baggy89 Posted October 20, 2009 Report Posted October 20, 2009 Has Duns got the highest number of authors per head of population in the UK? Quote

dave_min Posted December 7, 2009 Report Posted December 7, 2009 I remember that game, it was a belter. It really was! Buckleys hat-trick really rounded off a great afternoon for all 700 of us who made the trip down to Duns. I was really gutted though, I had Wishart on as first scorer! Just typical, eh? Quote

dave_min Posted December 7, 2009 Report Posted December 7, 2009 "Spare a thought for plucky Duns FC as they crash 15-3 to Aberdeen Athletic Academicals" I must have missed that game. I was at our 8-0 win in early February 1954. What a cup run that was, beating the Huns 6-0 in the semi-final infront of 110,939 fans down at that neutral venue was the highlight for me. A close second was the 3-0 home win against the Jambos infront of our record 45,061 crowd. I'm still a little gutted that we lost the final 2-1 to Celtic though infront of that 130,000 crowd at Hampden. Quote
