Everyone at Aberdeen Football Club was very saddened to hear of the passing of our friend, and Dons’ superfan, Norman Goldie last week.
Flowers and football scarves have been laid outside Pittodrie as fans pay their respects to Norman, who died on Tuesday 3rd May. He suffered a stroke and, sadly, never recovered.
Norman, 87, was a hugely popular figure at both home and away games for generations of Aberdeen fans. He could often be seen decked out in Dons gear, even on non-match days, wearing his iconic sandals with one red sock and one white.
The Red Army will remember and pay tribute to Norman at our final two home matches of the season and the club, as a mark of respect, will retire his seat in the Merkland Stand.
As long as the Dons remain at Pittodrie, that seat will never be sold. It has also been painted half red and half white, in memory of his famous socks.
