    Yep, didn't think my club could put on the show it did that night, and I don't mean the match.

    Ajax technically but Man City was the first home league game. Both games were bouncing from start to finish as I remember.

    First game was the friendly against Ajax and Niall Quinn scored the first goal at the stadium. Kinkladze scored the first goal against us at the stadium.

    I can honestly say that after the Ajax game, I went home that night telling everybody about this new striker we had called Kevin Phillips and although I had never seen a goal machine at Sunderland, I knew he would get us 25-30 goals a season. I'd never seen a striker with such good movement and his aerial ability for a little fella, stood out straightaway. You could sense we had signed a diamond.
