Only player ever to score for Aberdeen vs Bayern in Munich ( 1-5 defeat), after the previous season scoring a peach v Rangers at Pittodrie in the game we had to win on the last day of the season ( 2008?) to get into Europe. Can still see him beating McGregor to the ball left of goal and flicking it past him with the outside of his right foot from a tight angle- some skill that. Following on from Seve's rocket that was one of the best ends to the season we ever had to beat the scum 2-0 and quailify for EuropeOriginally Posted by SMsW

Low, Nicky
Most underutilised high energy midfielder we have. Scored match winning free kick v Ross County in December, scored one of our penalties in the LC Final, scored v Partick this season, and scored a beauty from 30 yards v Celtic u20s to win that match 2-1. He is overdue a run in the team and Willo is overdue a break.

Limassol
Venue for my first ever Euro away game against Salamina, which just happened to coincide with a family holiday to Ayia Napa (before it became the home of garage house music, whatever the f**k that is).
Surreal atmosphere in the ground as a couple of thousand soldiers joined the few hundred travelling dandies.
Mason and Gillhaus scored in a 2-0 win.

Little, Billy
Signed as a centre forward in the days of Proper Mannies' positions and formations, but was played on the wing by Eddie Turnbull.
Transferred when Jim Forrest of The Unfeasibly Large Thighs (often heard in dance halls roon the NE: "ony chunce o a ride, quine, ye've got thighs like Jim Forrest) was signed fae Preston.
Clever fecker ana. He studied for a degree when they didna gie them awa wi Cornflake packets as weel as playing for the Dons.
Not to be confused with Big Willie, the ginger beanpole centre half who we transferred to Spurs aboot this time in 75.

But I'd rather watch the Reds lose every week than be een o those peer dull-brained thick fuuckers that disna enjoy the privilege of being one of The Chosen.

Nae much to argue wi' that list 57min. '71 was really cruel. I fair thocht we were going to win it that year, what a team that was. Not to be I'm afraid, part o' life being a Dandy but I wouldnae hae it any other way. Just to add, went to school full o' Tims and the only real GIRFUY I enjoyed was the '70 final. Inbred cuunts.
