Seems like a long time ago now.

IIRC Tony Butler did his prayer mat routine during the game. I remember setting my alarm and listening, but apart from that Butler thing I remember nothing about it.

Something in my brain tells me it was FC America. I think they were a Mexican team as I'm pretty sure it the guy who broke Sid's leg was named a 'Mexican bandit' by some. As for the Penarol game I remember listing to George Gavin's BRMB commentary whilst decorating my mum and dad's Christmas tree.
