1979 was the year everything changed and the year that changed everything. On the football field Aberdeen and Dundee United exploded onto the scene, aiming to end the Old Firm's domination of the Scottish game. Sir Alex Ferguson, Jim McLean, Alex McLeish, Mark McGhee, Hamish McAlpine and Paul Hegarty tell the story. While the north east's season ended in triumph, there was also disgrace as the Scottish Cup Final descended into a full-scale riot.
