Yes it was very cold and the pitch totally frozen towards the Holte - may not have gone ahead had it been played in this day in age.
One memory of the match that sticks in my mind is a particularly amazing piece of skill from the Lord our Saviour, Paul McGrath.
Defending the Holte, on a surface that made the likes on Niall Quinn look like Bambi on Ice the ball was drilled in to the box from out wide. Macca, faccing the Holte did a mid air back heeled flick at the near post and managed to clear the ball out of the box and we started a counter attack. Without trying to get too misty eyed over the great one, it was a particularly superb piece of skillful defending from a player that excelled at it week in week out, similar to his tackle on Ronnie Rosenthal at Anfield in 1993.
