I was there in the Beach End. Always loved the name Fortuna Dusseldorf. Marek Dimitrov was another. Must dig out my old programmes.
Happy days.

Another excellent gesture today
This time Go Ahead Eagles in Holland
Next week I'm nipping over to Deventer and inevitably taking in the excellently named previously managed by Jimmy Calderwood Go Ahead Eagles.
This morning I tried to buy a ticket for their match v Almere City. I went to register for a club card but you have to have a Dutch address. So I found a contact number and phoned them. The guy on the other end was surprised someone from Aberdeen was travelling over to Deventer to watch them. We talked a few minutes about football then he put me on hold. When he came back on he informed me a ticket would be waiting at the ticket office pre game with no club card needed. Then he went on to point out due to the distance I am "travelling so far to see our great little club" the ticket will be free. How awesome is that gesture? Well played Go Ahead Eagles. An uncalled for and unbelievably appreciated gesture
Class
I was also there as one of the AAAC runners doing four laps before the kick off, might have been into the second half before I got finished mind
I do remember walking out of the tunnel under the lights and thinking **** me, thats amazing!!!!!!!!!!!, beach end packed and the corner to the south stand still in place, wont get that at the milne arena..............
Never realised they came from Deventer. Pass that place on the train from Schipol to Germany a lot. Deventer, Armesvoort, Hilversum, Almelo zzzzzzzzzzzz Always a boring train journey unless some Dutch person has jumped in front of the train (quite a common occurrence).
Was out for a meal on Hogmany, the mannie at the next table was from Milan so strangely enough the conversation turned to football.
I had heard him earlier talking about Real Madrid to a table of Spaniards.
Anyway, I was telling him I was a regular at San Siro when Milan had Gullit, van Basten etc.
Great team of course but he was actually a Juve fan.
Oh aye, a great player that Anastasi, I saw him score at Pittodrie.
I was just adding that he wasn't as good as Joe Harper though, when the guy said "Anastasi? that was ages ago.
Yes, said I, 1971 at Pittodrie, 1-1, Joe Harper and Anastasi
1971? he said, that was the year I was born.
I'm getting auld :s
After the non chat up their own arse Heerenveen w@nkers last night i get the amazing surprise of a free ticket for Zwolle tonight. I emailed in advance and had a yap with Emmeline expalining im from Aberdeen etc. Turned up tonight and met Emmelline and got a free brief due to the distance i had travelled.
Fitbas great when the clubs want it to be
Two free tickets this season. From two great rivals. Must be something in the Ijessel water
