What ferguson and mclean did in Scotland will never be equalled
@zxmoore12 ай бұрын
Im an American and unfortunately growing up I wasn't able to watch any Scottish Football in the 1980s. And of course I've heard stories about them and obviously them being the last non Celtic/Rangers team to win. I have a few questions for those that were/are supporters and for those who supported other clubs that remember them. Would love to hear your stories and honest opinions for those that lived through it, no matter who you supported. Just how great was Aberdeen in the 1980s? Who were their best players? Was Celtic/Rangers down during those years or were Aberdeen that great? Would love to hear from you, cheers!!

Bit of both , Celtic were still a force (winning 4 titles from the late 70s to mid 80s) rangers had fallen away while Dundee Utd also had a great side and manager ,Aberdeen had some great players at the time Miller , Mcleish,Leighton but what made the difference was the manager.Ferguson brought a desire to win and was on a mission to topple the Glasgow clubs , a great time to be an Aberdeen fan and a great time for Scottish football in general

Can anyone provide subtitles for Alex Ferguson's rant at 26:50 ? I understood Aberdeen, Rangers and Disgrace, but that was about it.
@andrewjohnston28502 ай бұрын
the luckiest team in the world the day,a disgrace of a performance , Miller and Mcleish won the cup for Aberdeen,Miller and Mcleish played rangers themselves the day, i dont care about winning cups our standards were set a long time ago and im not going to accept that performance from any Aberdeen team

I,m an Aberdeen, fan from Spain, and all the Scottish football in general. I remember this 80,s year with a lot of emotions. This team was some marvellous for me, amazing. Those matches with Bayern, Real Madrid, with Sir Alex Fergusson....... unforgettable!!!❤❤

What a team! I remember being on the end of a 0-8 bleaching at Fir Park in ‘79, and understanding (even aged 12) that the Dons were differently put together. I also remember nearly sh***ing my pants when that Real free kick missed by a bawhair in the dying minutes. A fantastic night for all of Scotland 🏴🏴🚩

I remember watching this match back in '83. Yes, it really does seem like 38 years ago, but I do recall Aberdeen were all over Real M in the second half. Really had them on the ropes. Fully deserved the victory. 2-1, and even then the Real goal was from a very dodgy penalty.

Indeed. What doesn't get mentioned is that after Big Eck's equaliser we were still going out on away goals, but Hewitt goes into the goal to retrieve the ball @ 13:57 and launches it upfield to get on with the game. Less than a minute later he had scored the goal that was to be the winner and make everything that came after possible. Always thought it was a pity the cameraman misses the build up by focussing on McLeish as the game gets underway. Obviously the ball goes out for a throw in and someone centres and Black gets his head on it, then Hewitt puts away the rebound.

I don't like Rangers either. Let's be fair though. Yes Neale Cooper did play for Rangers as did Alex Ferguson. Alex McLeish later managed them. I don't feel the immense contribution they made to the success indicated above should not count because of an association with Rangers.
@gavb98167 жыл бұрын
kevin gallagher you are probably right, in that most players would do the same I don't think Miller or McLeish would have went to the Old Firm as players. I would imagine they were both sounded out by them as they were the best in the country,at the time

I am glad we agree the phanton. I am actually a Celtic fan but I have a healthy respect for the Aberdeen team we competed against. In 1980 you beat us twice at Celtic Park in the run in to winning the league and in 1984 and 1985 you beat us by 7 points on both occasions. As a child at the time I was cheering on the dons against Real Madrid and feeling delighted when they did won. Much later on I found it hard to accept Gordon strachan as the Celtic manager as I remembered him as a formidable foe from the 1980s.
@djharrybutler3 жыл бұрын
Cooper actually left 3 years later and it was for Aston Villa. He then moved to Rangers in 1988 and made his debut in the infamous "Simpson/Durrant" match where he scored a great goal from outside the penalty area. He signed again for Aberdeen but could not get up to the fitness standard required and left without making a single appearance
