Still have that away shirt! One of our best. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

killiepiemuncher Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 That first pic is utterly magnificent.I don’t think the modern football fan can truly understand the experience of being in those type crowds. The only comparison being a rock concert mosh pit. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly the 'Limbs' experience of 30 seconds bouncing around like a whirling dervish, bouncing off all and sundry and ending up about 20 feet from where you were are consigned to history. The last one I really remember being in was, ironically, Williams equaliser in stoppage time against Killie. Maybe I'm just too old now, but it doesn't seem to happen as much. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Recognise Ian St John, Denis Law and I think Bobby Charlton. No idea who the other England players are though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spidersmad Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Yep - Ron Springett is England goalie, Ron Flowers on left of picture and Peter Swan on extreme right of picture. 1962 International, I think - 2-0 win for Scotland. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at that lumpy, undulating turf. Imagine if players like Lennox had had the opportunity to play on today's bowling green pitches? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
resk Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 I’m in there somewhere. Totally rammed terraces were OK as the exception though.... Beautiful. I've always thought that Dons v Celtic or Hibs with both teams in their home kits is one of the greatest sights in Scottish fitba. Must be the red/green contrast. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know which specific match that was ?... eg the league decider in 1970-71 , or the Dryborugh Cup Final. Or do you just know you’d have been there because you went to all the Dons- Celtic games in that era ? Is the Dons player Steve Murray ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a fantastic photo, and just what this thread is here for. It’s definitely the league decider from 17th April 1971, as Bobby Lennox didn’t play in the Drybrough Cup Final, and also definitely Steve Murray. The excitement before that match, the league decider, was the best that I’d ever experienced at that time at Pittodrie. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Arthur Graham had had a right foot we'd have won the league. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
