Pat Liney told me that Bob Shankly challenged him about drinking in a public house. Pat told me that he confirmed to Bob Shankly that he had been in the public house in question but he had been drinking a glass of lemonade.
Bob Shankly accepted Pat Liney’s explanation and that was the end of the matter.
A free ticket for a home game at Dens Park would be a small price to pay to have a spy in every public house in Dundee and Broughty Ferry.
Assume 100 pubs, 7 days per week and 2 spies per pub to allow for the much longer opening hours these days.

What's it going to cost the club?

Would anyone do that for a £25 ticket to watch Dundee FC? I wouldn't.
