'Jim's Views': more than two years earlier Dunfermline celebrated their centenary, and \u003cb\u003eAberdeen, then managed by ex-Par Alex Ferguson, were kind enough to provide the opposition\u003c\/b\u003e as the Pars set the celebration ball rolling. There was a lot at stake that night - the young pretenders, keen to establish themselves as a force to be reckoned with, against a full-strength Aberdeen side that had won almost every conceivable trophy and was being called, alongside Dundee United, the New Firm; few would have given the lowly Pars any chance, and the win that followed gave the club the inspiration and the new-found faith it needed. Aberdeen, \u003cb\u003enow managed by Fifer Ian Porterfield, have successfully regrouped since the sudden departure of Alex Ferguson for pastures new at Old Trafford\u003c\/b\u003e, and remain one of the most talented and talent-packed outfits in the country.
