The Fun Curse remains to this day

"After Dundee won the cup in 1910, a crowd of around 20,000 greeted the victorious team when they arrived back in the early hours of the morning.

The cup winning team boarded a horse drawn carriage at Dock Street and into Union Street and by this time, the Dundee fans had taken over the duty of the horses and the precision carried on towards Dens. However, the weight on the fans broke the carriage’s back axel and the Dundee players ran the rest of the way to Dens Park with a police escort.

Now, Dundee folklore has it that the Scottish Cup was displayed in the window of a premises which belonged to a Dundee Director, who just happened to be an undertaker.

The story goes that a Dundee ‘speywife’ was so outraged and incensed by what she perceived as a bit of bad taste, she proceded to put a curse on the team stating that from that day onwards Dundee FC would never lay their hands on the silverware again"

And so it remains 🧡
