On this day

[blinlemon]

On this day (2 days ago, but naebody’s counting) in 1970, having completed the purchase of around 50% of the Rubber Shop’s Subbuteo stock, I was dragged into the nae-long-opened Norco House on George Street, much to my disgust, and was raking through the LP racks to see if I could afford Free’s Fire and Water, when the in-store tannoy announced that the Dons had beaten Celtic at Parkhead to put us top of the Proper Mannies’ First Division (a Joe Harper heider, although the Co-opy mannie omitted this detail). 
 

There then ensued the thrill of a title race that we fucked up by only drawing at Pittodrie with the Deidbastards, St Paisley, Motherwell, and Celtic. The destruction of a third of the Main Stand by fire hindered us a bit too. 
 

What a time to be alive.

Jess was never the same after he broke his leg, and playing in midfield was a mistake.
