RIP The Mighty Finn

Come on without
Come on within
You'll not see nothing like the Mighty Finn!

This slightly adapted Manfred Mann number has been in my head since hearing of his passing.
It does seem like a fitting epitaph.

So sad to hear of the death of Finn Dossing. I was a ****ager when Jerry Kerr signed him, and I believe Dossing to be the best centre forward United ever had, though as a United supporter from 1960, I can't compare Dossing to earlier forwards.
That United team of 1965, and the 5 - 0 defeat of Dundee heralded the emergence of United coming out of Dundee's shadow. That significant hammering of "the big team in Dundee" gave United the confidence to grow, and Jim McLean then accelerated our growth until Dundee were "the wee team", and they have been for decades.
Finn Dossing's contribution with his goals played a huge part in the growth of United.
Finn Dossing will always be remembered as a United legend.

I was too young to see Dossing play. But my long-passed dad always raved about him and fellow Scandinavian imports Wing and Berg. Definitely a loss of a proud Tangerine. RIP Finn.

I too never had the pleasure but the fella I used to go to the games with did see him and waxed lyrical about his abilities. RIP Finn.

My Dad used to sing a song to me to the tune of King of the road. (mair in a Dundineeze style than the Proclaimers version) First line was " Finn Dossin' numbir nine"

Can't remember anymore of it unfortunately. His second fav player to play for United just after Big Ron obviously

I saw a comment on Fb that I liked.
'Finn Dossing is one of the reasons we are the Club we are now'.

I'm not gloating when I say I was at the Massacre of 65.
Being there was one of the reasons I have tangerine blood coursing thro my veins.
He was a God to me.
And built like a brick sh!thouse.

I got to meet him in 2017 when he was over.
I'd produced a retro shirt of the time with DOSSING 9 on the back & he signed the front, printed in capital letters actually! Lost the pic on a phone transfer
But the shirt is on the wall.

RIP FINN DOSSING NUMBER NINE

Too young to remember Finn, but from what I’ve read about him coupled with some of the stories from the auld man he was some player. His stats weren’t to shabby too. RIP Finn you’ll be remembered along side the legends of the 80s. 🖤🧡
