    Schmeichel made his Man Utd debut the day before, for Alex Wright’s testimonial at Boghead.

    Just in case it comes up in a quiz...

    No idea what first game was (over 50 years ago) team would have included Jinky Smith, Jim Whyte, Bobby Clark Ally Shewan etc.
    I remember more of the team when Jens Petersen, Henning Boel,Alex Willoughby ,Jim Forrest, Davie Robb were in it (all red kit).

    Carried in over the turnstile like most youngsters and then crushed on way out as crowds converged on exit ( sometimes your feet would only touch the ground as crowd fanned out 5 feet outside ground.

    First Favourite player was Ally Shewan and ask me to name an Aberdeen line and it still begins "Clark Boel Hermiston"

    When I see the replica historic kits I still see them as a player of the time ( whether these are accurate I don't know)
    All red -Jinky white round neck Bumper Harper etc , Collar and V neck Jarvie , stripes down front Joe Smith, .....The Northsound blue thing with a scarf made of sick down it Eoin Jess ! Bizarre choice for such a cultured player

    Wee Erchie can remember his first game as it was the only one where Homer Simpson was on the pitch.

    Wait a minute. Wasn't that the game played hours after the Charlie Nicholas speculation rose, which definetly added a good few thousand onto the gate? Utd games were always well attended in those days, as were festive games, but that didn't account for the near sell out crowd, it was the Nicholas news.

    Sh1te sh1te game.

    I seem to recall the pre-Charlie New Year sell out was against Dunfermline, 0-0, but I could be wrang.

    Hibs away was the debut, I was there (did he hit the post?) but the pre-signing "bumper gate" I was convinced was the Pars, hey-ho, the old memory ain't what t'was.
