Timeline

1938

Alan John Gilzean (22 October 1938 – 8 July 2018) was a Scottish professional footballer, active from 1955 to 1975.

A striker, Gilzean played most prominently for Dundee and Tottenham Hotspur, and also appeared in 22 international games for Scotland.

1956

Gilzean began his career with local side Coupar Angus Juniors, before signing provisional forms with Dundee in January 1956 as a 17-year-old amateur.

He played once for their youth team Dundee Violet, but then played again for Coupar Angus while working as a despatch clerk for a carpet manufacturer in Perth.

1957

He signed professional forms with Dundee in February 1957, but then had a spell in Hampshire while he underwent National Service in the Royal Army Service Corps.

1959

Gilzean made his competitive debut for Dundee in August 1959, and then became a key part of a successful side.

1961

He helped Dundee win the Scottish league championship in 1961–62 and Tottenham win the FA Cup in 1967, two League Cups (1971 and 1973) and the 1971–72 UEFA Cup

He scored 169 goals in 190 appearances for Dundee in the Scottish top flight as Dundee won the Scottish league championship in 1961–62 and reached the semi-finals of the 1962–63 European Cup.

1963

Gilzean made his debut for Scotland in November 1963, in a 6–1 win against Norway.

He had previously represented his country at Under-23 level and the Scottish League XI.

He received four more international caps in the following twelve months while playing for Dundee.

In total he scored 12 goals in 22 full international appearances for Scotland, between November 1963 and April 1971.

1964

Gilzean joined Tottenham Hotspur in December 1964, moving for a transfer fee of £72,500.

He made his first appearance for Tottenham a week later, in a home fixture against Everton.

Gilzean enjoyed a glittering career as a Tottenham player, while he also changed his style of play from being the main goalscorer to being an intelligent and creative forward.

He formed an effective goal-scoring partnership alongside crowd favourite Jimmy Greaves, and together they were referred to by fans as the "G-Men".

He also scored twice for a Scotland Select XI against Tottenham Hotspur in a November 1964 memorial match for Tottenham and Scotland player John White, who had died in tragic circumstances earlier that year.

Gilzean represented Scotland seventeen times during his Spurs career.

1966

A notable match he was involved in was the 4th round FA Cup in 1966 match against Burnley when he scored a hat-trick, and won the game 4–3 with a late goal.

1967

He was a member of the 1967 FA Cup Final winning team.

1968

Gilzean continued to be a regular first-team player after the arrival of Martin Chivers in early 1968 from Southampton.

1970

After strike-partner Greaves moved to West Ham United in March 1970, Gilzean and Chivers formed a new and equally successful goalscoring partnership.

1971

This contributed greatly to Tottenham's cup triumphs in the first half of the decade, winning the League Cup in 1971, an all-English 1972 UEFA Cup Final against Wolverhampton Wanderers, and a second League Cup victory in 1973.

He earned the moniker "The King of White Hart Lane" while at Spurs.

1974

Following his retirement from Tottenham, Gilzean played in South Africa for three months with Highlands Park.

1975

Gilzean returned to England after his spell in South Africa, to become manager of Stevenage Athletic who he managed for one season from 1975 to 1976.
