Delighted to say that the latest Utd cult Hero to join us for a 1 hour Q+A will be Freddy Van Der Hoorn.

He will be online to answer our questions on Friday night which will nicely fill the void left by a World Cup free night of fitba.👍

that is incredible

Well done Tek, and Freddy too. Unfortunately, cannae make it, so here are questions regarding the 1991 Cup Final, if it's okay.

Freddy: David Syme, was he an honest referee in the Final?

Hitting the post, and the ball going out for a bye kick on the opposite side of the goal: how did that happen, and have you ever seen it before or since?

I have a very vague recollection of you scoring a either free kick or a long range shot, I think against either St Mirren or Dunfermline. To my 8 year old self in the Fairplay stand it was a screamer. I was a Freddy fan after that.

Thanks for the memories!!

Maybe someone can confirm if I have remembered this correctly.

Hi freddy my first question to you is who was the best player you played beside in your years at dundee united

motherwellarab · 29/6/2018 7:58 pm

Who was your most difficult opponent in your years at club?

Hoorn · 29/6/2018 7:59 pm

@PatReilly

Yes that referee was not the best off all, in the end even at the beginning it wasn’t our day, no luck offside goal hamish French , my free kick , the goal against I thought the 3 was a free kick on our goalie , in the end of the day we didn’t deserve it because losing four goals is far to many in a final !!
Got even red carded afterwards so must be a bad referee

@PatReilly

To hit the post was , still sometimes when you watch finals or important matches on my mind , as written earlier unbelievable we didn’t win , nothing to do with fear or bottle or this or that just NOT our day ,

That ref was not the best in the world , he even red carded me and I think mcinally and bowman , crazy we were the most kindness players when we got beat, the offside goal from hamish French in the beginning was wrong also I guess.and the goal when they made a free kick on our goalie was...
Anyway to lose 4goals isn’t good either , not our day ,but not because of fear or bottle , mainly unlucky not good enough on the day, I believe we beat them 4 times in the league , but our name was not written on it.

Unbelievable , that means unlucky , they had an angel on the post I guess , it was all written down for them

motherwellarab · 29/6/2018 8:05 pm

How did Jim McLean’s style of management compare with anything you’d had on the continent?

At Dundee United , maybe hateley he was strong in the air and I liked more playing on the grass than in the air

Tek · 29/6/2018 8:12 pm

Freddy am I correct in saying that you played for a Scottish Premier League Select side that played and defeated Scotland 1-0 at Hampden?

Wee Jim was the Scottish League XI Gaffer if I recall correctly?

Good memories of that match?

motherwellarab · 29/6/2018 8:12 pm

Just in general I liked it , i was always in the team apart from my last season , hardly missed a game so I thought it was good for both parties , to go with your family abroad means you even get closer to each other and we liked the way of living etc , so overall good memories ,
Every year we reached Europe place final semi final etc etc , so good

Big Dunc was a young lad but knew that he was good and was a good and funny guy also, I thought most of the guys where quite good professionals and if not there was always wee Jim.
John o neill was a nice character and good player , they called him dell boy I remember
