TRIBUTE: Alex Ferguson sent a full-strength Man United team north for Teddy Scott's testimonial.
ABERDEEN FC legend Teddy Scott has died at his home in Ellon after a long illness.
Teddy retired in July 2003, after an astonishing 49 years of loyal service to the club.
He helped Sunnybank become the first Aberdeen side to win the Scottish Junior Cup in 1954 before moving to Pittodrie.
After hanging up his boots he served under 15 Aberdeen FC managers as a trainer, coach and latterly as kit manager.
Teddy, 83, was also a father figure to generations of the club’s younger players and was awarded a testimonial in 1999.
Sir Alex Ferguson paid him the ultimate tribute by taking a full strength Manchester United side – including David Beckham and Ryan Giggs – to Pittodrie for the game.
Ferguson said then: “Teddy has dedicated his life to Aberdeen. They were very lucky to have had a man like him for so long.
“A lot of the advice Teddy gave me has remained of value throughout my career.
An absolute legend and would be nice to see a memorial game in his honour.
RIP Teddy
