40 Years On: Aberdeen’s European Glory

The Scottish Football Show

In the first of three stand-alone podcasts this month, we’re celebrating the incredible achievements of Scottish sides reaching European Finals, with three clubs all celebrating milestone anniversaries this year.
First up, it’s Aberdeen. It’s been 40 years since the Dons lifted the European Cup Winners' Cup on 11th May 1983, beating Real Madrid 2-1 in Gothenburg under the guidance of a certain Alex Ferguson.
Laura and Fin were joined by Scottish football broadcasting legend, avid Aberdeen supporter and author of ‘Glory in Gothenburg’ Richard Gordon to relive the whole story, from early days of the Alex Ferguson era right through to the lasting legacy winning the Cup Winners' Cup achievement has had on the club.
