Why Dundee United Means Fool or Idiot in Nigeria - Now You Know Ep01

This is the story of how Dundee United became a slang for fool or an idiot in Nigeria.
It was in 1972 when Dundee United visited Nigeria for their pre season tour and had a disastrous run of games; playing 5 games and only winning one. At this time Nigeria premier league just started, and it was a period when Europeans dominated football around the word, with no african team yet winning a game at the World Cup and Nigeria never won a World Cup.
Dundee United lost 4-1 to stationary stores and also lost 2-0 to Enugu Rangers. The game was marketed then as a top team from Europe coming to play the local team with local players so you can imagine the shock of the fans when the so called top team playing woefully in Nigeria. Over time when someone does something weird or behaves like a fool, the person is referred to as a Dundee or Dundee United.
