Aberdeen ’83: Once in a Lifetime

Documentary telling the definitive story of how Aberdeen FC defied expectations and ruled European football. Spanning an incredible five years in the club’s history between 1978 and 1983, this special group of players, managed by Sir Alex Ferguson, went from the nearly men of Scottish football to winning both the European Cup Winners Cup and European Super Cup, making them the number one team in Europe for that year.

With a stellar cast of contributors including Sir Alex Ferguson, Willie Miller, Alex McLeish, Gordon Strachan, Mark McGhee and many more, this film explores how Aberdeen destroyed the long-held domestic dominance of Rangers and Celtic, beating both Bayern Munich and Real Madrid on the way to their ‘Glory in Gothenburg’ in 1983.
