What a team Aberdeen used to be !Sir Alex Ferguson best time at Aberdeen

The earliest cup win for the dons I saw whole as a kid. Starks diving header, And Hewitt so great goals, great memories.john Hewitt was my fave player. It was still a good season for hearts, as they had been poor for years, so to be runners up in both was them back on the stage. It was the rebirth of them really. Aberdeen 2 cups that season, and quarter final in the European cup. Undefeated in all the cups. The first non old firm club to win a domestic cup double. Other than that super cup Scottish cup double of 1984. And ECWc and cup double of 1983. The only Scottish club to win a cup double including European trophies, twice in a row.

A time when scottish football was worth watching.
Multiple teams were league title contenders.
That aberdeen team was magnificent and full of experienced campaigners and serial winners.
Dundee utd were a great side too.
Now we watch two teams every year fight it out and its all so terribly dull.

Hearts lost the league the week before, the famous Albert Kidd game. As they trotted out of the tunnel before the start of this game, the look on the Hearts players faces made me think they were already beat.

Lol..I remember watching it on TV..
Me a dons and Liverpool fan and my big brother a Rangers and Liverpool fan...we had to switch back and forth between BBC 1 and ITV because they were showing both Scottish cup final and F.A cup final.between Liverpool and Everton, at the same time 😂 was a great day watching both my teams win on t.v, super Dons!

Hearts the gift that started giving around about this time. Perennial failures

Hilarious watching the jambos season totally collapse after Hewitts 5th minute goal. A truly horrible fitba club.

To this day, the last time a team other than Celtic and Rangers has go close to the Cup

Edinburgh yo-yo club Hearts, well and truly slapped

Hearts will never get back to that (almost) double winning team. The Dons (here in 2024) are getting towards league challengers again.

Hearts had lost the league the previous week. Fergie found out they hadcemployed a psychologist to get the defeat out of their heads.
Fergie had his players meet the Hearts team with ‘ sorry about last week’ ‘never mind maybe next time’ and similar. Waste of a psychologist’s wage.
Hearts beaten before a ball kicked.
Fergie invented football psychology.

All the Aberdeen players wearing rip-off copies of Warwick Capper's Sydney Swans shorts is weird enough, but where did Hearts get replicas of Capper's Brisbane shorts in 1986?🤔

for all watching / commenting on this - was truly a season of decline for Aberdeen = check the league position ; Fergies interest had waned a bit by then and had eyes on greener pastures - even the signings and replacements from youth teams were way short of what could have been = sustained levels ; then porterfield really turned it pear shaped - its okay if your just happy with odd cup wins though ....

To be honest, we as Middle easterns we watch The Scottish league only for Celtic 💚
