Quite upsetting actually. Mind seeing the two of them in Safeway on King Street executing a shopping list which apparently consisted of the following items.

1. Marlboro reds

2. Red wine. 
 

list ends.

To put Kiriakov’s signing into chronological contest, we signed him a matter of weeks before a high flying Oasis would play much anticipated shows at Knebworth and Loch Lomond. Was at the latter. Mental. 
 

And I’d totally forgotten that he went on play for Airdrie and Raith after us.

I'd wager that so have both teams fans!

We used to go to rileys in the summer holidays, think you could get a table all day for a tenner. Kiriakov 9 times out of 10 was next to us chain smoking cigars. Legend.

Are we sure on that stat that Kiriakov and Tzvetanov never got any more caps after joining? I'm not convinced

I think Tzvetanov got a couple but Kiriakov didn't. Unless Transfermarkt is wrong like.

maybe they were in squads but didnt manage to get on. Certainly dont recall them being completely out of the picture

[muttonhumper]

Signed them both after/during Euro '96.

Possibly just before as I recall watching Bulgaria and knowing Kiriakov would be playing for us the coming season.

He started v Spain, where Tsvetanov came on as sub, then Tsanko started v Romania and France.

[TheRock]

Just checked his Wikipedia page. I have no memory of Kiriakov playing for Airdrie and Raith Rovers.

The press effectively decided that it was solely that performance that drew Aberdeen towards signing him. 
 

To be fair he definitely had Gazza in his back pocket that night. Which may explain his injury issues. Gazza wasn’t light and with all the cocaine and Newcastle Brown a strain or pull was likely.

Aye was the '94 WC he played in, was Bulgaria's stand out player in their run to the semi-final.

I stopped reading at “Alex Millers a good manager”

 

Not having that even in aged print. 
 

arguably the single most tactically negative and backwards looking manager of all time. Easily the most boring football ever played at Pittodrie. 

[Dons79]

great goals from stoichkov and the baldy lechkov, was a big shock beating the krauts, stoichkov had a great tournament.

That's a pretty poor post, TC. An extreme lack of class on your part. You're also lucky I'm not a grass.

Great song, but hard to listen to without a lot of sadness now

 

[DandyDon80]

Yeah I haven't really been able to listen to that song since we lost Scott. Frightened Rabbit were a huge part of my life 

[Roberto]

Played well tonight 

[Zeus]

MOTM

[RUL]

Basically if a team is slow and wants to play long balls he’s excellent. Hopefully he finds a way, if it exists, to get some pace and then Cormack can sell him for some money.

[King Street Loon]

Another solid night for big Slobbery Dan.

Really benefiting from having Gartenmann and Jensen either side of him.

[Don_Corleone]

He was pretty good last night - was slobbering all over their striker wherever he went. If he went out wide, Ruby was there, if he dropped short to the half way line, Ruby followed him, never gave the guy a second's peace. He's suited to defending against that type of striker - it's up against strikers with pace that he's going to struggle.

[Betty Swallicks]

Played ok but perhaps suspect for the goal. Stopped or slow as fuck.
