Overview

And did you know Pittodrie's dugouts were the first in Britain? Have you heard the one about the Dons' keeper who wore waterproofs and used an umbrella? Or how about the time Aberdeen (playing as the 'Washington Whips') were crowned champions of America? All these stories and hundreds more appear in a brilliantly researched collection of trivia - essential for any fan who holds the riches of the Reds' history close to their heart.
