Ha true, but that was a great song.
So it was the perfect relationship between player and club.
Steve used us as a vehicle to get his big money move to Spurs and eventually Barcelona but not before being an integral part of the team that won the first League Championship in about 25 years.
The money the club made from his transfer paid for the cantilever roof on the South Stand which helped in making Pittodrie one of the most attractive stadiums of the 1980s AND probably helped in gathering together the funds for the transfer of Gothenburg legend Peter Weir.
As a nice added extra, he never had any later involvement with the gruesome twosome despite hailing from those parts.
Why is this fella not an AFC Hall of Famer? Nobody can deny he made a significant contribution to the Dons, and even indirectly, was crucial in the Dons Gothenburg victory. Get him in...

Aye definitely a hall of fame candidate for me .
Won the league with us then went and had success with two other huge clubs and as mentioned never dabbled with the dirty duo .
I watched some of the old World Cup repeats on BBC Scotland during lockdown and he was a class act .
On this day in 1979, perfect hatrick for Archibald

Celtic:
Latchford, Sneddon, McGrain, Aitken, MacDonald, MacLeod, Provan, Edvaldsson,McAdam, Conroy, Doyle (Lennox).

I was at that game, also famous for Willie Miller ripping his shorts and having to change at the dugout.
