Dundee United 1969-1972 Retro Football Shirt

Product details

Dundee United 1969-72. Walter Smith (pictured) signed as a defender with Dundee United in 1966, joining as a part-timer while working as an electrician. He was a decent player rather than a gifted one. In September 1975 he moved to Dumbarton, but returned to United in 1977. At the age of 29, a pelvic injury threatened his career and he was invited to join the Dundee United coaching staff by Jim McLean. His first team appearances were limited thereafter, but he remained a signed player and his final club match was in September 1980. In total, he made over 250 senior appearances, scoring three goals. This shirt is long sleeved and made from knitted cotton. Please allow up to 6 weeks for the delivery of our retro shirts.
