A CONTROVERSIAL. match, screened live across Britain, saw Hibs pass up several early chances before allowing Aberdeen to carry the three points back to Pittodrie. The game swung around the dismissal of Pat Mcginlay on the hour mark (red-carded for an alleged clash with Aberdeen’s Stephen Glass) and a delay confirming that a Billy Dodds header had crossed the line for Aberdeen’s second on 32 minutes. Down to ten men. Hibs were never quite able to claw their way hack into the game, despite a Frantic last couple of minutes sparked off by another fine goal from Kevin Harper.

DRYBROUGH CUP FINAL PREVIEW

By FRASER ELDER (Impact Sports Syndication)
Us the Drybrough Cup for goals I And the new Scottish season has got off to something of a flier thanks to the fresh infusion of a sponsored tourney specifically slanted at getting the ball in the net
In the space of a week Scottish football fans have seen a new look start to the season and it’s hard to imagine how interest in any season could be built up with the almost casual kick-about between trial teams.
I’m sure every fan can remember ihose Whites versus Blues or Reds versus Stripes trial games that ushered in each season in every ground.
Now sponsored football has injected a real bite into the game and before very long this kind of competition will become a must on the calendar.
In the past few days the Scottish goal merchants have been hitting the headlines thanks to their consistency last season. In the First Division Celtic cracked home 89 goals with Harry Hood leading the way and championship challengers Aberdeen came up with 68. Joe Harper paying his way with around a third of that total.
Other Drybrough Cup entrants. St. John- stone and Airdrie scored 59 and 60 respectively and with the four totals in mind, the efforts of the clubs this term win make interesting reading
Heading for a spell in the top grade are Partick Thistle and East Fife who between them scored a total of 164 goals (78/86) and
they were joined by Dumbarton and Arbroath, the two genuine Second Division outfits,
It’s refreshing to note the last named sides put together 167 goals to claim a Drybrough Cup place and there seems little doubt that forwards in Div II will be all out this season to emulate the pioneers in the new tourney.
Much has been written and talked about new ideas for football and envious eves have often been cast south at the thrilling Watney Cup sagas which lift the English curtain on new seasons
The events of the past week have proved Scotland is about to get into step and besides today’s Fmaliscs, every partici – pating club deserves full credit for blasting the northern game firmly into the 1971 -72 season
For clubs like Celtic, Aberdeen, and St. Johnstone the week has given them the perfect chance to get onto a suitable wavelength for coming European clashes.
Whatever the outcome of today’s Final.
the first big football occasion of season 1971 -72 . . . it seems to me the fans will applaud th,s refreshing start for the weeks and months to come.
It’s said football will soon be a 12 months in every year game. That may be so. But if standards are improved, more goals are scored and the fans everywhere get full value for money I) raise a glass of Drybrough’s to that I

Scottish Football Needs Sponsorship

Says ALEX CAMERON
Daily Record
Like a pint of their Keg Heavy, there’s more to the Drybrough Cup Tournament than the inviting froth on the top.
It has been a controversial £25,000-worth of valuable soccer sponsorship from the start with not less than £1,000 going to each club.
The brew has been challenged, but it survived the Test of an all-club League vote on who should be required to participate. A handsome majority ruled that clubs were compelled to take part.
The Drybrough draught has meant well- paid limber-ups as well as welcome buy for clubs like Dumbarton, St. Johnstone, Partick Thistle, East Fife, Airdrie and Arbroath.
True, Celtic and Aberdeen have fans enough to live in the style the others would clearly like to become accustomed to-and without sponsorship. But as a general rule the benefactors from the world of business could not be more welcome in the changing world of football.
Scottish clubs, sadly. are feeling the pinch because fewer and fewer bids are being made for their players from England. Ally MacLeod. manager of Ayr Utd., who is something of an expert in the currently restricted market, forecasts that there will be even fewer transfer moves in the near future.
Dunfermline’s cash crisis would have come years ago hut for the money from transfers hut these ended with the £40.000 they got from Coventry for Roy Barry. Now the Fifers have moved into an austerity age and they, like others, are looking very much to sponsorship.
Big clubs like Celtic sce the big advantages of sponsorship for the poorer clubs.
Run the Drybrough way sponsorship is a boon. For, the day the tournament was announced, Managing Director Ross Gibbons told me on T.V. that his firm would not interfere in the running of the competition. “That” he said, “iS up to the Scottish League, They will organise the football aspect of it.”
This is really the only way sport and business can get along. In my view to try to achieve finalists with the widest appeal by seedings merely to please the sponsor gives a competition a phoney look.
There has been nothing like this connected with the zippy, have-a-go Drybrough tournament in which the qualifiers were chosen because of their ability to score goals. It’s goals the fans want most of all with style a close second——and 1 hope that’s what they see in this final.
It’s very likely that Drybrough’s have helped to interest others in sponsorship as a sales aid. In Britain, we have been curiously slow to encourage sponsorship.
Not so other countries. In South America, for instance, the great Pele has been able to stay with his Santos club only because of the commercial contracts to which he has lent his name.
Pele will advertise anything from . . . well, er . . . a pint to a barrel of beer. And he is now the best-heeled soccer gent in the world.
The Scottish League are just as aware as his lordship Pele of the benefits big business can bring. That is why, after careful thought, they took up L)ryhrough’s offer.
The Juniors got their share, too, and their sponsored tournament was a big success thanks to Drybrough’s.
One of the keenest of all Scotish clubs bosses on sponsorship is L)irector-Manager Hal Stewart. of Morton, who says. “Sponsorship is the thing of the future. The more money which goes into a game the better. Sponsors can gain from football, but let’s remember the benefits are mutual.”
Hal’s one regret is that Morton failed to qualify for this year’s Dryhrough Cup. Perhaps next time .

PEN PICTURES OF ABERDEEN

BOBBY CLARK (Goalkeeper). 6 ft. 12 St. Clark is at the moment Scotland’s number one keeper and has represented Scotland in their last five Internationals. First capped in 1967 against Wales, Clark joined Aberdeen from Queen’s Park in 1965 and in that time has proved to be a first class buy. At one stage of his career, it looked as if he was bound for Rangers, but Bobby remained at Pittodrie and is today the established number one.
HENNING BOEL (Full-back). 5 ft. 11 ins. 12 St. 7 lbs. Henning joined Aberdeen from American League side Washington Whipps in 1968 and has been an ever present first team man since. A Danish International, he is considered to be one of the toughest full-back’s in the First Division. He won a Scottish Cup medal with Aberdeen two seasons ago.
GEORGE MURRAY (Full-back). 5 ft. 11 ins. 11 St. 7 lbs. George joined Aberdeen from Motherwell four years ago and has proved to be a grand buy. Like Boel, George is a tough tackling back and has played a vital part in Aberdeen’s recent successes. George’s brother Cameron is with Second Division side St. Mirren.
STEVE MURRAY (Wing-half). 5 ft. 8 ins. 11 St. Steve is Aberdeen’s most expensive signing. Signed from Dundee for a £50,000 fee some 18 months ago Steve played a big part in the Dons near miss Championship run last term and is on the verge of full International honours. One of the finest passers of the ball in Scotland, Murray reads a game well and at 24 has many more years of top class soccer ahead of him.
TOMMY McMILLAN (Centre-half). 6 ft. 11 St. 3 lbs. McMillan has been with Aberdeen for six seasons, signing in 1965 from junior side Neilston. Strong and commanding in the air, Tommy played a vital part in Aberdeen’s Scottish Cup win over Celtic. Although he is receiving tough competition from youngster Willie Young for the number five berth, Tommy is at the moment the number one choice.
MARTIN BUCHAN (Wing-half). 5 ft. 9 ins. 11 St. The youngest and one of the finest club skippers in the First Division, Buchan was the man who led Aberdeen to Scottish Cup glory An International, Buchan is a quiet fellow off the field and prefers to lead by example rather than command. One of the finest mid-field players in Scotland. he looks set for further International caps in the near future.
ALEX WILLOUGHBY (Right-wing). 5 ft. 8 iflS. 10 st. 5 lbs. Alex joined the Dons from Rangers in 1969 for a substantial fee. Although he played much of his football last season as substitute, he nevertheless played a vital part in the Pittodrie set-up. Alex was with Rangers for nine years and in that time made over 120 appearances for the light-blues. A cousin of Jim Forrest. Alex is 26 years of age and operates mainly in mid-field.
DAVID ROBB (Inside-forward). 5 ft. 11 ins. 12 St. Davy joined Aberdeen after spell with Chelsea in 1965 and has in the past couple of seasons emerged as a star. A regular in the Scotland team, Davy scores goals as well as making them and is considered one of the most dangerous forwards in Scotland.
JIM FORREST (Centie-foward). 5 ft. 7 ins. 10 St. 4 lbs. Jim emerged last season as a real force in the front line. After a lean spell in English football with Preston North End, Jim joined the Dons in 1968 for a £25,000 fee. He was recalled to the Scotland team last season after an absence of four years and proved he was well worth a second chance.
JOE HARPER (Centre-forward). 5 ft. 7 ins. 10 St. 7 lbs. Harper was Aberdeen’s top scorer last season with 27 goals and was one of the main reasons why the Dons managed to secure a Drybrough Cup place. Although Joe hit a lean spell towards the end of the season and indeed lost his first team place, he was nevertheless a vital cog in the Pittodrie wheel. Joined Aberdeen from Morton for a £35,000 fee two years ago after a spell in English football with H uddersfield.
ARTHUR GRAHAM (Left-wing). 5 ft. 7 ins. 10 St. One of the biggest prospects in Scotland, Graham established himself in the side in the Scottish Cup final against Celtic and played a vital part in the Dons victory. Still only 18 years of age, Graham looks certain to become a really big name.
JIM HERMISTON (Full-back). 5 ft. 9 ins, joined Aberdeen in 1965, and has been an almost regular first team man since. He was a member of the Cup winning side and made nearly 40 first team appearances last term.
lAIN TAYLOR (lnside-forwad). 5 ft. 6 ins. 10 St. Taylor, who joined the Dons in 1965 from local junior side Banks 0’ Dee, made around 20 first team appearances last season and found the net on five occasions Although small in build, he is a hard player to dispossess.

ALL ABOUT THE CELTIC PLAYERS

EVAN WILLIAMS (Goalkeeper). 5 ft 11 ins. 12 St. Williams joined Celtic from Wolves just two years ago after a rather lean time in the English League and soon established himself in the side. Good in the air, Williams was for some time with Third Lanark, the now defunct Scottish League club. Faces a strong challenge from John Fallon for the first team spot.
DAVID HAY (Full-back). 5 ft. 8 ins. 10 St. 7 lbs. Reckoned by many to be the finest back north of the border and is an established International. Hay joined Celtic in 1965 and for the past two seasons has been a regular first team man. Hay reads a game well and likes to come up and have a crack at goal.
TOMMY GEMMELL (Full-back). 6 ft. 12 st. Last season was not Gemmells best for the club and he spent much of the season in the reserve side. Nevertheless, on his day, there are few better than big ‘Tam. He joined Celtic ten seasons ago and has given the club great service.
JIM BROGAN (Wing-half). 5 ft. 8 ins. 11 si. 7 lbs. Last season was without doubt, Jim’s best for the club and as well as establishing himself firmly at Parkhead, he also won a place in the Scotland side. One of the hardest tackling players in Scotland, Jim has been with Celtic for nine seasons, joining them from junior football.
BILLY McNEILL (Centre-ha/f). 6 ft. 1 in. 1 2 st. Billy as well as being club skipper, is also Celtic’s longest serving player. He joined the club in 1957 from Blantyre Vics and in his time at Parkhead has led Celtic to every honour possible. He was captain of the European Cup winning side in 1967 and also led the side which lost the 1970 final.
GEORGE CONNELLY (Ha/f-back). 6 ft. 1 in. 12 si. George joined Celtic in 1966 and has been groomed to take over the number five spot when McNeill hangs up his boots. Like McNeill, Connelly is good in the air and reads a game well. An under 23 cap, he was a regular first team man last term.
JIM CRAIG (Full-back). 5 ft 11 ins. 11 st. 12 lbs. Jim, a dentist as well as a footballer, has been with Celtic for six years, joining them in 1965 from Glasgow University. In his time at Parkhead he has won almost every honour possible and has been capped for Scotland.
JIMMY JOHNSTONE (R,ghr-wing). 5 ft.
4 ins. 9 St. 2 lbs. Without doubt, Jimmy John-
stone is one of the greatest wingers of all time.
He joined Celtic ten years ago and in that time
has played a vital part rn taking them to the top. A much capped International, Johnstone is the man the Continentals call the ‘flea’ and he is admired wherever he plays.
TOM CALLAGHAN (lnside-fo,wa,d). 5 ft. 10 ins. 11 st. Callaghan joined Celtic from Dunfermline three seasons ago for a fee believed to be in the region of £35.000. It was only last season that he began to really show his worth with Celtic. A League International. Callaghan is brother of Dunfermline full-back Willie.
HARRY HOOD (Cent,edorwaid). 5 ft. 10 ins. 11 st, Hood is the most expensive signing in the history of the club, coming to Parkhead in 1969 for a £40,000 fee from Clyde. He also had a spell with Sunderland. but never really settled. He was Scotland’s top scorer last term with more than thirty goals to his credit and is deadly in front of goal.
WILLIE WALLACE (Centre-forward). 5 ft 8 ins. 11 St. 3 lbs.

CELTIC ACE – Jimmy Johnstone, TALKS ABOUT THE DRYBROUGH CUP

Football in the north has, in the past few years, become a game of defence against defence, according to Celtic star Jimmy Johnstone and he firmly believes the Drybrough Cup could be the answer to combat the defensive outlook.
The man on the terracing goes to a football match to see goals. But what does he see’? Defence against defence. It seems more and more sides in Scotland are Concentrating on defensive football.
It is no exaggeration to say that many of the teams who play Celtic regard a one or LWO goal defeat as a moral victory. They go out Ofl the park with the attitude that if they can keep the score down by playing defensive tootball then they will have done a good job.
I personally respect a side far more which comes at us and even if they lose heavily they are at least trying to score goals. This is where the Drybrough Cup can help.
Entry into the competition can be gained only by scoring goals and therefore any side which concentrates on purely defensive football throughout the season has no chance of entry.
When one considers the money to be made from sponsored football, then surely the

JIMMY JOHNSTONE—continued

Drybrough Cup is an incentive to go out and get goals.
Last season the Scottish sides involved in the Texaco Cup gave a good account of themselves against lnglish opposition, yet at International level Scotland were OflCC again trounced by England. Why does Jimmy think this is?
The answer is simple. team work. While England players play as a team, Scotland depend on individual talent and as everyone knows, team work will always win the day.
The Scottish sides did well in the Texaco because they were club sides, used to playing as a team, just as the England International side gives the impression of playing as a ‘club side’.
Celtic play as a club side. The manager Mr. Stein, has little time for players interested in only themselves and demands that everyone plays for the benefit of the club. This is why Celtic have been successful. They play as a team and have one object in mind— scoring goals.
Many people felt Celtic lost sonic of their shine last season. Asked if he thinks (his is so, Jimmy comments:
Celtic are as good today as they were five years ago. We won the Championship last season, the Scottish Cup and were beaten finalists in the League Cup and we also reached the last eight of the European Cup.
If we are slipping. it doesn’t say much for the other 17 First Division sides.
Honestly I don’t think anyone is going to challenge us this season. In my opinion Celtic are good for a long time yet. When we stop winning the Championship then maybe people can turn round and say we are slipping. Rut until that happens. we arc still in front.
Aberdeen put in a strong challenge last season, but I think the loss of their manager, Eddie Turnbull, will prove a big blow to them. He is dedicated to the game and it will be hard to replace him at Pittodrie.
Perhaps the Dons will come back in a couple of years. but they will take time to gather themselves.
Celtic were originally against taking part in the Drybrough. Why does .Johnstone think this was so?
Let’s be honest we don’t need the cash from the competition. But don’t get me wrong. The Drybrough Cup is a good thing for the game and for the smaller teams it has proved to be a first class proposition financially.
Perhaps the tournament will also sound the death knell for defensive football in Scotland and if that is so, then as far as I am concerned long may it continue.

James (“Jim”) Leighton (born 24 July 1958 in Johnstone) is a former football goalkeeper. Among the clubs he played for are Aberdeen (two spells), Manchester United and Hibernian. He joined Aberdeen from Dalry Thistle in 1978. He also won 91 international caps for Scotland, a number surpassed only by Kenny Dalglish.

It was during his initial spell at Aberdeen where Leighton achieved his greatest success, under the management of Alex Ferguson in the early to mid 1980s. Ferguson’s Aberdeen side won the Scottish Cup four times, the Scottish League Cup twice, as well as the Cup Winners’ Cup in 1983 and two Scottish Premier League titles in 1984 and 1985.

Leighton’s reliability and terrific will to win gained respect from players and pundits everywhere. English keeper Peter Shilton said of him: “Scotland have solved their goalkeeper problem.” Even the outspoken Brian Clough said: “Jim Leighton is a rare bird – a Scottish goalkeeper that can be relied on.”

In 1988, Leighton followed Ferguson to Manchester United. His first season at Old Trafford was relatively successful but his second was marked by a loss of form and confidence. This culminated in his being dropped in favour of Les Sealey for the FA Cup final replay against Crystal Palace in 1990.

Sealey retained the position of first choice goalkeeper for the following season and Leighton faded from view, eventually returning to Scottish football with Dundee after loan spells with Arsenal, Reading and Sheffield United.

His move to Hibernian marked a revival in his fortunes, including a return to the national team. Leighton returned to Aberdeen, retiring from club football after the 2000 Scottish Cup final, which unfortunately saw him taken off injured after just 3 minutes. With forward Robbie Winters taking over goalkeeping duties, Aberdeen lost 4-0 to Rangers.

Leighton’s international career stretched over 16 years, from 1982 to 1998. He was an uncapped squad member for the 1982 World Cup, before making his debut against East Germany on October 13, 1982. Within two years he was his country’s No. 1, and he played in all of his country’s matches at the 1986, 1990 and 1998 World Cups, despite stiff competition for the keeper’s jersey from Andy Goram during the 1990s. He retired from international football in October 1998, at the age of 40.

Leighton is a member of the Scotland Football Hall of Fame, having won his 50th cap for Scotland in 1989. He is currently back with his old team Aberdeen as the club’s goalkeeping coach.

He first came to prominence playing in midfield for Scottish First Division side Clyde, but was converted to striker when he signed for Aberdeen, forging a prolific partnership with Joe Harper. After winning the Scottish Premier Division title in 1980, he had a four year spell with London club Tottenham Hotspur, where he won FA Cup winners medals in 1981 and 1982 and the UEFA Cup in 1984.

Archibald scored 77 goals in 189 appearances for Spurs between 1980 and 1984, forming successful striking partnerships with Garth Crooks and Mark Falco. He was a member of the Scottish national team at the 1982 and 1986 World Cups. In 1984 he joined Barcelona, where he was a popular figure until restrictions on fielding foreign players led to him being excluded from the squad in favour of Gary Lineker and Mark Hughes. He was loaned out to Blackburn Rovers for a spell prior to a surprise return to Scottish football with Hibernian. After a brief return to Catalonia with RCD Espanyol, he joined St Mirren and was influential in bringing former Barça teammate Victor Muñoz to the club.

Archibald’s later career saw him make a handful of appearances at a number of clubs in Scotland, England and Ireland, including a nostalgic return to Clyde. In 1994 he joined East Fife as player-manager.

Alex Miller (born 4 July 1949, in Glasgow)

Joseph Montgomery Harper (born January 11, 1948, in Greenock) was a Scottish footballer mainly remembered for his two spells with Aberdeen, during which he became the club’s record goalscorer.

Club career

Harper started his professional career with Morton, and returned to the club after a brief, unhappy spell with Huddersfield Town. He had at times a difficult relationship with some Morton supporters, but most fans recognized his ability and enthusiasm.

In 1969, Aberdeen manager Eddie Turnbull paid £40,000 to sign Harper for Aberdeen and in his first season with the Dons he helped them win the Scottish Cup for the second time in their history. Harper opened the scoring from the penalty spot as pre-match favourites Celtic were defeated 3-1. He rapidly developed a reputation as a prodigious goalscorer and following a record-breaking haul of 33 goals in 34 league games in the 1971-72 season was the subject of much interest from English scouts.

Everton paid £180,000 for his services in December 1972 but his time in English football was not as productive as his Pittodrie spell and he returned to Scotland with Hibernian in early 1974, for the second time signed by Eddie Turnbull who had by this stage moved to Easter Road. Harper rediscovered his Aberdeen-era form in Edinburgh and scored a hat-trick in the 1975-76 League Cup final. However John “Dixie” Deans also scored a hat-trick that day, and Celtic defeated Hibs 6-3.

Harper returned to Aberdeen for the start of the 1976-77 season in a £50,000 deal and inspired instant success, the Dons defeating Celtic 2-1 (aet) to win the League Cup in November. Harper made further final appearances in each of the next two seasons, as Aberdeen lost both the 1977-78 Scottish Cup final and the 1978-79 League Cup final to Rangers, by a scoreline of 2-1 on each occasion. By the 1979-80 season he was considered a veteran and no longer a regular in the Dons first team but his seven goals helped Aberdeen to their first league title since 1954-55. He left Pittodrie after only one appearance the following season.

In total Harper scored 205 competitive goals for Aberdeen, a club record. Of that total, 125 were scored in league fixtures, 72 in domestic cup games (including the Drybrough Cup) and 8 in European competition. His iconic status amongst Aberdeen supporters was recognised when he was amongst the first players to be inducted to the club’s “Hall of Fame”.

International career

Harper first played for Scotland against Denmark in October 1972, scoring on his debut in a 4-1 win. He played in Scotland’s next game but then fell out of the international reckoning, only earning a recall in 1975. By coincidence, the occasion was another away match with Denmark but this was overshadowed by a controversial off-field incident as Harper and several team-mates were involved in a disturbance at a Copenhagen night club, leading the Scottish Football Association to issue him with a life ban from the national team. The ban was later lifted, and he was selected in the Scotland World Cup squad in 1978, appearing against Iran as Scotland exited in the first round.

Later life

In 1981 Harper was appointed manager of then Highland League side Peterhead. He helped the Blue Toon to a second place league finish but his reported wages were beyond the club’s means and he was replaced for the 1982-83 season by former Pittodrie team-mate Dave Smith.

Patrick Gordon Stanton the greatest ever player in the history of Hibernian? Not sure but but he definitely make s the short list.

Pat joined Hibernian from Bonnyrigg Rose Athletic in 1963.

Pat made his debut for the club against Motherwell in October that year. He quickly established himself in the first team, playing in defence or midfield, and featured in the club’s European victories over CF Barcelona, Liverpool, Real Madrid and Sporting Clube de Portugal in the 1960s and 1970s.

Pat has 16 caps earned between ’66 and ’74.

Pat was Scottish Football Writers Association player of the year 1970.

Stanton captained Hibernian to their 1972 League Cup win and also led them in their centenary year, but left the club in 1976 when he went to Celtic in a swap deal that took Jackie McNamara to Hibernian. It was at the Glasgow club that he completed his medals collection, winning the Scottish Cup and the Scottish League championship. He also won 16 caps for Scotland.

He got his start in management when Alex Ferguson made him his assistant at Aberdeen, and after learning the ropes there he was appointed manager at first Cowdenbeath and then Dunfermline Athletic, before he returned to Hibernian in 1981. His spell in the manager’s chair at Easter Road was not overly successful and he resigned in 1983.

Edward Hunter Turnbull (born 12 April 1923, Falkirk, Scotland) is a former Scottish professional footballer and manager.

During the 1950s he was one of the “Famous Five”, the Hibernian forward line. The others were Gordon Smith, Bobby Johnstone, Lawrie Reilly, and Willie Ormond. During his time with Hibernian they won three Scottish Football League titles, and in 1955 he was the first British player to score in a European club competition.

He was manager of Aberdeen between 1965 to 1971, during which he had some success, winning the Scottish Cup in 1970, and finishing second in the league in 1971.

After that he returned to Edinburgh to become manager of Hibernian. While at Hibernian they won the Scottish League Cup in 1972, and he masterminded their most famous victory, a 7-0 win over their rivals Heart of Midlothian at Tynecastle Stadium on the 1 January 1973.

In November 2007 Eddie became the fourth member of the famous five to inducted tino the Scottish Football Museum’s Hall of Fame.

THE fourth of Hibs’ Famous Five to be inducted into the Hall, with only Bobby Johnstone not yet included. A brilliant inside-left for Hibernian, he owns the distinction of being the first British player to score in European competition. Lost two Scottish Cup finals and made nine appearances for Scotland, including featuring in all three games at the 1958 World Cup finals in Sweden. However, it wasn’t until March last year that Turnbull was given a cap by the SFA as he had not played in any Home Internationals, the criteria by which ‘caps’ were awarded until 1976. He managed Aberdeen to Scottish Cup success in 1970 before returning to Easter Road as manager, where his charges lost the Scottish Cup finals of 1972 and 1979 before making amends with a 7-0 defeat of Hearts on New Year’s Day, 1973. Now aged 84, Turnbull recently released his autobiography.

We play for each for other, when we’re on the ball,
