Tributes for Dundee legend
Alan Cousin passes away aged 78.
Tributes are being paid to Dundee legend Alan Cousin, who's died at the age of 78.
He was a member of the Dark Blues side that won the Scottish League title in 1962, before going on to reach the last 4 of the European Cup.
The Dundee FC website says Cousin was a vital cog not just in the side which brought the title to Dens Park but throughout his eleven years at the club, finishing as top scorer on three separate occasions.
Sporting mainly the number nine shirt, the lanky striker proved the perfect foil for fellow front man Alan Gilzean and between them proved to be a very effective partnership that shot Dundee not only to the League Flag but also to the European Cup semis and Scottish Cup Final in subsequent years.
The thoughts of everyone at Dundee Football Club are with Alan’s family and friends and the team will wear black armbands at Inverness on Saturday as a mark of respect for the sad loss of a true Dundee great.
