Random meetings with other Dons fans.

Probably Aldo stalking you.

Excuse me but I've never owned a Parma top. I was there though. Watching from afar.

Nae so far flung but recently noticed a boy working in Paisley Greggs had a very large Stand Free and two stars tattoo, so identified myself and we had a brief chat. Tatts are nae my thing but fair play to a young loon wearing that down this way.

I go on holiday to get away from you c*nts

[Pacman1903]

I was in Ibiza as a loon and wore a Parma top one day.
Across the breakfast hall, I spotted a bloke in a Dons top so headed over to have a chat.
He saw me and started to come see me.
He was a Parma fan.

Dons fan wearing Parma top meets Parma fan wearing an Aberdeen top.
It was pretty surreal.

Thats a cracker

We met the first black player to play for Aberdeen when we were in Ontario, early 90s. He worked for my uncle.

Can't remember his name but the AFC website had an article on him when he revisited a few years back.

Eversley 'Bo' Lewis? On trial at Pittodrie around 62-63. There's a photo of him in the squad in the Scottish Football Book No 9.

I dread to think what "'Bo" may have been an abbreviation for.

That's the one. Didn't find out about the "Bo". Stayed in digs and he asked us to say "hello" to the landlady which we did.

Bo Diddley because he gave the opposition the blues

Bo Diddley because he gave the opposition the blues

The peerless Ellas McDaniel's work is unlikely to have penetrated Scotland's NE in 1962, never mind the cultural consciousnesses of fitba players whose "favourite singers" in Pittodrie programme pen pics were usually Frankie Laine, Doris Day and Kenneth McKellar.

Any excuse for a bit of Bo, though. This song's imagery wouldn't be out of place in an Edgar Allan Poe tale.

Talking about random - I'm sure I've seen a few of you guys on here at a match.

[GASC1980]

In Valencia January 18. Moved out the way of a guy taking a picture of his girlfriend outside the ground before the Valencia v Girona game. Got speaking to him. Another Aberdeen fan from Glasgow.
