Jack makes his name at Dens Park

Jack Cargill starred at Dens Park as it held its first civil naming ceremony on Saturday.

The ceremony, which allows parents to formally give their baby or child its forenames, was held at the venue where the 11-week-old already holds a season ticket.

Born into a great footballing family, little Jack seems destined to become a Dundee FC fan, according to mother Danielle Harvey.

“He doesn’t seem to have a choice,” she said. “His great-great-grandfather was Jock Gilmore, who played for Dundee and Scotland in the early 1900s, I think.

“Then his great-grandfather was Jack Gilmore, who played for Watford, and the way he kicks I’m sure Jack will be a footballer too!”

Though Jack was only born on May 3, he already holds a season ticket for Dundee.

Danielle said: “His dad Mark Cargill has one and Jack actually got his first season ticket when he was only a week old.

“He’s now on his second one as it’s had to be updated.”

Danielle and Mark were joined by about 70 friends and family members for Jack’s special day.

Danielle said: “Mark is mad about Dundee FC and I was excited because it’s something different to have it at Dens. It’s a big part of the family’s life.”

After the ceremony, the family held a special function in the Penman lounge with entertainment for the children including balloon modelling and face painting.

While Jack’s was the first civil naming ceremony to be held at Dens, they can be held at any venue within Dundee registration district.

This includes all hotels and restaurants in and around the city, many council buildings, landmarks including RRS Discovery and Frigate Unicorn and all public parks.

Early years practitioner Danielle, 24, said: “Jack is our first and it’s just amazing, I absolutely love it.”

Mark and his step-dad are both huge Dundee fans.

They were back at Dens Park yesterday after Jack’s special naming ceremony for the Dark Blues’ pre-season friendly with St Johnstone.
