The addition of the four Gothenburg Greats to the hall of fame will complete the XI who started for Aberdeen against Real Madrid in the European Cup Winners’ Cup final in 1983.

Defender Rougvie, who joined Aberdeen in 1972, made more than 300 appearances before being transferred to Chelsea in 1984.  He made one international appearance was against Ireland in 1983.

The attacker was forced to retire from professional football in his late 20s due to injury.
