37 years ago Alex Ferguson led a scrappy team of Scots to a European Cup Winners Cup Final victory over the mighty Real Madrid prompting Real's manager Alfredo Di Stefano to remark "Aberdeen have what money can't buy - a soul, a team spirit built in a family tradition."
What a team, what an occasion, never see the like again unfortunately

Willie Miller was a striker but Fergie thought he was shiete up front basically so put him to CB

Neil Lennon started his footballing career as a striker. Anyone who seen him for Celtic would remember he couldn't hit a barn door when shooting but his record at youth level was tremendous. Amazing what a good manager can see when you make the step up
