The Aberdeen fans who sailed to see European football glory

Ferries and even a fishing boat were used to take Aberdeen FC fans to Gothenburg, Sweden, for the 1983 Cup Winners' Cup Final.

About 12,000 Dons fans watched Alex Ferguson's side defeat Spanish giants Real Madrid.

Fans recall their stories 40 years on - including the fisherman who spent eight days at sea leading up to going to the match.

Aberdeen are the last Scottish side to win a European trophy.
