An evocative piece of writing, thanks. After the miseries of European nights against the likes of AC Milan, Feyenoord and Dukla Prague it was amazing to see the Blues finally being able to take on the best again. I think we were all in shock, and maybe we still are!

Cheers John. That AC Milan game was horrible. One of only two occasions I heard my Dad swear at the match. I remember Gary Jones' shirt being ripped till it hung off his back; the ref did nothing.

A very powerful evocative read Paul.
Like you said, no Live TV, so I tuned in to the Radio.
It was an exhilarating Audio experience.

Can’t imagine what the live event must have been like.
How lucky for you and your Fellow Blues, to have witnessed History in the making.

Hands-up, all you readers who lingered, transfixed at that Action Photo at the Top of the page?

It Brought back memories of my boyhood days, buying the football Magazines, «  Goal » and «  Shoot «  and staring at the Action Photos of Ariel Duels and Goalmouth Frenzies and often wondering, which trajectory the Ball took.
The imagination was in Over-Drive!

It's a shame it was 'only' the European Cup-winners' Cup. That team would have won the European Cup itself that year.
