Can anyone mind or linkage to what his exact quote was about Aberdeen after we goosed Real Madrid in 1983?

 

Something along the lines of "Aberdeen have what money can't buy, huge team spirit."

 

Something like that anyway.

[NorthernLights24]

"Aberdeen have what money can't buy....a soul"

[JimmyJimmy]

"Aberdeen have what money cannot buy - a soul..."

 

There is more to it after the ellipsis but I can't remember it.

[RUL]

Thanks guys.

[Guest ultrarobin]

Link anyone? I've seen it quoted loads of times but never on a source!

[vikaben]

Think the longer quote is something like

 

Aberdeen have what money can

[Guest LondonScottish]

I've never actually seen the source.......... or was it Aberdeen journals imagination??

Here we have a signed print by the Alex Ferguson to celebrate the 20th Anniversary of Aberdeen beating Real Madrid in the European Cup Winners Cup in 1983. It is titled ‘Day of the Dons’ and has a quote from the Real Madrid manager Di Stefano ‘Aberdeen have what money can’t buy - a soul, a team spirit built in a family tradition’.

THEY'LL JUST COUNTER IT WITH:

 

"ATLETICO HAVE WHAT ABERDEEN MONEY CAN'T BUY. TICKETS"

 

[RTYD]

SOMEONE HAS TO TURN THAT INTO A BANNER FOR THE MADRID GAME - THEY WILL *hate* THAT

 

 

No they will love that. We beat Real not Athletico.

Surely having the Quote in Spanish would be a better idea? As I assume the original quote wasn't in English

[Red Hornet]

if anyone going is up for it this is the quote in spanish.

 

"Los Aberdeen tienen lo que el dinero no puede comprar - un alma, un esp

[JimmyJimmy]

Anyone know the Spanish for "Come on you c u n t s"?

[NorthernLights24]

If we're going to have banner at the Madrid game why not have - Aberdeen 2-1 Real Madrid Und

[BIG_AL_1983]

Anyone know the Spanish for "Come on you c u n t s"?

"El jizzo da fandango"

If a Red ultra ( I assume RUL is one?) is asking the question about the quote does it not suggest you may see this somewhere ?

 

I think the '1903' suggestion sounds much easier to make up a banner.

88 is a fair age...the cunt should let go and see what's next...

[E-P-K]

488 goals in 664 games.

 

 

Nae bad, nae bad at all.

488 goals in 664 games.

 

 

Nae bad, nae bad at all.

Especially for an 88 year old with a dodgy heart.

[Karl Fletcher]

RIP.

 

He kent the score when it came to the Dandies.

 

[minijc]

Anyone got an actual link to that quote that is always banded about?

[Dal Riata Don]

Always seemed to have a genuine, almost child-like passion for the game when I saw him in documentaries and whatnot.

 

Took the loss to Aberdeen well enough.
