Biography

The keeper who was signed from Queen's Park by John Prentice in 1970 was to transcend the Ally Donaldson and Thomson Allan eras between the sticks.

Apart from a brief run. of five games towards the end of 1970, he didn't get much of a look in during his first season at Dens Park, but ruled the roost the following season, missing only three league games.

Having said that the experienced Ally Donaldson was recalled for the memorable UEFA Cup ties with Cologne and also played in Milan. The signing of Thomson Allan at the start of the following season saw Hewitt revert to the role of back up keeper, making just nine appearances and the following season - his last at Dens- was restricted to just the final game of the season at Dumbarton.

That was something of a farewell gesture because it was the last of his 58 appearances for the club before being sold to American side Tampa Bay in 1974.
