On Saturday 28th November we are calling on all Dons fans to help us celebrate all things AFC as we hold our first ever official Retro Day at Pittodrie.

To mark the occasion all adult tickets have been reduced to the symbolic price of £19.03 as we welcome Ross County to Pittodrie.

Tickets for the match can be purchased online at afc.co.uk/tickets

To celebrate our Retro Day theme we asked The Red Army to vote for their greatest ever Aberdeen team and over 1000 fans took part by naming their ultimate Dons XI and manager.

Earlier this week we announced that Sir Alex Ferguson was unanimously voted as the man to take charge of the greatest ever Dons team. In terms of the team itself, Jim Leighton has been named in goal with Willie Miller, Stuart Kennedy, Russell Anderson and Alex McLeish set to play in front of him in defence.

Today we can reveal the midfielders that have been selected to join Neil Simpson in your side as well as the front two. The first man to be joining ‘Simmy’ in midfield is another Gothenburg Great who featured in over 70% of your team selections, Gordon Strachan. The current Scotland boss offered a real threat from midfield scoring 90 goals in 292 appearances, a record that most strikers would be proud of. 

Another creative midfielder who has been handed a place in this side by The Red Army arrived at Pittodrie for a fee of £300,000 in 1985 and went on to prove that he was worth every penny. Jim Bett has earned a place due to his cultured style of play and achieved double-cup winning success during his time in a red shirt.

The final place in midfield has been reserved for Eoin Jess, a player who lit up the 90s for most Dons fans. Famed for his creativity and ability on the ball Jess brought a smile to the face of many over two spells at the club and was named in almost half of your team selections.

We asked you to name your top two strikers and unsurprisingly Aberdeen’s all-time record goalscorer with 199 goals in 300 appearances, Joe Harper, secured a place in the frontline. ‘King Joey’ will be joined up front by a striker who joined The Dons for a fee of £500,000 in 1992, Duncan Shearer. Shearer was a popular figure thanks to his goalscoring exploits over five seasons at Pittodrie and his committed approach which made life difficult for defences throughout the country.

The complete Greatest Ever Aberdeen XI is:

The greatest ever Aberdeen team, as selected by The Red Army, will feature on a piece of artwork to be displayed within the RDS Concourse. Members of the greatest ever team will be on hand on match-day as we carry out the official unveiling.
