16th Nov 1966 at a jam packed Tannadice, goals from Ian Mitchell and Billy Hainey followed up a remarkable first leg result in the Nou Camp as United once again humbled the Catalan giants. What made this result all the more remarkable was that this occurred some five years before Jim McLean took over and indeed some thir**** years before 1979 when the history of Dundee United commenced, according to your average Funster.
Who’d have thunk it?
