Oh what a night!

38 years ago yesterday I was at Pittodrie Stadium in Aberdeen to see Aberdeen beat Bayern Munich 3-2 (after a 0-0 draw in Germany two weeks before) in the quarter final of the Cup Winners Cup. 2-1 down with 15 minutes to go and needing two goals to go through. What an atmosphere , what a game, what a performance. So glad I was there to see it.

Aye but come on , be honest , it wasn’t as good as 43,000 Dandies watching Aberdeen draw with Inverness 0-0

A great night.

I watched it recently and although no one has ever thought of that night as a nasty encounter, with today’s namby pamby rules it would have ended as seven a side.
