First Game

Definitely at Tannadice, in the late 60's, but I was only 6 or 7, so probably spent more time playing on the terracing than watching the actual game.

Best Game

1979 League Cup Final, 3-0 v Aberdeen at Dens Park to win our first major trophy. Then doing it the following year, 3-0 v Dundee again at their ground.

Worst Game

Every one of the many Cup Final's we have lost.

It is an iconic, old style stadium, with high stands in a huge bowl shape. The fans are able to generate a sensational atmosphere.

I have never seen so many view obstructing pillars in all parts of the ground, which seems to be made up of about ten different shapes and sizes of stands. I also could not get in bar at half time, due to some 'unhelpful' stewarding.
