Aberdeen FC 'The Don', Season 1983/84: Aberdeen v Akranes, 28 September 1983 matchday programme — European Cup-Winners' Cup holders; Alex Ferguson, Archie Knox, Eric Black profile

Official matchday programme for the European Cup-Winners' Cup, first round second leg: Aberdeen v Akranes, 28 September 1983, at Pittodrie Stadium, Aberdeen. Official matchday magazine, 40p, evening kick-off. The cover carries a dressing-room celebration photograph; inside, a profile on Eric Black. 'Welcome': it's Europe again, and a warm Scottish welcome is extended to the opponents from Iceland — 'not that we want to be too welcoming out on the park though'. As Cup-Winners' Cup holders the going will be tough all the way, but a repeat performance of last year is what is aimed at. Europe provides a nice break in the season, nights facing different teams, new faces adding spice, and the extra atmosphere of a crowd who savour continental sides; tonight the job begun in Iceland a fortnight earlier is to be finished. Chairman R. M. Donald; vice-chairman C. Anderson OBE; director I. R. Donald; manager A. Ferguson; assistant manager A. Knox; secretary I. J. Taggart; physiotherapist David Wylie; trainer Teddy Scott; club doctor Dr W. B. Catto. Printed by Hemmings & Capey (Leicester) Ltd. Aberdeen Football Club Ltd, Pittodrie Stadium, Aberdeen.
