Dons fans relive Euro glory
Aberdeen parade
Several players from the winning side took part in the parade
Hundreds of Aberdeen fans took to the city's streets to relive the club's greatest night of European glory.

A parade was held in the city centre to mark the 20th anniversary of the club's 2-1 victory over Real Madrid in the European Cup Winners' Cup final.

The event was also part of the celebrations for the club's 100th anniversary.

Aberdeen were the last Scottish side to lift a European trophy.

The 1983 success over Real Madrid in Gothenburg was followed by victory over Hamburg in the European Supercup.

Many of the players from the Gothenburg side took part in Sunday's parade, including Mark McGhee, Jim Leighton and John Hewitt - the scorer of the winning goal in extra time.

The centenary parade was followed by a special screening of the Real Madrid match at Aberdeen Exhibition and Conference Centre.

A range of activities also took place at the club's Pittodrie Stadium after the parade.
