‘Tommy The Arab’ remembers Dundee United winning 7-0 against a team in the 1960s, with the Tannadice side’s Scandinavian players scoring all the goals.
“I’m sure Finn Dossing, Orjan Persson and the other Scandinavians shared the goals between them,” said Tommy, who also said he was from Downfield.
“The reason I remember this so well was that another Scottish team also won 7-0 that day.
“I’m sure it was Hibs but can’t remember the opposition.
“However, I also think Colin Stein scored at least three in that game prior to being sold to Rangers.”
First to United, and they beat Ayr United 7-0 at home on September 24, 1966.
Dossing and Persson each scored doubles, but Lennart Wing, the only other Scandinavian in the team that day, did not score.
Ian Mitchell notched a brace with the final counter an own goal by Eddie Monan.
Colin Stein was, indeed, on the mark for Hibs in their 7-0 trouncing of Partick Thistle at Easter Road that afternoon.
Stein, too, only recorded a brace.
Hibs’ other goal against the Jags came from Scott (2), Cormack (2) and Stevenson.
