I also remember the Vieri rumours... £18m wasn't it? Imagine if we had bought him!

Vieri was a tremendous player and I think his style would have been well suited to the English game.

If anybody has a link showing the 1st leg, you will see their penalty was well dodgy.

The rumour about Vieri kept coming back but he never made the jump, which is a shame as he would have suited us well.

So were the fun and games outside the ground before KO!

We blew the tie by not scoring over there, we should really have left with at least 1 away goal.

The second half of the home game was a cracking atmosphere, the whole ground seemed to go mental when "it" scored the second.

And bricks judging by what was hitting our coach on the way to the ground.

We was having a great time with the locals in a bar round the corner from the ground.We walked up to the ground with them,turned round and the buggers had run off.

I remember thinking at the time that we'd never be allowed to come away with a 0-0. And so it proved.

Re: White Kit

At the time UEFA had a stupid ruling that if the kits clashed it was the home team that had to wear the away kit. Hence we wore white (our European away kit).

But we wore white in Madrid in the first leg?
