Aberdeen History
The current Aberdeen Football Club came about in 1903 when local clubs Victoria United and Orion merged with the preexisting Aberdeen FC.
One year after its founding, the club was elected to the Scottish Second Division. After just one year, they were elected to the top tier, where they have played ever since.
While Celtic and Rangers justifiably grab much of the attention in the Scottish game, Aberdeen are one of the most successful clubs outside of the Old Firm.
Their most prominent period came in the late 1970s and 1980s, under the guidance of manager Alex Ferguson. Over a seven-year span, the club won three of its four league titles, four Scottish Cups, one League Cup, and the UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup and Super Cup.
After Ferguson left for what would be a legendary career at Manchester United, things haven’t been so rosy for Aberdeen. Then again, it hasn’t been any easier for the rest of the league, either. In fact, Aberdeen’s title in 1985 makes them the last team other than Celtic or Rangers to have won the league.
However, they have snuck in a few moments of glory in the decades since the glory days. The Scottish Cup was won in 1990, along with League Cup triumphs in ’90, ’96, and 2014.
Aberdeen has played at Pittodrie Stadium for their entire modern existence, while the original Aberdeen FC played there as well. It is the fourth-largest stadium in Scotland and has hosted national team games for the national football and rugby teams.
