seems like yesterday
Indeed it does feel like yesterday! Never realised it was the same ref as the final either!
My favourite goal of all time that one. And weirdly my favourite moment I think too. Instanbul was just such a fucking surreal night and I was so emotional, I don't think I could even enjoy it as much at the time. But that moment, my God. It was just magical. It was special, like we were being told our destiny. And, as much as a hated him, Andy Gray makes it with his reaction. I remember thinking if an old blue nose like him reacted like that, then you know special it is. Getting all emotional all over again!
