BOWMAN BACK AS PART-TIME COACH

19th October 2000

Dundee United legend Dave Bowman is to return to his old Club to help coach the Tangerines' promising youngsters. Bowman, currently playing with Forfar, has accepted a part-time position back at United where he will help coach the Club's S-form signings two nights a week.

Bowman's new Tannadice commitments won't interfere with the continuation of his playing career at Station Park. "Dave has a wealth of experience as a player which will be invaluable to our young hopefuls," said United Manager Alex Smith. "Just as important - he's got United in his blood and can help us produce good young players in the traditional Tannadice mould."

Bowman's appointment to the coaching staff coincides with the arrival of a new clutch of S-form youngsters across Scotland this week. The new intake includes players from Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Dundee and Glasgow.
