#31 An Interview with Steve “Pele” Paterson
Sheepfiddlers Podcast – Episode 31: An Interview with Steve “Pele” Paterson
This week on the Sheepfiddlers Podcast, Quanny sits down with one of the most fascinating characters in Scottish football — former Aberdeen manager, Manchester United player and Highland football legend, Steve “Pele” Paterson.
Steve takes us through his incredible football journey, from making his Manchester United debut as a teenager to his successful career in Scottish football and his time with Inverness Caledonian Thistle.
We also talk about his time in charge of Aberdeen, what it was like taking on one of the biggest jobs in Scottish football, the pressures that came with it, and how he looks back on that period of his career today.
But this is much more than a football interview.
Steve speaks openly about the highs and lows of his life, the challenges he faced away from the pitch, and the journey that followed. It is an honest, fascinating and at times emotional conversation with a man who has experienced some incredible highs and difficult lows.
We also hear Steve’s thoughts on Aberdeen, Scottish football, the players and managers he has worked with, and the modern game.
A fascinating opportunity to hear the story behind the name Steve “Pele” Paterson — in his own words.
🎙️ Episode 31 is out now.

#30 From Bleatin To Believin
Episode 30 – From Bleatin To Believin 🐑
Four points. Five goals. One defeat in the last three away games.
Is Stephen Robinson finally starting to get Aberdeen clicking?
This week we look back on a sensational 4–0 win over Motherwell at Fir Park, followed by a 1–1 draw with Hibs at Easter Road. Gavin Molloy, Connor Ronan, Ayoub Mouloua and Kevin Nisbet all found the net against Motherwell, before Nisbet struck again at Hibs. (Aberdeen FC (https://www.afc.co.uk/en/news/sensational-dons-hit-well-for-four?utm_source=chatgpt.com))
But was the Hibs draw a point gained or two dropped?
We also discuss the appointment of Adrian Bevington as Aberdeen CEO, Alan Burrows’ departure, Findlay Marshall’s emergence, the latest Scottish football news, Scotland’s squad and the chaos surrounding Celtic and Hibs.
Plus, there’s the usual John Bleatin, the Bleats of the Week and our Sheepish Predictions.
🐑 From Bleatin To Believin — are the Dons finally starting to click?
