Overview
"As a Dons fan who was fortunate enough to experience these times, I was pleased to discover lots of new background. I can recommend the book to any Dons fan, as even those who were "there" will learn some more, while younger fans might learn about the Golden Era."
Aberdeen''s Golden Era: The Sir Alex Ferguson Years is an in-depth look at the most successful period in Aberdeen FC history - a footballing success story like no other.
From 1978 to 1986, under the management of Ferguson, the club not only dominated Scottish football, but two European titles in 1983 made them a household name throughout the continent. Ten major trophies in seven seasons brought unprecedented success to a club that had previously amassed half of that total from 75 years in existence.
The arrival of a young, driven manager honed in the tough streets of Glasgow, allied with an up-and-coming Aberdeen side, was a recipe for success. The city of Aberdeen was just beginning to enjoy the affluence that came from a bustling oil industry. The club reflected that success in a way that had never been seen before or since.
Aberdeen as a club had huge untapped potential, but it needed the right manager to take things forward. Alex Ferguson was that man.
