He was promised a move to the filth by a director when it looked like we were about to be relegated in 1995, and this was reneged on when we stayed up.
The following season, he called off from an away midweek League Cup tie since his wife (Mirjam? Nae pics) had been in the matty having their second child and his infant son had kept him awake all night and he was 'too tired' to travel and play.
Apparently, some of the older players in the squad felt let down and when Watt was given the gloves, Aitken decided to keep him in the team to teach Theo who was boss and to stop being such a big walloper.
I think he might have played against us in a 2-2 draw at The Midden around October 1996.

EDIT: McInnes came on as sub for the stinkies.
The best 'keeper we've ever had, my late brother's hero, a boy who still has great affection for Aberdeen, so I've kind of forgiven him for signing for that 18th century monolithic cultural desert.
