Arabzone’s Andy Boyd wonders if BwB, or any of the readers, can help with information surrounding a photo?
“I came across the booklet — World Soccer Digest, 1962-63 — containing this Dundee FC photo (see top),” said Andy.
“I assume it must be a pre-season friendly (from 1961) due to there being two goalkeepers and more than one substitute.
“Did goalkeeper Sandy Davie play any game time for Dundee FC?
“I can only assume that any appearance would have been as a trialist as he is credited with joining Dundee United from Butterburn Youth Club in August 1961.
“Is he a Robert Wilson in reverse?
“Robert played as trialist for Dundee United before joining Dundee FC two days later.”
I’ve a feeling I touched on this subject before and that Sandy was a trialist for Dundee when that photo was taken.
It was when Dundee played a public trial game — a yearly occurrence at the time — usually the first team against the reserves and trialists.
I don’t know the exact reason why Sandy was in the first-team photo.
However, United were the ones who secured his signature a few days later.
