Re Nike adverts, I was in Cardiff that summer and in a shoe shopthere was a brilliant poster of Peter Withe celebrating in the net after his goal v Bayern (IIRC it was pretty big too). I went in and asked if I could have it when they had finished but obviously I never heard off them.Did anybody else ever see that poster?

My Mom flirted with said Barry and he gave it to her when he had finished with it. Mom framed it and it was hanging in her lounge for years. For my 21st my mates got it off her and had it signed. "To Sam, best wishes, Peter Withe. BE GOOD! It now has pride of place amongst my other memorabilia. It's class.

I demand they be reintroduced!One of the great losses of 1980s football.Right up there with commentaries on matches abroad being done over the telephone, matches behind the Iron Curtain where there were crowds of 90,000 and 85,000 of them were in drab uniform, and those team line up graphics where the names went diagonally down the screen.
Anyone else remember the Ansells advert that was on TV straight after the final?
Barry's Sports in Shirley?I am now getting 1980s local retail crossover confusion, mixing that place with Barry's barbers and fishing tackle shop on the corner of Stratford Road and School Road, by the Three Horseshoes in Hall Green.It was by Dhillons newsagents and the Plumbers on Shakespeare drive. It wasn't there long.

My dad and sister went to Rotterdam but I had to stay home and watch it on TV with my mom. Pretty much straight after the game they went to an ad break and the first one was an Ansells ad. It started with you seeing a bloke sat in a chair with a dog at his feet (you could only see the bloke from legs down iirc). He shouts "we've done it" and goes down the pub with his dog. Honestly, i'm not making it up! As an aside, watching the final was the first time I swore in front of my mom, I was 12 and it was when Bayern scored.
