Blether with Brown: Four cups for Bobby Glennie’s team then enter wee Paynie

Legendary Dundee FC captain Bobby Glennie handed me this photo of the St Mary’s Lochee Primary School football team.

“It’s from around 1966 and was given to me recently by Kenny Brown,” said Bobby, who is a host on match days at the hospitality lounges at Dens Park.

“We had a great season that year and won four trophies.

“They are on display in the photo and are the league shield, Rock Cup, Thomson Cup and Meikleham Cup.”

Bobby was able to give all the names in the photo apart from the two gentlemen in the middle of the back row.

He continued: “The other guys are teachers Mr McEwan and Mr Linton.

“The school trophy called the Linton Cup is named after him.”

Bobby concluded: “We were knocked off our lofty perch the following season, though.

“We came up against a Gillburn side which had wee Paynie (Graeme Payne) in it. The wee man scored all five in a 5-0 victory for them.”
