Aberdeen fans have a double cause for celebration this week after the effort of their fans helped fire a classic 1980s hit back into the music charts.

Just days after the club won the Scottish League Cup for the first time in 19 years with victory against Inverness, Aberdeen fans clubbed together to honour midfielder Peter Pawlett.

The 23-year-old is a legend at Pittodrie, where fans sing ‘Peter Pawlett baby’ to the tune of Human League hit ‘Don’t You Want Me’.

And in a bid to hail his achievements, supporters have launched a campaign to try and get Human League a UK number one.




The campaign is already proving a hit, with the song hitting number four in the iTunes chart, but Human League members now want it to become a UK number one.

A message on its official Facebook page said: ‘Amazing stuff you Aberdeen FC fans, simply amazing. We do of course wish the Aberdeen fans every success in their campaign to honour Peter by getting DYWM to number one on Sunday.

‘As we believe the saying goes in Aberdeen – Come On You Reds!’

Human League is reportedly planning on coming to Aberdeen if the song hits the number one spot to perform the song – with the alternative lyrics hailing Pawlett included.
