Was it? This is the XI for that famous game at Pittodrie:
1Hollis
2Reid
3Hammell
14Lasley
5Hutchinson
6McManusSubstituted forMcFaddenat 76'minutes
25AinsworthSubstituted forAnierat 18'minutes
11VigursBooked at 41minsSubstituted forLeitchat 72'minutes
9Sutton
20Kerr
17Francis-Angol
I reckon Hutchison, Ainsworth and Sutton would get into our current XI from that lot, when you consider the ages of Hammell and Lasley at that time.
Make no mistake- that team he took to second in the league was mediocre at best, with some absolute dross in amongst it.
