Club History

Lochee United Football Club was first established in 1892 as a juvenile outfit and the team spent many of their early years operating as such.

They spent a short period of time as an amateur side just after the last war, before going on to establish themselves as a club in the then Dundee Junior Football Association, later to become the Tayside Region Junior Football Association.

Prior to 1959 the club had not had a permanent home ground and had played at a number of different venues over the years.

However, things changed that year when they moved into their present home at Thomson Park (right), the ground being opened by the then Rangers captain George Young.

Having become established in the top division the "Bluebells" began to bring silverware to Thomson Park regularly from 1960. The late seventies started what proved to be a hugely successful decade for the club culminating in the winning of seventeen honours from 1977 to 1987.

This golden period ended in 1987 and Lochee United suffered the ignominy of relegation in 1993. Despite winning promotion back to the top division at the first attempt the club were not, until recently, in contention for any honours.

In recent years, the Bluebells fortunes have been on the up, and they have once again become one of the leading junior teams, winning the Tayside Premier League quite convincingly, and thus elevating themselves to the newly established Super League.
Lochee United finished 4th in the East Region Superleague in season 03-04.

In season 04-05 success continued with the team reaching the final of the O.V.D. Scottish Cup, and finishing as East Region Superleague Champions.
