An avid Aberdeen fan is to be reunited with a prized piece of club memorabilia he feared had been lost forever.
For the past few years, Bruce Edmond has been attempting to collect the signatures of all the members of the 1983 Cup Winners Cup on the shirt worn in the final.
So far he has managed Sir Alex Ferguson and goalscorer Eric Black to autograph the strip.
And yesterday, he added Gothenburg Greats Jim Leighton and Neale Cooper’s signatures at the Dons’ 1-0 victory over Partick Thistle in the Scottish Cup Quarter Final at Pittodrie.
However, after returning home to Inverurie on the 6.01 Aberdeen-Inverness train, he realised the shirt was nowhere to be found.
Mr Edmund said last night he feared the shirt was “long gone” but spoke to the Press and Journal in the hopes someone might come forward.
Fortunately, the shirt was discovered on the train and is now in the process of being returned.
Mr Edmund said he was “relieved” having feared he would not see the prized piece of club history again.
