Gothenburg Greats
Following on from the Inaugural 21 Athletes who were enrolled into the Aberdeen Sporting Hall of Fame, in 2006, it had been agreed to make a Special Award to the Gothenburg Greats from Aberdeen Football Club, who had won the European Cup Winners Cup in 1983.
At a Civic Reception hosted by Aberdeen City Council, each Player received a beautiful engraved Trophy (Sponsored by Colin Cameron of the City's Masada, Kirkgate and Bridge Bars) and a Commemorative Granite Plaque (Sponsored by Robertsons Granite) was also presented.
