It wasn't only Dundee United and Dundee Rockets doing the biz in the early/mid 80's. One of the lesser known local sports teams also on a winning streak back then were the Menzieshill Ladies Water Polo team, who in 1984 were crowned British Champions. In fact throughout most of the 80's they pretty much dominated the Scottish water polo scene.Unfortunately, I have no names to go with this photo of the squad with their '84 trophy, so if anyone can supply the details, feel free to drop the info in the comments.
The lassie, bottom right, looks fairly familiar to me. Just wondering if she went to Slickers & Da Vinci's around that era?
I think the coach is Frank Jordan.

ReplyDeleteDebbie - The picture appears in a Dundee Official Guide book from the 80's in a section about our local sporting achievements.
ReplyDeleteThe same year (1984) Menzieshill Hockey Club won the Scottish Indoor Championship trophy. No photo of them though!! GG
