I m french but i was supporter of Aberdeen..Real wasn t humble before the final....Great era...And here big match, at 1-2 for such a Bayern team,the dons of Ferguson made it!But time is so difficult for Aberdeen and scottish football today..
I’m a Hearts fan. Really enjoyed that. Fergie worked wonders up there and you did very well to keep him for 8 years. A totally different era before money ruined the game. Great to see a homespun Scottish Side Pit their wits against the best in Europe and come out on top.
Was at youth club that evening, 15 years of age, listening to radio and 1-2 when I left, ran home and when I got home it was 3-2, watched highlights on TV, unbelievable!
What a team Aberdeen had back then. Everything and everyone came together at the right time. Just look at the way they attacked teams from all angles and tumber of goal attempts in their games from that era!
Football was really pure joy to watch back then, big money ruined everything, first of all it was clean, no rolling and theatrical shit after every foul. Also teams were 100% (never under 90%) actual local/national players, not full of overpaid foreigners like now, where you have teams like Bayern or Real almost withouth Germans and Spaniards, so i have more respect for something achieved back then when you had real gentleman sports competition than in "money will buy you trophy" era of last 30 years.
A lot of that's true, mate. European clubs had one or two, maybe three foreigners at most. Scots clubs were almost all homegrown with maybe the odd Irishman or Scandinavian here and there. English teams, of course, had players from all over the UK and Ireland, and I think thats where the England team suffered because Scots, Welsh and Irish players in their club sides sometimes stifled the advancement of English players.
@@snpok524 You're forgetting that German players are also out on loan and injured right now, that's why. This guy tried to claim there was almost NO German players playing for Bayern when they're probably known for having most Germany players in their team.
Aberdeen v Bayern Munich thirty eight years ago was on ITV. It was introduced by Dickie Davies with Denis Law both in the studio and the commentators at Pittodrie Ian St John and Brian Moore.
byerns second goal was a stroke of genius. i saw that game in 1981 on tv and when the byern player hit that ball on the volley and coming at him from the side and the way he had to adjust his body so quickley to put that into the net was brilliant to watch and still is, but in 1981 i was age just 8 and said "awe that was just magic wasnt it" we wer kind of speechless for about 30 long seconds as the goal was that good. 1 of the best goals that year, maybe the best goal of that year. it took skill, flair, confidence, timing, and remarkable speed of thought. brilliant days!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tavy@ i was lucky enough to have seen the early 1980s scottish teams play and it was brilliant growing up knowing you had at least 6 great teams in the old premier leauge. Then the european nights, thats what kept us kids going out to play with a ball in hale sleet or snow. The weather didnt matter we were football mad. After a european game or any game at night we would sneek out with a ball at 9.30pm or 10pm at age 7, 8, 9... It was so diffrent back then and you felt safe. Those european nights at parkhead, tannadice, pittodrie, ibrox, even st mirren park too had a few great nights. The question is whats happend to all that. Where has it all whent. I remember 1980 to 1985 the most becouse the football was brilliant becouse you had the top 4 playing most years like celtic, aberdeen, dundee utd and rangers. And 1986 and 87 and thats it. The best team performance i have ever seen by a team is by dundee utd when they beat borussia munchengladback 5-0 at tannadice in 1982 or 83 i thinck. I have never saw a team play that night the way they did. It was breath taking stuff for the whole game and you didnt want it to end it was just awe some football utd played that night. I reckon they couldv beat any one in britain and europe that night. It was like a one off performance all the great teams produce now and then that is better than there great to brilliant games they play. But that second goal byern scored there, wtf. That was probably the best goal scored in the 1980s. That was just genius. The way he had to control not just the ball but his own body as he saw it coming to him fast to then balance his body in a position to then volley that past leighton from that angle and far out takes a special top great player to put those ones in the net. The greatest players in the world hardly got injured becouse they have a natural balance that others dont have. Thats why he scored that goal in the way he did. His balance made him slightly adjust to hit the shot that most people cant see.
Hard to believe how good Aberdeen was in the early 80s... Dundee Utd also from what I remember . It a shame that anyone not old enough will just think it has always just been Celtic and rangers in Scotland that contested for trophy’s.God bless UA-cam lol .
Celtic and the other team used to fear us, there's no denying that. They were both a laughing stock during the early to mid 80s. Times change tho, capitalism works for some teams :(
tavy@ i just want to go back to those days and nights in the 1980s it was just brilliant to be alive then. so i was age 7 when the 1980s began and remember every year being great to grow up in. with the football then music plus the style of clothes i thought was great. but the music then was just awe some. there was so many groups and singles and great albums wich funny enough it was 80s albums that sold the most ever in history. first with over 60 million copys world wide was ac/dc with back in black wich was released in 1980. Then second was michael jacksons thriller sold over 53 million in 1983. But the european nights back then at pittodrie, parkhead, tannadice, ibrox, and others were just a pure joy to watch. That second byren munich goal that night was a goal a said al never forgett. Its the best goal i have seen at pittodrie and still is, that was just genuis the way he changed to steady his body and with control when he hit the shot. Its the best european goal of the 1980s i have seen. If that had been cruyff or pele or maradona or any british player you would be seeing that amazing goal all the time but he wasnt so the s.f.f.a didnt care and in truth that goal was forgott about before it even hit the net. With big jim leighton trying to work out how he managed to beat him from that far out and from that angle so fast 'BANG GOAL' take that one jim and look back on it when you get home on video tape. Jim looked as if 3 balls had beat him from there and wasnt sure wich ball was the match ball. lol but great times, money has ruinend all that.
Shame the cameraman missed the lead up to the winning goal, while he focused on McLeish who'd just scored, clearly not expecting the home side to score again so soon after. So here's from the match report: "Aberdeen almost neglected to celebrate, Hewitt instead hauling the ball out of the net and making straight for the centre spot. Almost straight from kick-off, a pinpoint long ball from McMaster found the head of Black, hanging in the air in the Bayern six-yard box, but his header was clawed away by Müller. As waves of noise crashed from the Pittodrie stands onto the pitch like North Sea breakers, Hewitt forced the rebound home to seal an astounding victory."
It's incredible to look back on that season (1982/83) and realise that Aberdeen actually finished 3rd in the Premier Division that season. I don't think we'll ever see another day when the best team in Scotland (never mind the 3rd best!!) can go toe-to-toe with the likes of Bayern Munich & Real Madrid.
Tavy@ what a game! Before money ruined football. Every man in that aberdeen team was scottish. I saw this game back in 1983. And tbh byerns second goal was an absolute piece of magic. At the time when he scored it every one in my house were like, "eh how did he do that. What a finish" we were stunnend into silence and we dont support aberdeen. But i thought it has to be one of the best if not the best goal in the 1980s. That was sheer genius. It took balance, remarkable speed of thought, alot of skill, timeing, flair, speed, control over his own body as well as the ball, to score like that and from where he was standing at. And its harder becouse a ball that high coming across you is the hardest to hit than a ball coming back to you or put infront of you. A just couldnt believe it. What a player that man was!!!
I don't remember what he said about Aberdeen but he dismissed Liverpool after a goalless draw at Anfield in the 1981 European Cup semi final only for Liverpool to knock Bayern out on the away goal.
7:49 because the referee continually refuses to book that Bayern player, the Aberdeen player slyly calls him a naaazi* - watch his sly gesture as if he's pointing to something... he's not pointing. Plausible deniability.
Memories..... Unfortunately, the OF have hogged the limelight with their greed and self-serving behaviour since then, which has resulted in the destruction of the Scottish game, which we now have today.
Actually Aberdeen were averaging about 15,000 home attendance that year and the old firm were probably about the same. What has happened since is the old firmare now getting 50,000 to 60,000 home attendances. And of course the decision that home clubs keep their home gate instead of splitting it 50-50 was the beginning of the permanent upswing in fortunes for the old firm
I'm a. CELTIC fan and yes Aberdeen were good but saying that CELTIC had a great record against them thay all ways beat the rotten mob aka rangers LOL🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🏴
40 years ago and it still gives me tears of joy. Aberdeen were outstanding that night.

Before money ruined football. Every player in that Aberdeen team was Scottish
Right. Even the ball was Scottish.
Technically Tattie wasn’t lol
And the bayern's player were german
Composure on the ball in and around the box by both teams
Before Souness ruined Scottish football.
A great era for Scottish football.
Good days even tho before my time.
What a magic team,trained by a legendary coach! I remember the final too against Real Madrid,the scores of Black and Hewitt!!
I’m a Hearts fan. Really enjoyed that. Fergie worked wonders up there and you did very well to keep him for 8 years. A totally different era before money ruined the game. Great to see a homespun Scottish Side Pit their wits against the best in Europe and come out on top.
Gregor Anderson and no shirt sponsors. Hope to see the jambos stay up. East coast!
And For a second time too (homespun wise)
What Sir Alex did with Aberdeen and what Jose did with Porto. It’s why i rate them above Pep.
This is football (greetings from France)
I miss those games. You would never see those teams nowadays anymore, especially at the higher level. Money has destroyed this great sport.
Was at youth club that evening, 15 years of age, listening to radio and 1-2 when I left, ran home and when I got home it was 3-2, watched highlights on TV, unbelievable!
The french european football magazine voted Aberdeen team of 83.
What a team Aberdeen had back then. Everything and everyone came together at the right time. Just look at the way they attacked teams from all angles and tumber of goal attempts in their games from that era!
That roar when Hewitt scores - absolutely incredible.

Bayern team are without Germans? Mate most of the Bayern team are German. 😂😂😂 Probably the wrong example to pick.
@@UpcdtdSYesterday's Bayern team had 5 German born players, so most of the team were non Germans.

I'm a Hibbie and that gave me goosebumps. Great game and brilliant result
Robert Cramb What kind of hibee loves a sheep goal. Traitor.
Well said Robert. I am a Celtic fan and I was cheering on Aberdeen in Europe that season. The Dons had a magnificent team then.
That free kick will go down in history. My Team.
can't watch that that 3rd goal without getting a tear in my eye
That free kick was very well played!

This was a time where away goals counted. A fortnight before my 9th birthday, what a present. COYR.
I remember that after the pitch was clear of fans fergie put the players back out to give thanks to the supporters

Greatest night of Pittodrie. Sir Alex Ferguson
I wonder why Black Hewitt and Mc Gee hadn't the same fortune and good performances with the Scottish National team
Very good question. Were they always picked? Sturrock and bannon the same.
Incredible as it sounds John Hewitt's winning goal as a substitute against Bayern Munich was not the highlight of his season or indeed his career.
No prima donnas, great teamwork..
Shame the cameraman missed the lead up to the winning goal, while he focused on McLeish who'd just scored, clearly not expecting the home side to score again so soon after. So here's from the match report:

minor point but how is the boy not booked at the end? that was a booking back in the 60's nevermind the 80's lol. Red card nowadays.
This was in the days before Specsavers were referee sponsors - hahahahaha
That’s exactly what I thought! Nowadays that would be an instant no ifs or buts straight red and it wasn’t his first nasty foul either!
Can't believe he didn't even get booked for it, should've been sent off
Bayern keeper Muller stopped this game being a rout.
Pittodrie goes Berserk ! COYR
