Dundee were the punch-drunk underdogs when they chased European Cup
glory after winning the league in 1962. AC Milan, Benfica and Real
Madrid were at the peak of their powers and Ipswich would represent
England after winning the league under Alf Ramsey. Dundee were
about to enter a new world of glamour. Expectations were so low
that just ten Dundee fans put their names forward for a special
flight to mark the club's first venture into the unknown. The Dark
Blues were up for the fight though, and destroyed Cologne 8-1 in a
blitzkrieg at Dens Park that left the German Embassy reeling. In
the week they shared the same bill as boxing legends Sonny Liston
and Sugar Ray Robinson, the British Army rescued Dundee from a mass
riot with as many punches thrown in the return leg. As this
remarkable Cinderella story unfolded, fans of city rivals Dundee
United were soon hitch-hiking across the continent to watch Dundee
as they came close to conquering Europe, before it all ended in
brawls, bribes and broken dreams.
