to Tannadice unfortunately mate but was watching it in the house…

I remember the crowd starting to cheer randomly mid way through the second half and we just knew that Aberdeen had scored… Setenta showed us the wee clip of the Dons goal in the corner of the screen to confirm it! Everyone was going mental!

Once big Jan netted the winner, we knew it was coming home. Amazing feeling.

To top it off there was more random cheering and we then knew Aberdeen had scored their second!

Very emotional night.

God Bless Tommy Burns
