Young got off to a very poor start this season, but has been okay since then. Just okay. I don't think anyone will suggest otherwise either. He'll run all game, chip in with the odd goal, and just become a very average member of our squad. He will never provide any flair or craft.
That first season of Ebbe's bordered on hilarious at times. I shed tears twice that season. I remember his first game in charge at home to Celtic, 5-0 defeat. Celtic fans resorted to singing "Aberdeen, Aberdeen, Aberdeen". That was infuriating.
But hey, two cup finals. That's three trips to Hampden. The semi-final against Hibs that season is possibly my favourite ever AFC memory. Dow's wonder-strike infront of only 5,000 or so Dons fans. We still outsang the Hibs masses.
It was a shame about the final.
