One of Bergkamp & Henry. Probably gotta say Bergkamp, he just used to own the park, Henry was ruthless and brilliant, but Bergkamp pissed excellence. Probably the best player the leagues ever had, IMO (Henry very close).
2001 UEFA European Under-16 Football Championship final at the SOL had iniesta and torres (who scored if i remember corrrectly) playing i went to the game it was good football
2 for me. Mark Hately friendly with Rangers, i was just a youngun but i believe he tore us a new one, and then ripped it to shreds, scored 2-3 goals that night and could have had 10 Andrei Kanchelkis for Man U in a reserve match, pace was phenomenal, must be 15-20 years ago or so, but pretty sure they beat us by 6 and he had a hand in all the goals. PS: these were at Roker not the SOL, but football started before we moved to the SOL so meh.
Unusual choice here but I remember the day after Chelsea signed Torres we got beat 4-2 at home to them and Nicholas Anelka was just unplayable, clearly knew Torres was his replacement, I remember leaving the ground and thinking that was the best individual performance I'd ever seen, however as an all round footballer it would have to be Bergkamp, the greatest I've ever seen
I remember that game as well, though I was only 10 at the time! Was it Belgium they were playing? Can't quite remember... I think Ronaldo scored 2 goals for Man Utd at the SoL, but it has to be Thierry Henry for me.
Haha it might be, though searching for that could run long into the night and I'm supposed to be going to the Darkside for a night out later, I'll see if my dad remembers!
i found it it was france and they had a few players i know http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2001_UEFA_European_Under-16_Football_Championship also two games were played at harrogate where i live and my dad went to both games there was a **** attendence but looking at the squads now there was some really good players playing
