Gilzean has brain tumour

Alan Gilzean, one of Scotland’s finest ever players, has been diagnosed with a brain tumour.

Gilzean, 79, was part of Dundee’s celebrated side which won the league in 1961-62 and reached the European Cup semi-finals the following season. He then had a highly successful career with Tottenham.

A Dundee spokesman said: “The thoughts of everyone at Dundee Football Club are with Alan Gilzean and his family after the club legend was recently diagnosed with a brain tumour.”
