Guido van de Kamp joins Dundee United fan party in Alkmaar – and predicts Tangerines Euro triumph

Scottish Cup winning hero Guido van de Kamp is partying with Dundee United fans in Alkmaar.

The Dutch ex-goalkeeper was part of the Tangerines side that won the Cup at Hampden in 1994, ending a decades-long so-called hoodoo.

It is the top moment of the former stopper’s career – and he has never forgotten his ties with the City of Discovery.

Now he is set to join United fans in the away end as the Tangerines face Eredivisie outfit AZ Alkmaar in the Netherlands on Thursday.

And he believes his old club’s 1-0 lead from the first leg at Tannadice, could be enough to see them though to the play-offs.

Van de Kamp – who will be at the match as a guest of the Dundee United Supporters’ Foundation (DUSF) – said: “[United fans] supported me when I was there in the cup final with United, so it’s good to be back and be a part of it with them to support the team [in Alkmaar].

“Talking about the cup never gets old.

“People still ask me what was my best game and it’s absolutely brilliant to keep remembering it.

“It was the first final United won after so many years and to be part of that team was absolutely magnificent.”

Asked whether he felt the current crop could be on their way to notching an achievement of their own in Europe, he said: “They already achieved something by winning the first game.

“I’ve watched them a couple of times and they can play really good football. That’s what they have to do tonight as well as give it 100%.

“After the game, the Alkmaar players and manger were surprised they can play football. They thought it was going to be an easy game.

“Hopefully tonight, it isn’t again.”
