"The story of a foreign goalkeeper making his debut in England and scoring for Aberdeen! The Dons completed the formality of beating Berwick in the League Cup, but the game was remembered for an astonishing goal from Aberdeen debutant Marc De Clerck. The Belgian keeper was making his first appearance for Aberdeen and his huge clearance bounced once and over Berwick goalkeeper Davidson and into goal. The Dons won 4-0, completing a 12-1 aggregate win."
