11.5.83 was the best day of my life, the best of six best days, beating the days our four kids were born and the day I married their mother. Not even close actually. Such a shame that 35.5 years later I finally gave up on AFC and what it had become and in 2020 became a supporter of a team in blue with a disgusting second name. I don't agree that we should have been given league 2 but we would've won it anyway. The fucks I give for Aberdeen Westhill are zero. Aberdeen Cove is my future, a far more honest organisation and a rekindler of my love for supporting the game.

30 years ago today that we last won the Scottish Cup.

 

Where does the time go. I was just a plooky faced 16 year old old looking forward to years of cup triumphs, didn't work out quite as I had planned, but at least the plooks cleared up.

Just a few weeks before my daughter was born.

Hard to believe we have never won the Scottish Cup in her lifetime.

 

 

Of course if it wasn't for this bloody virus, we would have won it last weekend.

Aberdeen 4 - Rangers 1  -  Scottish Cup Final,1982

 

What a day.Only my second cup final at Hampden,but this was the first Scottish cup final,and remains the favourite of all finals.

 

Was working on a farm at the time and meant to be on duty that weekend to feed the 'baists',but no way was I missing this and was up at 6am to give them a double feed to keep them going til I got back,then headed along the road to join the Inverness reds to Glasgow.

  A great comeback after losing an early goal,though even at 3 -1 up in extra time,there was still a doubt that we wernt going to be allowed to win a Cup in Glsagow against the Hun,...…………….but up steppedl Neale to do his famous smash into the net..What a bounce.,what a journey home

    Didn't get back to the farm til midnight to feed the coos,but noticed theyd been already fed,and got a bollicking in the morning because theyd been roaring their heads off since late afternoon

 

  Happy days

This day in 1972 saw the debut of the Hungarian magician known as Zoltan Varga (RIP).

Delighted to say I was there and as a youngster, I was in awe of what that guy did and continued to do over the course of that season with a football. His time was way too short in the red of Aberdeen, but I guess without the dubious nature of how he ended up with us, we would never of had him in the first place.

I was in Budapest last month and on the way to the airport passed the stadium of Ferencvaros which led to a lengthy chat with the taxi driver who being of similar ages also remembered Varga.

Wow, and he was still driving? I guess they don't have the same safety ethic in Hungary.

There is a post about him in the off topic section.

Not sure exactly when, but Scotfree brought it to our attention
