...those were the days:

 

On This Day: 31 January

 

1962: Having drawn 2-2 at Clyde four days earlier, Aberdeen destroy their Rutherglen opponents by a whopping 10 goals to three at Pittodrie. Bobby Cummings gets five in what is one of Aberdeen's highest ever scorelines.

Those of us fortunate enough to be there will never forget Miller turning away in celebration and running in celebration in front of the South Stand.

Bizarrely though I'd forgot just how baltic it actually was for the time of year.

On this day in 1984, Stewart McKimmie scored his first Aberdeen goal, in a 1-0 win, down at Tynecastle, which saw us clinch the league title.

It would have been Willie Millers 29th Birthday too, with the great man turning 71 years young today.

Happy Birthday Willie.

Aye, I bet it was.

We're you at Easter Road too in 1980? 

 

Of course I remember it, but wasn't allowed to the fitba until 1987, so never experienced a title winning campaign in the flesh and likely never will.

Certainly was 👍

In fairness May 1980 was even more special as it was the first time I was to witness us win the league. I even went to the game sober in order to ensure I remembered every moment.

By the time the May '84 one came around, dare I say it, it was becoming routine to win things 

Far more drink involved in the '84 one though 😂

Forty six years ago today

One of the best days of my life 😉

10 years since Norman Goldie went through Pittodries pearly gates

The loon Goldie, as he was known in Torry.

Asked the Doctor, a few days before he died, when he was getting out, as he had a game at Pittodrie to attend at the weekend.

AFC was his whole life.

On this day in 1983, Miller and McLeish won the Scottish Cup after a disgrace of a performance.

Ah, the days afore instant news and social media.

Having been at the game and pished on the way back up the road it was the Sunday afternoon before I first heard about Fergie's comments😂

To his credit, Fergie now says he regrets what he said, but it just highlights the man's drive and determination to win.

It also highlights just how far our standards have been allowed to slide since those halcyon days…
