A Dundee miracle - 58 years since Bob Shankly s Dark Blues roared to the European Cup semi-final

© Staff On this day 58 years ago there were 40,000 spectators squeezed inside Dens Park as Bob Shankly’s Dundee booked their place in the European Cup semi-finals. The opponents were an Anderlecht side who had already seen off the mighty Real Madrid but had been humbled at Heisel by a rampant Dark Blues. Real had been in six of seven finals to that point, winning five, and still boasted the likes of Alfredo Di Stefano and Ferenc Puskas. Beating them had elevated the Belgians to the status of favourites for the entire competition. However, goals from Alan Gilzean (2), Alan Cousin and Andy Penman saw the Anderlecht crowd applaud Dundee from the pitch in the first leg.
