    Brilliant night, some quality players in that team (though probably not in 1997), Barnes, Given and Batty for instance. Barcelona had quality players like Figo (Once got transferred for a World Record Fee) and Rivaldo (Once voted best player in the World). Sadly we will never see these days again.

    The current Howard Webb is only famous because he sports a similar hairstyle. The standard of refereeing is miles apart.

    Webb couldn't hold a candle to Collina Pierluigi.

    Just come across another old teamsheet from April 2005 against Villa.

    Booooooooooooooooooumsong was in the team and Shearer was captain and we had Harper, Milner, Shola and Saylor on the bench.

    This might have been the game when Bowyer and Jenas had a little set too.

    More excitement off the ball than on it.

    A very special night against Barcelona.
    Tino was unplayable that night and it had to be the best game Keith Gillespie played for us.

    Highlights.
