Aberdeen's Golden Era
By Kevin Stirling
The Sir Alex Ferguson Years is an in-depth look at the most successful period in Aberdeen FC history—a footballing success story like no other. From 1978 to 1986, under Ferguson's management, the club not only dominated Scottish football, but two European titles in 1983 made them a household name across the continent. In seven seasons, ten major trophies brought unprecedented success to a club that had previously amassed half of that total in 75 years of existence. The arrival of a young, driven manager honed in Glasgow's tough streets, allied with an up-and-coming Aberdeen side, was a recipe for success. The city of Aberdeen was just beginning to enjoy the affluence that came from a bustling oil industry. The club embodied this success in a manner never witnessed before or since. Aberdeen, as a club, had a lot of untapped potential, but it needed the right manager to take things forward. That man was Alex Ferguson.
