Set up by Willie Hamilton. My first "away" game. 1 hour ago, Maroon Sailor said: Alan Gordon played for Hearts, Hibs, Dundee Utd and Dundee - not many can say that. Scored a few goals in his career (prolific) so why did Hearts sell him ? The trouble with Alan was his brains were all in his heid. (Eddie Turnbull??)
