...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.

If I mind correctly he didn't exactly punch the air in celebration?

Happy Birthday to Big Brian Irvine and Even Bigger Doug Rougvie! 

2002: The signing of French defender Eric Deloumeaux from Motherwell is completed. The experienced and versatile player is expected to be a great help with the developing young players in the squad.

On This Day: 31 August

 

1977: In a 5-0 League Cup win over Cowdenbeath at Pittodrie, Joe Harper scores 3 and gains the new all-time Dons' scoring record.

 

Of for a Joe Harper these days!

Would even snap your hand off for a Drew Jarvie

Or a Davie Robb

Or a Davie Robb

 

You took that too far

You wouldn't want "the brush" in his proime?

 

5 years. 

 

5 years. 

 

Well, it'll be our loss if he gets Phoenix FC into the Europa League.

 

5 years. 

 

 

10th October 1908 : Aberdeen went top of the league for the 1st time ever with a 3-2 home win over Partick Thistle.

"He has a direct approach. He's fast and makes things happen in the penalty box. That's where he comes alive."

 

No we're always getting spouted that same shite when we sign a Thor Christiansen or a Dyron Daal.

 

1995 - Our last trophy win.

It was a great day out. But I enjoyed the semi final more.

Same, not many bounces since have matched the second goal going in

It was a great day out. But I enjoyed the semi final more. 

 

I remember at the final, it was before drinking on the street was banned in Glasgow, and a whole bunch of Dundee and Aberdeen fans were quite happily drinking together on the grassy bank (if memory serves, near to where ASDA is now) which was the last place you could have booze before the stadium.

 

This wee ned in his vauxhall nova (or similar) with ridiculously oversized spoiler and exhaust got stuck in traffic, right in front of the crowd. Presumably having forgotten what day it was, he had decided to wear his rangers (remember them?) top, and when the crowd spotted this, an extremely localised shower of half-empty beer cans formed on the bonnet and roof of his car.

 

The best part was there was absolutely nothing he could do but sit and take it until the traffic loosened up enough and he could pull a three pointer and speed away.

 

Two cops came slowly walking down from the stadium, with the air of not really being arsed doing anything about it, but by the time they got there it was all over and everybody had assumed an innocent look of "who us? Nah, wouldn't hurt a fly, mate. Look, we're even sitting drinking with the other lot."

 

That was a chuckle.

I wish I'd seen that! My memories from that day are sketchy at best. I was only 10 years old at the time. I do remember going down on the BoD supporters bus and being surprised about how quiet everyone was on the way back up the road!

 

I also won a tenner on the bus sweeper that day. A tenner was a lot of money to me then. What a day!
