Ah right that Billy Pirie, ok gotcha.

He was a great goalscorer for Dundee ...although you already know that...much the same as Shankland the vast majority of his goals were in the lower league but will always be remembered...much the same as Shankland will go down in United history as the man who fired you back to the SPL after
the 4 year jolly we sent you on...but that'll be as good as it gets for him...as you always like to say FACT

Fact is Peter he's a striker you guys can only dream of having in your team, aye he fired us back to the big league, who's gonna fire you lot up, thats what i would be more concerned about if i were you, not what LS is doing for Dundee United.

I'm really not sure... wasn't many
he went to Australia during our first season back...his overall total I doubt will ever be bettered 93 goals in 112 league games...we live in hope

He’s now got 5 and it’s February, quality effort, missed 2 one on ones with keeper , the moose definitely had a better record in the top league
, said it before you have a poor mans Billy Pirie

As Peter never got back to me i had to go and find out about Billy Pirie myself.In his only season for Dundee in the top flight he scored 6 goals.He left for Australia after being told by the Dundee manager Tommy gemmell that he would only be played in home games due to the survival tactics being employed away from home.
Billy was sunning himself down under when the Dees returned to their old stomping ground Scottish Division one.He was also on a lounger in Australia when his former team mates lost a home cup final 0-3 in 1980.

Not saying that's not true but sure he started picking up a lot of injuries

We are both right Peter,he was injured at the start of the SPL,but he did go down under the following March because he was told he would not be used in away games.
He played 12 games in the SPL and scored 6 goals so still 1 in 2 in the top league, good going to be fair.
