Oh what a night!

[blowupsheep]

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.

Jeezuz Christ is it really 38 years, where the hell has the time gone and flown by.
Aye, that was without a doubt the best atmosphere I have experienced at pittodrie ever. The bounce when Hewitt scored the 3rd was fkn amazing, as we were actually all still celebrating the equalizer then all of a sudden we were in the lead and everybody just going mental jumping about huggin and kissin total strangers was brilliant.
Aye there was no covid restrictions on the go in them days.

Happy to be an old fart and have these fantastic memories.

Oor bus left fae the beach at 7pm on the Monday night. Parks O' Hamilton. Only got as far as Hamilton and we had to change the bus. Bog was flooded in no time. 80's p0rn on the bus tv was summin else .

Old five pence pieces the same size as a Deutsch Mark worked a treat in vending machines .

Best night at Pittodrie amongst many great nights in those days. Seem to (vaguely) remember a lockin in The Charlotte afterwards? The old 5ps worked in Hamburg too would only be Aberdonians jammed a dozen to a booth in the Reeperbhan even though it was only 5 pence!

I'm still annoyed that I couldn't get a ticket for that game.

If you were an actual dons fan you would've got one easily

It was my Dad's fault.

Being too young is no excuse.
Real Dons fans were in their early twenties when these games were being played.

There was a young Conservatives meeting that the game clashed with.
