Silvery_Moon Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 I've probably had more requests for this match than any other. Jimmy Sandison opened the scoring for Hearts then did his 'famous' goal celebration with Scott Crabbe. A Charlie Nicholas double had us in trouble before Iain Ferguson saved us late on by scoring from the rebound of a rare Robbo penalty miss. Walter Kidd got sent off at the end. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rd_LVCDH7bk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le Chat Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Great stuff. I'd almost forgotten that we used to take 4 or 5 thousand up there regularly. Top days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Old Tolbooth Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 I used to love those days at Pittodrie when we used to take between 3-5000 and cram them in the Beach End. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo Bill Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Great stuff from two very good teams. I used to love Pittodrie's Beach End, and note the funny wee stand attached onto the side of it that is barely inside the stadium. From a fashion perspective, this was the last time shorts really were short. Great to see the candy-stripe strip. I always felt that Jimmy Sandison deserved a bit more than 84 games for Hearts. He never seemed to let us down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamhammer Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 I was on the pitch at the equaliser. Not cos I'm hard but cos there was a big surge and I fell on. Used to love goin up there. They had a good side then. More often than not we got pumped but I liked stopping in Stonehaven for a wee drink on the way up and in Perth for chips on the way back. I didn't remember Zico getting sent off. Must have been concussed. Good times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adi Dassler Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Yaaaaasss! Been waiting for this, nice one p0ab2. Talking of Stonehaven, do any buses still stop there? I have vivid memories of Hearts fans running amok there on quite a few occasions. Of course this behaviour was totally unacceptable and brought shame on our club. Thankfully this element of out support appear to have been sine died by post 1994 supporters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannymack Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 I got to know a few Aberdeen casuals through working up North and they always regarded Hearts fans as the hardest to shake up, i remember many a fracas on Hamburger Hill but despite this slight slur on Hearts' reputation, they also said outside the Old Squirm, Hearts were the only fans to bring a large support. Aberdeen was ALWAYS a great trip, reeking in Brechin, stoned in Stonehaven, melted in Montrose.. ahhh the memories. Great to see the Beach End packed viewed from the Paddock End in the goal replay.

The White Cockade Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Remember it well, JC always seemed to play well up there anyone remember how the bus seemed to take forever to get up there but only seemed to take half the time to get home? Dons still had a good team in those days and we were even better Charlie Nick and Ian Ferguson were two talented players who should have done more with their careers Always like watching old games with Henry and Zico playing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kylelauren01 Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Went to that game on the Craigmillar Heartsb bus where the start of drinking was ridiculous o'clock. Can't recall much about the game but when Zico got sent off it was like he had scored winner in the Scottish Cup Final - think Rudi adulation & multiply it by 10. It was the start of Zico being afforded legendary status. Big travelling support but not as rowdy as a trip to Tannadice used to be standing on the steepest terracing in the world - aah memory lane!

All roads lead to Gorgie Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Big travelling support but not as rowdy as a trip to Tannadice used to be standing on the steepest terracing in the world - aah memory lane! I remember getting caught in a huge surge on the big terrace at Tannadice. They had just put the roof over it and the place was buzzing. Scary but great fun all the same. Not much health and safety them and so much better for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albishop Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Thanks for uploading - brings back fond memories of the game. Always a great trip to Pittroddie in those days. I always liked Fergie, but somehow (despite his goals) he didn't seem to click in the Hearts team as well as I thought/hoped he would. JC is still magic though!

SectionDJambo Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Aberdeen was always a great day out, enjoyed by many. Probably only a fiver to get in and see the difference in the number of punters rolling up. Pittodrie lost a major part of it's soul when they knocked down the Beach End. Always remember a mid week match when Robbo hit a screamer free kick into the top corner with a few mnutes to go, to send the place into bedlam. We won 2-0 that night, and another big support even though it was a night game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a week that was. Oh if only Rangers hadn't thrown money at winning the title in the late 80s/early 90s. We were more than a match for most at that time, only their squad depth beat us.

dougc Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 I'll always remember this match as the first time I took my son to Pittodrie to see the famous. He was 10 and had been born and brought up near Aberdeen supporting his local team (I've always been a Jambo but with no family history or tradition), so we went to the South Stand without colours on and sat near the front. When we scored like most fans I found it impossible not to cheer my team's goal and received some light hearted stick from those round us. Their first goal saw some more abuse shouted at me and this increased with their second. But I was on my best behaviour for my boy. The penalty to us was always going to be a goal so I sat on my hands to control myself. When Snelders saved it I was the only person in the South Stand remaining seated and when it was hammered in by Ferguson everyone near me slumped to their seats, I stood and shouted " you f-ing beauty" then took my son by the hand and said "it's time to go". We didn't see the red card and I had forgotten all about it until watching this video again. The other great memory I have of watching my team up here was around 1970 when Donald Ford scored a hat-trick to win 3-2 (I think) and on my way to the bus station to catch a country bus home I made the mistake of jumping on a corporation bus with my JT's scarf on, only to jump off again at the next corner before I got kicked in ! Happy days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Francis Albert Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Loved the candy stripe shirt.. loved the goal threat that we had in that team.. Agreed. Great to see a proper maroon and white away strip. If there has to be a change of strip every season why can't we play variations on maroon and white for the away strip as we do for the home strip?
