Back in 1983 a small little club in Scotland called Aberdeen had a big day in the Winner’s Cup, the old Champions League, and in honor of tomorrows match and one Alex Ferguson, we look back on this momentous night. They made it to the final with players like McLiesh and Strachan leading them forward on a Cinderella run. But then they came to the final, and the mighty giants of Spain, Real Madrid. But that day in 1983, the Aberdeen players ran themselves to death for their manger, one Alex Ferguson, and they triumphed 2-1.

Um. Nothing to do with the Champions League – the forerunner of which was the European Cup.
Aberdeen won the European Cup-Winners’ Cup. Which is obviously a far superior trophy to any of your Champions’ League rubbish. 🙂
