The event was staged by American sports promoters who were looking to lauch a professional soccer league.

Eddie Turnbull's young squad reached the final of the competition at the LA Memorial Colosseum, only to lose 6-5 to Los Angeles Wolves.

With the 50th anniversary coming up next year, some commemorative artwork's been launched at Pittodrie.

Northsound Sports Editor Dave Galloway went along and caught up with some of the team.
