Pure Nostalgia......

I had forgotten how good this performance was....

An amazing performance. One of our best of that era.

We had a work colleague at our base from Mexico and took him to the return leg at Parkhead. Although we thought we had explained the away goals rule he couldn't understand all the celebrating when the final whistle went and we lost 1-0! He loved the atmosphere though. If I remember correctly that was the last home game we lost for something like 74 matches in all competitions (I may be talking out of my arse though, so apologies if I'm mixed up)???

Aye, wee Bobby Petta and Didier Agathe were unplayable in that match. They're not often the lads that spring to mind during that era, but they were outstanding that night.

Speaking of nostalgia though, later on in the group stages of that same season was the 4-3 game at Celtic Park against Juventus. Sutton and Moravcik were brilliant that night, we still went out - but it was still a great game that lives in the memory.

Was at that game SP,probably the best game ive ever attended.
 
The return game was one of the most exhilarating experiences I've ever had at parkhead, even although we got beat.

The place was bouncing, think arvaleta (sp) scored at parkhead. Think lubo was a sub and when he came on for the last wee bit it really settled the crowd. If I remember right Douglas had a great save at one nil!!! Great night!!

I remember Steve Guppy struggling to defend 2 on 1 constantly throughout the game and pleading for help. Shotti Arveladze (sp?), Yakubu & van der Vaart were all playing up front for Ajax I think. The stadium was bouncing but a wee bit tense at times. Good times!
