That is sad news. He was probably the first goalie I can really remember for us, along with Ally Hunter. Rest in peace Denis.

Just remembered and my memory is not what it used to be , a game at Broomfield against Airdrie in 73 or 74 ? When Dennis after collecting a passback picked the ball up and went to launch it with an over arm throw and threw the ball into his own net .
As I said with my memory. It could have been another keeper altogether.

He certainly did!

RIP. I grew up down south, so it was about that time I started to go to games regularly as we'd moved back up.

Think Peter Latchford was the main goalie around that time.

Imagine if Joe Hart did that today, then again I'm sure there are plenty YouTube videos of keepers doing the same.
