Eric Black

Obviously, the whole McLeish and Miller won the Cup for Aberdeen that afternoon.

But Eric Black obviously got the winning goal that afternoon.

Watched from the old schoolboy enclosure at Hampden, which for those of you not old enough to remember where that would have been, or I guess it probably didn't move around, but that was right at the front in the standing sections in front of the seats of the old main stand at Hampden.

So I had a good view of players' boots and socks for that afternoon.

I think a lot of the early departures from the Gothenburg side had been well signposted.

Strachan, McGee, obviously we knew well in advance of them playing their last match that they were away.

And Eric Black was publicly lambasted by the manager before he left.

But aye, Cooper seemed to come from nowhere that summer of 86.

Gary McAllister I thought was really good.

Him and Eric Black were great at Coventry.

Graeme Souness was an idol of mine.

Always wanted to play for Sui.

Alex Ferguson, when he was a manager at Aberdeen, and let's be honest, they were a fucking superb team.

He ran all his young players into the ground like Eric Black you know they were all retired loads of them were retired 26 27 couldn't play anymore all the injuries because they just played all the time and that was one of the things he said he learned about his you know as he developed and became an older coach manager he didn't play all his class of 92 every game He rested them.

He gave them time off.

He substituted them because he wanted to prolong their careers.

Welcome back here to the Mid-Morning Blitz on the Big 1050 WTKA.

Online all the time, thebig1050.com. That's Eric Black.

I'm Anthony Bellino.

By the way, if you don't follow on X, you probably should.

You bring a good player in and he's the man.

He brings a very good number two in, Eric Black.

Correct.

But it wouldn't happen now.

but who blames Pat Nevin for that so he's got to get out of jail for his card

I remember the day they were into administration I was there covering it in my days when I was the news correspondent for Sky Sports News and I saw the players walking out the ones that were made redundant Eric Black the outgoing manager But when we arrived, Pat Nevin was sitting on the front doorstep.

Looking disconsolate.

It's a great photo, that.
