I see a few mercenaries in that photo but at least they could score the odd goal.

Surely this wasn't 32 years ago, perhaps 22 (1993) or less but Rotterdam was 1982 (33 years ago)......

Think Barcelona, three sendings-off and Sid being launched into space.

2001 was the Intertoto. What an imposing trophy it was.

I remember the excitement of winning the Super Cup against Barca, then seeing the trophy and thinking 'is that it?'.

How can you not be blown away by how impressive a piece of wood can look?

At my age and with the amount I have drunk over the years the sight of wood is both a relief and impressive.

On a more serious note and as someone who was at the game that is the first time I have realised Allan Evans clearly wasn't allowed to join in the celebrations.

Also, where was Paul Birch?
