ABERDEEN last night paid tribute to Jim Storrie, the first Dons player to score a European goal for the club, who has passed away after a short illness at the age of 74.

The striker, who started his career at Airdrie, played for Aberdeen between 1966 and 1969 scoring 11 goals in 25 appearances – including the opener in the club’s first ever European tie, a 10-0 hammering of Iceland’s KR Reykjavic at Pittodrie.

Kirkintilloch-born Storrie was signed for Aberdeen from Leeds United, where he played in the 1965 FA Cup Final, by Eddie Turnbull. He left for Rotherham in 1969 and also played for Portsmouth and St Mirren. He managed St Johnstone between 1976 and 1978.

A message on Aberdeen’s website said: “Our thoughts are with Jim’s family at this sad time.”
