Sad news.
Probably the last Aberdeen manager I genuinely liked

Gutted.
The very definition of cult hero.
We were mostly p1sh during that era but I had some of the best laughs following the Don's in them days.
Sorry to hear this.
A good man, forced into working with one hand tied behind his back.
Sleep easy min.
Hope your hereafter is full of mini skirts Ebbe min.
Same here. Always look back at that time with a smile - & I quite enjoy a grumble.
Some piss up in Berlin
It was autocorrect that changed Dons to Don's in the earlier post and I canna be @rsed changing it.
From Richard Gordon’s ‘Tales From The Dugout’:
“Referee Kenny Clark, when he was fourth official as the Dons were being routed by Motherwell,
“Ebbe turns to me and says, ‘I want to make a substitution’. I remind him I need the…numbers of the players going on and coming off so that I can input them into my electronic board. He…returns with the sheet, but it’s only got the number of the player he wants to put on. I tell him I need to know who he wants subbed off, and he replies, ‘You pick. They’re all pish’.”
It was a direct quotation from the book, so the tautological ‘input...into’ is not mine
Thought Id pop on to make my tribute to Ebbe, He was a lovely Man despite us taking some awful wallopings during his (en) duration, I once spent a lovely hour in his company at the Braemar Gathering in the beer tent of course, He absolutely loved Aberdeen and Scotland RIP Sir x
