While clearly, the likes of Celtic and Rangers have ruled the roost in Scottish football for an age, pretty much since the start of football in the country, Aberdeen have also made their mark and, in doing so, have secured entry to European competitions on many occasions and have regularly punched above their weight.
Aberdeen’s first European foray came in 1967/68 when they got to the European Cup Winners’ Cup Second Round, where they lost to Standard Liege, having beaten KR Rekyavik 14-1 in the First Round.
Throughout the 1970s, they competed in European competitions almost every season, though never got further than the Second Round. Things changed after a manager by the name of Alex Ferguson took over.
The Manchester United legend helped Aberdeen to the Scottish Premiership title, which saw them compete in the European Cup for the first time in 1980/81. Having beaten Austrian side Austria Memphis, they had the misfortune to be drawn against Liverpool, who comfortably beat them 5-0 on aggregate.
A run to the UEFA Cup Third Round followed the next season, and then in 1982/83, Aberdeen enjoyed their best-ever European achievement.
They were competing in a very competitive European Cup Winners’ Cup and showed just what they were capable of by beating mighty Bayern Munich in the Quarter-Finals with goals from Neil Simpson, Alex McLeish, and John Hewitt, securing them a 3-2 home win to book their place in the Semi-Finals.
Here they met Belgian side Waterschei, and they thumped them 5-1 at home and secured an overall 5-2 aggregate win to book a final against icons of Europe, Real Madrid. They met their illustrious Spanish opponents in Gothenburg, and not many would have backed the Scots to upset the odds and win in this major David vs. Goliath battle.
Eric Black gave Aberdeen the surprise lead after seven minutes, but Juanito leveled just seven minutes later. The game ebbed and flowed and went into extra time, and that’s when history was made by the Scottish outfit. John Hewitt scored a famous diving header in the 112th minute to secure the European Cup Winners’ Cup crown.
Sir Alex Ferguson went on to move to Old Trafford in 1986 and secure a number of other European triumphs, but arguably none as monumental as the one he secured in Sweden.
The following season they entered the European Cup Winners’ Cup as the holders of the trophy and once again went on a lengthy run, getting all the way to the Semi-Finals, where they lost to Portuguese side FC Porto.
Having won another domestic title in 1983/84, their second in five years, Ferguson brought Aberdeen back to the European Cup. In 1984/85, they were knocked out in the First Round by Dynamo Berlin, but after a third Scottish Championship crown, they returned to the premier European competition for 1985/86.
On this occasion, they did well to get to the Quarter-Finals, only to lose to IFK Goteborg on away goals.
In 2007/08, after a series of false starts and early exits, Aberdeen got to the Third Round of the UEFA Cup, where Bayern Munich thumped them 7-3 on aggregate. Since then, the Dons have not fared that well in Europe but will be looking to rectify this when they go into Conference League action in the coming season.
