    Asides from the obvious ones, the game I would love to re-live would have to be the 5-1 Scottish Cup massacre of the Funny Lot in 1980 with four goal Wullie P and all that. That was the night that the Baton Of Superiority was (if not already) passed from one side of the divide to the other. And it’s remained Tangerine ever since.
    The Baton of Superiority was indeed passed earlier James, 15 years earlier.
    The Dens Park Massacre of '65 was the turn of the tide.

A glorious rapier of a run from the halfway mark leaving the opposition in his wake. Final score 5-0 (5-2 agg) & it could have been more. Glory Days indeed & sadly unlikely to ever be seen again. Thanks for the memory United & especially the mighty Mr. Bannon.
    Goosebumps just thinking about that game all these years later and the packed crowd singing as one... 'What a team, what a team, what a team'!!

    Have to agree sir, this is the greatest home performance from a United team at Tannadice I’ve ever had the privilege to witness.
    I was a seven**** year old spotty **** at the time who was totally gobsmacked by United’s display that night
    Bannon’s goal was a thing of beauty
    Your were able to swap ends in those days so had a great view of all 5 goals
    What a night

    Was lucky enough to witness all these home games in europe. Think it was this game that bobby Robson who was manager of Ipswich at the time i think? sent wee jim a letter congratulating him and his team for such an impressive result against a team that his players “couldnt spell their name never mind beat them 5-0.”Class comment from a very respected football man.

    I did enjoy gong to Ibrox to play in the semifinal of the cup against the newly formed team "The Rangers".
    The SFA decided the neutral venue for this match would be Ibrox.
    Ciftci celebrated the third goal before he scored - sweet.

    When Foster broke up one move and passed back to Simonsen, the goalkeeper hesitated before stubbing the ball straight at Ciftci. The striker rounded the stricken goalkeeper and was celebrating even before he rolled the ball into the empty net.

    We sang "you're not Rangers any more" which apparently hit a nerve.
    Making zombi gestures seemed to hit home the message.

    The R. 1 Dundee U. 3
