    Personal Fitba Firsts

    This thread is doomed to the under ten replies, under 100 views bargin basement bin because most people can't remember their footballing firsts...Nevertheless, the threads presently are lacking that bit of je ne sais quoi so I'll crack on regardless...

    Harking back to the old Pittodrie Profile segment in the match programme (Favourite Pre-Match Meal: Steak and Chips, Favourite Band Earth, Wind and Fire etc)

    1st Dons European Match: Dynamo Berlin 19/9/84 (just missed the glory years)

    This match highlights was shown on ITV but on the national network (I haven't explained that correctly but I mean everyone in the UK could watch the match) with comms from Brian Moore, which I have a copy of the original with Moore practicing is Intro etc...

    Now during this Intro the camera pans to show a healthy Dons support, and I've always wondered how they travelled over. Would it have all been conducted at the travel agents or was there actually supporters buses running to Hamburg?

    This needs sharing - can you upload it somewhere?

    I have a copy of the Grampian original for the home game against Bayern in March 1983.

    I uploaded a section of it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=laeBBhDfwfc
