Interesting article here ahead of a Five Live Special to mark 20 years on. Say what you like about him, but now one of the funniest ever sagas in modern soccerball. The incident in all it's glory. Warning some horrific scenes (of terrible kit, hairstyles and Palace fans). [video=youtube;wo2aUfwPQvs]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wo2aUfwPQvs[/video]
I will in Backpacking around Thailand at the time, it was before the internet and it made the front pages of the news there and the new, can't believe that is 20 years ago, there was the Chelsea Millwall riot and the Dublin game riot as well all in about a month!
I remember listening to that game on my little radio/tape player thing that I thought was amazing. Probably got better signal for it then we get for 3CR now.
I was in Munich and it was all over German TV too. I remember spitting my bier over the table when I saw it.
Suggest being totally off your face on top of a jaggedy Sinai mountain in the pitch black and miles from civilisation ... you will dream of an internet connection, I know I did
Players get so much abuse from fans that I am surprised there aren't more threats to attack or insult from said players but this was crazy stuff!
