Gordon Wallace is well-known for his time at Dens Park.
Spanning a number of decades, he was a player, coach and manager.
However, it is not his Dundee FC exploits that interests one reader.
Jim Howieson, of St Andrews, said: “My dad supported Montrose and he used to rattle off statistics about them.
“I’m sure he said striker Gordon Wallace scored four goals in one game on three occasions in one season.
“Do you have the details of that feat.”
He did, indeed, net four on three occasions but it was over three seasons. However, looking at it another way, they came in a 17-month spell.
His first quadruple strike for the Gable Endies came against visiting Hamilton on April 20, 1963, with three of the strikes coming from the penalty spot.
September 14 of the same year saw his next four-goal haul, this time against Arbroath at Gayfield.
He repeated the feat against Alloa Athletic at Links Park on September 23, 1964.
* LONG before freedom of movement came into being, a prominent Dundee United striker left Tannadice for Liverpool but the Terrors didn’t get the transfer fee. Bob Hynie, of Newport, asked for the details of the move.
Arthur Milne was transferred to Liverpool in 1937 but the Anfield side changed their mind and cancelled his registration.
However, they failed to re-transfer him to United before doing so and this made him — under rules at the time — a free agent. Hibs manager Willie McCartney was alerted to this and nipped in to sign him.
United protested through the SFA to the Football Association but were awarded just a paltry £750 as compensation.
They had previously turned down a £3,000 offer from Chelsea.
