Antwerp is brilliant.I went to Antwerp once, we lost 4-1I too was there and remember on the ferry back the optimism that we would pull the tie back - we lost 1-0 at Villa Park!I also remember the escort from the ferry ( no not that type of escort Drummond!) Through the City centre to the stadium during rush hour - we brought the City to a standstill That was our first foray into Europe wasn't it?

The reality is that we'd lost three of our previous four league games and hadn't scored in any of them. I wonder what would have happened if we'd signed Sheringham instead.Or, if McInally hadn't gone to Bayern

In reality he had four good months with us in two seasons and in 1988-89 scored twice after Christmas. I don't have to recount Sir Graham's tale of the Cascarino signing again do I?
Twatter saying that Leeds linked with a double £7.5m swoop for McCormack and Elphick.??
I remember Mcinally always being injured and yes Cascarino signing tale please.

This is what annoyed me; it was three weeks before the transfer deadline and now I've got this money. I'd got this settled group of lads and one or two were starting to show a bit of nerves and I had no forward cover so I went for Teddy Sheringham. I spoke to John Doherty (Millwall manager) and he didn't want to sell Sheringham but he said he might sell Cascarino. I wasn't sure about Tony but we needed forward so I told Doug what the situation was. He spoke to Reg Burr (Millwall chairman), and told me that there was now £1.4 million to spend. There's twelve days left to the deadline, we've got an FA Cup quarter final coming up and now we've got this money to spend."Doug goes to Reg Burr, fails to get Sheringham, and asked me what I valued Cascarino at. I said about £750,000 and Doug promptly pays Millwall £1.4 million.... Since then it's always been me who signed Cascarino for that amount. But of course it's him who signed Dwight Yorke."
