Aberdeen had a magnificent season in 1970/71… but dropped ‘daft points’ after the main stand fire and really had to win to keep the title race ‘live’. 3 minutes in Harry Hood basically clinched the title .. despite the 1-1 final score https://afcheritage.org/matches/match-report?id=2982

Ushers Beer + Norseman Lager were desperate drinking pub horrors. they did a ‘Lorimers’ rebrand / makeover in the mid 70’s… same shite beer with new badge. the old stadium advert boards occasionally from back in the day usually evoke a ‘Hovis music’ vibe.

Later commemorated by the Clash song ‘I Fought D.Law and D.Law Won’
