DENNIS GILLESPIE REMEMBERED

28th July 2001

There will be a minute's silence prior to this afternoon's kick off to honour the memory of Dundee United legend Dennis Gillespie who passed away on Monday 4 June, aged 65.

Inside forward Dennis was the first-ever United player to receive international recognition when he was capped by the Scottish League in 1961 against the League of Ireland and for twelve years was a key player in manager Jerry Kerr's teams of the late Fifties and early Sixties as United steadily rose to national and continental prominence.
