Joe Tulip (died 1979) was an English footballer best known for his time at Dumfries club Queen of the South.
His discovery was quite unique as he was spied by a Dumfries policeman on holiday in the north of England who then recommended him to the Queens directors.
[2] As a player Joe Tulip was part of two landmark events in the history of Queen of the South:[2] After scoring the only goal against Celtic at Celtic Park on 23 December 1933 the billboards for the Glasgow evening press ran with the headline, "Tulip tiptoes through the shamrocks".
The result gave Queens a double victory that season over Celtic as they did also against Hibs and Hearts.
[2] Joe Tulip made 129 appearances scoring 43 goals,[5] some from the penalty spot.
