When football was all about the game and the crowds, the days before TV and the ridiculous sums of money on offer! A dundee United team that equalled any of the big teams in Europe!
I was at this game......it still goes down as one of the best nights in European football for me and that includes Rotterdam 91 and Barcelona 99! The first leg was 2-2, two fantastic matches.........
I was at this game in the man United end, fantastic atmosphere, always had a soft spot for Dundee United after this game, I must admit dundee United where the better team over the two legs.. I miss these days, proper grounds, real fans and standing..
When Scottish clubs were even expected to go far in European competitions, before all the money and foreign players ruined our game, now even my team Ayr utd beat Dundee United 5-0, loved watching highlights at night involving united and Aberdeen in Europe back then.
Remember listening to it from Ireland as a 10 year old on 5live radio with dodgy reception....midweek... it was gripping stuff and up for grabs right up to the end....a united fan.
I’m a Dundee United support, We had amazing team in the 80’s, should have won more cups, was too young and wasn’t at the game, was only 7 years old but great games and I fell in love with Manchester United after this
@sweeney 1 Because. if anyone makes a challenge to them. as United did a decade or so, Celtic(and at that time Rangers too) would buy any promising talent that would help us challenge on the run in of a season. They did this repeatedly mid season to intentionally destroy the chances of any team that challenged them. It basically became a bought and paid for league for decades.
@Joy Division Three foreigner rule, pre bosman, pre massive television money. No seeding. Straight knock out. Things were so much better then. Football is like everything else these days. Everything goes to the few.
Oh im not sure about that there Bryan Robson although a nice person influential good player was on massive amount at that time and he wasnt even the best player not by a long shot. 1983 Robson was on £10,000 a week at least now that was a lot in 1983 or even getting that wage before 1983.
@@Philliben1991 pending if a player was from republic of ireland man u Arsenal Liverpool Everton all had had 2 or 3 from there. You are right.I believe that it needs to take a turn now..... but it wont.
I was at Old Trafford watching Celtic play Rapid Vienna that night. There were 50,000 of us. The biggest ever travelling support in football until Seville. I remember we booed when we heard Man U had won.
From a Celtic fan who grew up with DUFC, A/Deen and us fighting for the league, Hearts later. It's still in my head that going to Tannadice will be a hard game. That was a great team. McLean was a superb manager. I always thought the Dundee Utd side of the early to mid eighties were a better footballing side than Aberdeen. No disrespect Aberdeen. Both were great teams. And I've been chased by the Utility and the ASC. It'd be great to see you both up there again. But don't kick my head in please.
Remember watching this on Sports night. I loved the Man U kit at the time. Had the home one but would have loved to had the away too... especially the all white. The blue one worn at Sunderland was pretty damn good as well
Jim Mclean what a manager. A true true great - similar to Clough in that he made an ordinary team into almost Euro champs and he won them their only Scotts Prem div in think 82 - 83 season And yes I know Clough did it twice (euro cup)
I remember wishing Robbo well for the 2nd leg when he came to sign some England promotional stuff for a brewery at a nightclub in Hull. He was chuffed that there was at least one genuine United fan there that night and I remember Dundee gave us a helluva game/scare over the two legs. All credit to both teams. This is proper football as it was before the hype and mega bucks ruined it. IMHO, it beats the pants off this modern crap and VAR. Anyone for tiddlywinks before they spoil that too...
I remember this tie. Dundee were unlucky and could’ve won, had the luck ran their way. They contested every ball and the nine goals from the two games represented excellent value from both teams.
Great games: I've just watched both. Love it when Barry Davis praises the massive punt that lands in the MU penalty box. I've just heard this is Guadiolas next tactic.
@@tonygibson1558 Ah yes, wasn't the Dundee United defeat in the 1987 Scottish Cup Final against St Mirren? I think Dundee United lost 1-0 in that Scottish Cup Final
Anyone know what the attendance was at Tannadyce that night? I always liked an away day to Dundee,(rolls n mince yummmm!!) you had to watch for AUF/Utillity at the train station/city centre then hilltoun huns on the way up the hill! good chippy at the flats though. Scottish fitba stadium atmospheres were not the same when all seater grounds started replacing the auld grounds. So glad I got to see most of them before it went to shit. BRING BACK TERRACING!!!
The old Tannadice was a great away day. Terracing was almost vertical under the shed. Few pints in The Plough at the top of the road. A mince roll or two and toddle off to the ground. The football specials were great. Get yer macaroon bars!
I was there. Great atmosphere. The difference between the teams was that every Man U player was very good, but United had some weak links. Mind you, it was when United could compete with the best in Europe,courtesy of Jim McLean.
Dundee United the only team in Britain to beat Barcelone home and away, Liverpool the only English club to have won in the Nou Camp and twice aswell, but not beat them at Anfield.
Emilianchic It was a 3rd round tie,or last 16. Back in the days when the UEFA Cup was a straight forward 2 legged knock out system for each round, including the final
this was the man utd team which got me interested in football. check out that move between robson, stapleton, strachan and finished by hughes. atkinson had a excellent team to watch, they maybe lacked a little in height & he should have spent more on his defence instead of all those strikers. and robson should have worn some sort of shoulder strap. then sparky was sold and big ron got the heave, alex f came in and had to rip out virtually the entire team except robbo and brought back hughes. then as soon as cantona came in, that was the icing on the cake, i knew they'd win the league after that.
Maybe because it was.Do you not realise that dundee utd were a top european team back then?They were cheated out of the european cup final by roma in 1984,and reached the UEFA cup final in 1987,knocking barcelona out in their own back yard.Learn your history before trying to be smart.
I distinctly remember Gary McAllister scoring a penalty to beat Barca 1-0 at Anfield in 2001. However, Liverpool have only ever won once at the Nou camp. I love the way people come on and spout the biggest load of shite ever!
I thought that Liverpool have won twice at the Nou Camp Stadium. The first time was in 1976 UEFA Cup Semi Final 2nd leg. The most recent win was in the 2007 Last 16 1st leg,which finished 2-1 to Liverpool
We had some great players in these days. Too heavily reliant on Captain Marvel. Basically, we were fairly sh*t due to sh*t managers in Sexton and then the charlatan that was Big Ron. Loved the Doc though.
I wasn't being smart, I was making an observation, and it was more a comment on the attitudes of Man United's fans at the time. A bit touchy, aren't you? I know all about Dundee United's pedigree. I'm a football fan from the west of Scotland, and I've been to thousands of games in my time. You need to wind your neck in, mate. Just because DUFC are rank rotten now, don't take it out on me....
Spent the day in the bees nees club in Dundee-chicken in a basket downstairs and porn videos upstairs.The lad who went on the pitch did time for that...good United turnout,if we played Dundee United thses days I doubt many Reds like myself who were there in 84 would get a sniff of a ticket...

Amazing to think it was 5-4 on aggregate and Dundee United were genuine contenders back then.

I love it how the only thing separating the fans is a few coppers patrolling the terraces in a line. Hilarious.

Two years after this match, Dundee United reached the 1987 UEFA Cup Final, losing 1-2 on aggregate against Swedish team, IFK Gothenburg.
8 months prior to this match they were a game away from the european cup final!!
@@greenlichtie1570 That's right, they led Roma 2-0 after the 1st leg at Tannadice, only to be victims of corrupt officiating in the 2nd leg in Rome

Tough on United, they had a class outfit back then and were unlucky to lose to Manchester.
And that’s from a Dundee fan.
ET was some player with Dundee United. In fact, he was out of this world.
how do you post this stuff on youtube please tell me mate
Today would be impossible that players like Narey, Dodds, Malpas or Sturrock spend the entire career at Dundee United....
I was there. Great atmosphere. The difference between the teams was that every Man U player was very good, but United had some weak links. Mind you, it was when United could compete with the best in Europe,courtesy of Jim McLean.
In my minds eye after all these years i allways thought Muhren scored the winner, But McQueen can rightly have a claim on it.
+mcbrando It's always been credited to Arnie.
Dundee United the only team in Britain to beat Barcelone home and away, Liverpool the only English club to have won in the Nou Camp and twice aswell, but not beat them at Anfield.
To be fair, Liverpool have won 9 european trophies.......
Well Liverpool managed to correct that statistic during the 2019 Champions League Semi Final 2nd leg at Anfield, with a 4-0 demolition of Barcelona
Dundee United actually managed to beat Barcelona home and away twice. They did so in the 60s too.
1st goal - now THAT was a David Narey toe poke, Jimmy Hill
Fitting result. Dundee utd were game, but man united should have scored at least seven in the first half of the old Trafford tie
Sigh.....Scottish fitba used tae be gid!!
By the look of the United fans' celebrations, they must've thought beating Dundee United was some feat!
You had to be there.
It was a UEFA Cup match and NOT a Cup Winners Cup match
THANK YOU. Excellent memories. Sad that those days are gone and that Scottish football now stinks!
Wonder what the score would be if they played each other now
At the immediate moment (Sept 24 2018) with Man Utd currently pish, who knows.
