When Crocodile Dundee married that cute woman from the first movie, was that "Dundee United?"
The irony of this team name is that it isn't. Dundee is quite divided, and the bitter rivals play just 300 yards down the road. Bitter because United are the bigger team by any stretch of the imagination.
First-Hand Experience: I've seen DUFC play 3 times at home, and several times away, and I absolutely love them. They're my favourite team in Scotland (alongside Celtic) and they have shiny orange kits like the 1970s Holland teams did. I'm positively in love with the way they play in their swashbuckling side, backed by the Tannadice Roar. It's a crime that this stadium only has one review... maybe Yelp is not so big in Dundee.
If you ever go up to Scotland and you like football, do what I did. Take a chance, go in the wind and the rain and sit at Tannadice and be amazed by the crowd and the team and the spirit of this city and club. I love this team a lot! Can't wait to go and watch them again.
They play to 14k people, more than DFC, and they have a much sexier kit (orange). They are known as the Tangerines, or Terrors, or the Arabs - the supporters anyway. Not sure why. They play at Tannadice which means every time I hear Coldplay or Phil Collins singing about Another Day In Paradise, etc... I sing "Another Day In Tannadice."
Ironically Celtic Park is nicknamed Paradise.
They were originally Dundee Hibernian and they are the Irish (Catholic) half of Dundee. They were formed in 1909.
Like DFC, they have only won the Scottish Premier once, and that was quite recently, in 1983, right around the time that Aberdeen were dominating. They've won the Scottish Cup twice recently, in 1994 and 2010. They won the Scottish League Cup in 1980 and 1981. They've been Scottish Cup runners up 5 times including 2005 and 2014. They were amazingly UEFA Cup runners up in 1987 and European Cup Semi Finalists in 1984. So a very storied history for this beautiful orange club. read more
