The quote comes from Alfredo Di Stefano, then coach of the Real Madrid team, after Aberdeen Football Club defeated his team 2-1 in the 1983 European Cup Winners' Cup final. (Their victory came in extra time.) The full quote is, "Aberdeen have what money can't buy; a soul, a team spirit built in a family tradition."
