Aberdeen 2 Real Madrid 1 - John Hewitt Goal - Commentary Version - 1983 European Cup Winners' Cup Final - Football Print - Book Cover Poster (Various Sizes)

This print is the perfect gift for any Aberdeen fan as an iconic football moment is captured in this classic book cover poster.

On a magical night in Gothenburg, Aberdeen faced the giants of world football, Real Madrid, in the 1983 European Cup Winners' Cup Final.

The Dons were huge underdogs but took a seventh minute lead with a goal by Eric Black. Madrid levelled shortly after with a penalty from Juanito. At half time the score remained 1 - 1 and after a tense second half the game went into extra time.

In the 112th minute Alex Ferguson's side took a shock lead. Peter Weir played a delightful ball to Mark McGhee on the left wing who crossed for John Hewitt to head past Agustín. Aberdeen were in dreamland and held on to secure one of the most remarkable European results in the history of the game. All that remained was for Willie Miller to lift the trophy and the celebrations to begin.

The title of the book 'Hewitt waiting in the middle' is taken from the ITV television commentary by the late, great Brian Moore.

Another version is available with the title 'The Glory of Gothenburg'.
