I often mention Spartak, they impressed the hell out of me that night.
Yea, and we were seconds away from qualifying.

Last minute goal at VP iirc. Didn't we win the away leg?

I remember getting into the North Stand just on kick off as traffic was horrendous. Massive Juve Flag in the Trinity upper and when Rossi scored in the first few minutes we realized we were surrounded by Italians.

We had a goal dubiously disallowed in the first half too, Shaw for pushing Gentele IIRC. We played really well cosidering we were up against that lot, Sid particularly was superb against the equally superb Platini.



Those sort of games really highlighted, for me, how good Sid was.
The surprising thing was that it was Bari he went to and not one of the bigger teams.

He was going to Napoli in '83 until they changed presidents. He would have gone to one of the big Italian teams in my opinion if it wasn't for the two foreigner rule. Even Zico had to make do with Udinese.

Of course, forgot about the two foreigner rule. Thanks

2-2 I think. I have vague memories of Walters scoring a good goal in the white away shirt with yellow hoops. I think Gibson may have got the other.
