Description

Dundee were the punch-drunk underdogs when they chased European Cup glory after winning the league in 1962. Expectations were so low that just ten fans put their names forward for a special flight to mark the club's first venture into the unknown. But the side went on a run to near-immortality before it ended in brawls, bribes and broken dreams.
