Aberdeen FC Miscellany collects together all the vital information you never knew you needed to know about the Dons. In these pages you will find irresistible anecdotes and the most mindblowing stats and facts. You may be rightly proud of the only Scottish club that have won two European titles and have never been relegated in their 111-year history; but did you know they also boast two players who scored six goals in a match? And did you know Pittodrie's dugouts were the first in Britain? Have you heard the one about the Dons' keeper who wore waterproofs and used an umbrella? Or how about the time Aberdeen (playing as the 'Washington Whips') were crowned champions of America? All these stories and hundreds more appear in a brilliantly researched collection of trivia - essential for any fan who holds the riches of the Reds' history close to their heart.

From the controversy that surrounded Aberdeen FC's first cup semi-final, through the triumphant European golden era of the 80s to their long-awaited return to glory with their League Cup win in 2014, here are 50 of the club's most glorious, epochal and thrilling games of all. Aberdeen's isolation as a northerly football outpost has helped to forge their own remarkable story, as reflected in the games covered in this book. The Dons have a rich 115-year history that has been defined by their achievements on foreign shores rather than by battling local rivals. An irresistible cast list of club legends - manager Alex Ferguson, Gordon Strachan and Joe Harper, Willie Miller, Jim Leighton and Duncan Shearer - comes to life in these thrilling tales of goalscoring feats, Hampden glory and triumphs on foreign fields. As the club enters a new era, with relocation from their spiritual home of Pittodrie edging ever closer, Aberdeen Greatest Games reflects on unforgettable moments in the club's history that are guaranteed to make any fan's heart swell with pride.
