That was a lot of legends in the studio together on Monday morning!

What a day at Captain Tom’s and Pittodrie. ❤️

We were joined by AFC fans from New Orleans, Ghent and Aberdeen, alongside long-serving AFC staff, three heroes from the 1983 team, a golfing legend and a broadcasting legend, all coming together with Terry McDermott and The Algiers to record crowd vocals for the track.

The day didn’t stop there. Terry and the band then headed to Pittodrie for a special acoustic set before sitting down with Richard Gordon for an interview.
We’ll be sharing all of that very soon.

For now, a huge thank you to everyone who took part and everyone who helped make it happen: Aberdeen Football Club, Captain Toms, Aberdeen FC Community Trust, Terry McDermott Music, The Algiers, Jim Leighton, John Hewitt, Neil Simpson, Paul Lawrie, Richard Gordon, Peter Davidson and all those who gave their time, energy and support.

It was a special day, a great Finn Moray moment, and another reminder of just how much this project is growing into something really special.
