INFO:

John Hewitt can lay claim to being the man behind the two greatest moments in Aberdeen's history. His late winners against both Bayern Munich and Real Madrid to win the 1983 Cup Winners Cup are the stuff of legend for any Dons fan, and with both coming from the bench, he earned the title of Aberdeen's "super sub". Even then, those were only 2 of his most important goals: others include a fantastic overhead kick to beat Celtic in a Scottish Cup tie in 1982, a goal after only 9 seconds against Motherwell in the same tournament (the fastest Scottish Cup goal of all time), and a double in the 1986 final against Hearts, once again in the Scottish Cup.

A predatory poacher, Hewitt had excellent reactions in the box, scoring a lot of goals simply from rebounds, especially from set pieces, which were an important part of Aberdeen's game. He was great at twisting his body to strike balls at awkward heights and angles, and possessed a decent header despite his short height. On the other hand, he wasn't too gifted technically, and with his game time rotating with Eric Black and Mark McGhee, his actual scoring record was fairly patchy, although his performances in cup competitions made up for his lack of reliability in league play. Like teammates Cooper, Simpson, Black and Weir, his later career was plagued by injuries and inconsistency. He never again reached the heights of his two legendary European nights at only 20 years old.
