dandydunn Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 Last lost a European final 39 years ago today. Happy Gothenburg Day everyone 🔴⚪️⭐️⭐️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jersey Jim Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 I was 18 at the time, watched the game in the Manchester Pub on the promenade in Blackpool. To my recollection no actual Aberdeen fans in there as such, but loads of fans from Scottish and English clubs who celebrated Hewitts winner as if it was our own team, place went mental. Good times. 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toepoke Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 Following on from the discussion in the 21/22 thread, similar to Rangers this year, my mate always insists Aberdeen sacrificed the title that season for European success. Quite some run of successful finals for Real but I think it may come to an end shortly... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always thought too many games that season at business end when league so tight - Scottish cup games too the era of small squads -16 or 17 ???

I just checked, apparently McLean had claimed it was just 14, but was actually 20 Edited May 18, 2022 by exile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm at a RN reunion in Cardiff this weekend however, know where I'd rather be - I'll be home for St Mirren on 24th though Did you attend the preview last night, as I think I saw you share the advert?

RDFH64 Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 Souvenirs fae Gothenburg trip, left Peterhead 8 AM morning of the game and was back home 24 hours later 😵💫 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slasher Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 (edited) It’s funny, although I watched it I don’t really remember much about the final. I remember more the game against Bayern in front of a raucous crowd at Todders against a team that I would have said at the time, were probably better than Madrid. My abiding memory of the final was Hewitt scoring the winner and that it was absolutely pishing down all night 😂 Edited May 11, 2023 by slasher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davierobbsagod Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 from the age of 15 when I left school I followed the dandys home and away to some terrible sh*t holes , come 83 when I'm in my prime (22) I coudn't afford to travel to gothenburg,I/we were saving for my/our wedding the following year... I sat alone in my flat in portland street watching the game,the whole day wondering if it was going to go ahead because of the rain whilst all my pals and anyone with a heartbeat left for sweden Anyway many many years later I did get to gothenburg and into the ullevi stadium (one of my boys was in a tournament) and I got onto the pitch but couldnt work out which end the goal went in so I got the boy to give me a cross from both ends of the pitch,I scored one and the other hit my shoulder,to be fair it wasn't my turn to "chaperone" that day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All 3 were fantastic achievements. My only point is that it was tougher when Aberdeen won it than when Celtic won it. Same as now. Rangers and Celtic were close in the other two finals right enough. But imo the Aberdeen achievment was briillant. Gets my vote anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
