On a rainy night in Gothenburg in May 1983 twelve young Scotsmen
turned the footballing world on its head. Against all the odds, those
players took on the might of Spanish giants Real Madrid, and beat them
convincingly. Aberdeen were winners of the European Cup Winners Cup.
The manager, Alex Ferguson, would go on to become one of the greats,
his team Pittodrie legends. The tale of that season, the remarkable
triumph in the Ullevi Stadium and of the men who made it possible has
never fully been told - until now. "Glory In Gothenburg" goes behind
the scenes, deep into the inner sanctum, and through a series of
in-depth interviews with all the main characters reveals what made
that side and those players so special and what drove them on to
achieve unparalleled success. Thirty years later, the story remains
one of the most astonishing in the history of Scottish football.
