Have never noticed the resemblance before but that is none other than Andy Considine's old man Doug.

Willie Miller scores vs Celtic to win the league 1984/85

 

 

I have been fortunate to have seen so so many great times at Pittodrie, but you know what this game remains right up there with the best of my memories.

Sat in the South Stand that afternoon it really was a magical moment when Miller scored at the Paddock end and literally ran the length of the South Stand celebrating

Halcyon days lads.

I still remember that to this day Al, the look on his face was something else, you could really see what it meant to him.

A few years back the club had a replica of that shirt for sale. I sent off for one, but for some reason they sent me the 1970 cup winners shirt. That is the one with the long sleeves, which really nice looking, long sleeves are not the best for the tropics... I do wear it when it gets "cooler" here. I got in contact with the club about the mix up and they sent me the 1976 for free. I thought that was top notch of the club shop.

good spot. 5'3" according to Wiki,looks about right.Pic looks like him

[scotfree]

Aye. Looks like him. I'm ashamed to say that I don't know much about him. He does seem to have had an interesting past.

 

" George Campbell had been the youngest ever player to play for Aberdeen. He came on a sixteen year old substitute against Morton in 1975 to make his First Division (current Premiership) debut. Hellas paid a record fee of $20,000 to secure the skillful, tricky youngster already dubbed "The White Pele". In five seasons at Middle Park he would score 17 goals from 104 appearances with the club reaching a best ever NSL placing to that point when Runner's-Up in 1981."

George Campbell, Andrew Bagshaw, Fraser Fyvie....similarities 

Actually thats probably unfair on Fyvie, but sure you all get my drift.
