At Tannadice he took up the post in July 1959 and within a year he had led the Club from the depths of the Second Division to promotion into the top flight. He remained in charge for twelve years, during which time he transformed United into not only an established First Division side, but also a team who could take on the likes of Barcelona and Juventus as the club qualified for Europe for the first time in its history. He made such an impression on Tayside that later in life a stand at Tannadice was named after him.
