Happy Rotterdam Day

[Sleeuwenhoek]

Just sat next to Mr Bremner on the flight back from our respective holidays, what a really nice, genuine guy.

I just wished this came later in life. I was completely bloto for nearly 3 days and just thought would have the same again next season

I thought we would do it again the following season to but coming up against the Italian national team (virtually) in the quarter final didn't help.
Just so glad I was there

Something gooners, spuds , Everton fans, Man City jolly come latelys will never be able to say

[class-of-82]

Champions of Europe
They will never sing that

Augmented by Platini and Boniek, and not too long before they became world champs.  Not an easy hurdle.

Wasn't it after the '82 world cup when they won?
I still think after the shock of conceding such a quick goal we played pretty well that night.

Agreed, and a cracking header by Sid to equalise. But over the 2 games they were far superior to us.

Such a perfect day....

Just a perfect day
Watch the ball cannon off Withe's shin
The split second when it goes in
We go mad

Just a perfect day
Final whistle when the 90's up
Watch Mortimer lift the cup
It's such fun

Oh it's such a perfect day
I'm glad I watched it with you
Oh, such a perfect day
You just keep me cheering on
You just keep me cheering on

It's such a perfect day
Beat Germans in the park
And sail home.

I remember Gary Shaw being quoted as handing Gentile his shirt saying "You've been in this all night, you may as well have it"

Gentile, the cleverest, dirtiest most cynical defender to ever grace a field.

I remember him absolutely clattering Morley in the home game. It worked, as he never went near him again.

still got the evening mail special edition from that game in my villa memories box in the loft with a picture on the front of the juventus squad on the front

Despite losing.  That match was pretty awesome. Remember walking up to VP and you could feel it.  The kick off roar was electric and then they scored inside the minute.  Sid's header was probably the loudest goal I've heard in the holte for me, only Dalian's since was louder.  The following season match against Barcelona was pretty good when Sir Shaw nipped in to square the tie.  Happy days.
