dj_bollocks Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Was reminded by Wikipedia that we have a Hall of Fame... Not sure how accurate the following is though... AFC Hall of FameAberdeen inaugurated the Hall of Fame as part of the club's centenary celebrations in 2003. At the launch, it was claimed that over a five-year period, around 50 players and staff would be inducted. Six players were inducted following the initial dinner in March 2004, and a further six were included in November 2004. Jim BettDick DonaldJoe HarperJohn HewittDrew JarvieJim LeightonFred MartinAlly ShewanTeddy ScottNeil SimpsonEddie TurnbullWillie Miller Some glaring omissions in there most notably SAF... I'd also put Gordon Strachan and Alex Mcleish in there despite managing OF teams, I'd have Dave Halliday in there too, and maybe Bobby Clark... Thoughts, suggestions ? Link to comment
Dal Riata Don Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 I dislike the Americanization of our sport/team. I don't think we need a hall of fame: everyone has their own heros and knows who they are being able to agree/disagree about who was the best is all part of being a supporter. Link to comment

I don't know, a bit of recognition to those that have served the club well is decent. Link to comment
OddJob Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 Chris Anderson not in the Hall Of Fame like? Majorly surprised if he isn't Link to comment
ollie1903 Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 I'm sure Tommy could testify after witnessing him grace Pittodrie so often, that the omission of Archie Baird is nothing short of a scandal. Link to comment
fine-n-dandy Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 The Toaster must be in there Link to comment

tup Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 Footballers from the era of tackety boots and medicine balls deserve little recognition as football was way too easy and ill-disciplined in those days. 1 Link to comment
NorthernLights24 Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 The fans, for putting up with all the shite the club has put us through over the years. Link to comment
Dal Riata Don Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 I dislike the Americanisation of your spelling of "Americanisation" That's fair enough. I am atrocious at spelling and being in Japan my computer's default orthographic setting is to American English. My point about us not needing a Hall of Fame still stands. I think the club should glory in it's history but I think that there are better ways to do so. Link to comment

Dal Riata Don Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 Aren't you an English teacher, or did I imagine that! Yes I am. So (I think) being aware of my own deficiencies in language is something that keeps me aware of a learner's perspective. I'm not infallible. You'd be amazed at how many in this line of work think that they are; they tend to put less effort into their work which, as I see it, short-changes the students. The worst teachers/ lecturers I've ever had were the ones who were either completely out of touch with the position of a student and/or couldn't understand why learning in their particular field was difficult. No facts, just my opinion. Link to comment
