BOB VALENTINE - REFEREE

A familiar figure in Scottish football in the 70's & 80's was Dundonian ref, Bob Valentine. Along with all his weekly appearances in the top League games, he also took part in major tournaments such as the World Cup in 1978 & 82 and the Euro's in 1984 & 88.
Despite this hectic schedule he was actually a DC Thomson employee and worked in Meadowside casing dept.
The ball he is holding in the picture is signed by Pele!

    Stiil lives in Dundee, must be near the old wallaces pie shop (now Baynes)at the top of Caird Ave, as I see him there quite often.
