The Derek McInnes era at Aberdeen is over, with their long-serving boss having left the club earlier this month. 

The 49-year-old coach is not likely to be one that many fans forget about in a hurry, given his eight years in charge at Pittodrie.

The same cannot be said for some of their former players, in fact, we've picked out 11 players you probably forgot ever played for Aberdeen.

The English centre-backs has had an interesting career, to say the least, seeing him play in England, Scotland and Italy.

His time at Aberdeen came early on and lasted just six months as he joined from Leyton Orient in January 2011 and left to join Blackburn Rovers in July that year.

The Faroe Islands international joined the Dons as a teenager but after featuring just once for the senior side over three years, went back to HB Tórshavn.

The midfielder's career since has been spent in the Faroe Islands and Norway.

Uchechi came through the Charlton Athletic youth system but joined Aberdeen from Nigerian side FC Dender.

The attacking midfielder made just two appearances for the Scottish club before being released just six months after his arrival.

The Australian goalkeeper was picked up as a free agent in January 2016 but spent the majority of his time on Aberdeen's books out on loan.

Lennox left to sign for Raith Rovers permanently in 2017 and is now with Scottish League One side Montrose.

The English shot-stopper has spent most of his career in the EFL's lower tiers but had a brief spell at Pittodrie.

Nelson's one year at the club brought just three appearances and no clean sheets – not particularly memorable.

Another goalkeeper from south of the border, Collins joined on loan from Rotherham United in January 2016.

When he returned to the Millers in May that year, he'd made just three appearances for the Dons.

The experienced English striker has spent the entirety of his career in English football, getting his first chance north of the border with Aberdeen.

Smith joined from Wigan's youth system but played just four minutes of football for the club before he was moved on.

The Northern Irish defender's spell in Scottish football lasted two years and brought only one appearance.

Jarvis was bought from Derry City, played 16 minutes of football, and then was sold to Institute FC two years later.

A product of Aberdeen's academy, Gibson didn't make the grade at Pittodrie and can now be found playing in Scotland's lower tiers.

The wide midfielder featured just once, starting the final game of the 2009/10 season – a win against St Mirren.

Glasgow-born but a product of the Dons' academy, the midfielder is the cousin of Aston Villa and Scotland's John McGinn.

Gibbons played just four minutes of senior football for Aberdeen and is now at East Stirlingshire.

A journeyman of the English game, when Halford arrived at Aberdeen in February 2019 he had experience with the likes of Sunderland, Charlton, Wolves, Nottingham Forest, and Birmingham City under his belt.

That didn't do him much good at Pittodrie as he played just 19 minutes of football for the club.
