Main Page | See live article | Alphabetical index Aberdeen Football Club are a football team from Scotland, who compete in the Scottish Premier League. Formed in 1903 from the amalgamation of a number of clubs from Aberdeen they have been one of the top clubs in Scotland. Sir Alex Ferguson was a highly successful manager of the team in the 1980s, guiding them to three league championships, and famously to victory in the 1983 Cup Winners' Cup, defeating Real Madrid in the final. Since the latter half of the 1990s the club has declined somewhat, finding it harder to compete against the dominance of Rangers and Celtic. The team has even come close to being relegated out of the Premier on a few occasions. Famous players for the club include Willie Miller, Jim Leighton, Alex McLeish and Gordon Strachan.
