Bell, a free transfer signing from St Mirren in 1979, was a key member of Sir Alex Ferguson’s side and is perhaps best-remembered for his display in the 5-1 victory over Waterschei in the European Cup Winners’ Cup semi-final in 1983.
Injury robbed Bell of the chance to play in the final against Real Madrid, but his six-year spell with the Dons was a trophy-laden stint.
In addition to playing his part in the Cup Winners’ Cup-winning campaign and Super Cup win in 1983, Bell won three league titles and two Scottish Cups after scoring 14 goals in 185 appearance for the club.
