Yes my older brother got tickets for that -doh it was the end of an era imo..........
To lose on away goals to Panathanikos on the Wednesday and then to the RS in the semi on the followIng Saturday must rank as the worst 4 days in our history.
Nowadays no team would be expected to play a European cup quarter final in a Greece on a Wednesday and then to play a f a cup semi on the Saturday.
As you say Joey it was the end of an era
From a popular ditty of the period, rather fitting.
I met a girl who sang the blues
And I asked her for some happy news
But she just smiled and turned away
I went down to the sacred store
Where I'd heard the music years before
But the man there said the music wouldn't play
And in the streets the children screamed
The lovers cried, and the poets dreamed
But not a word was spoken
The church bells all were broken
And the three men I admire most
The Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost
They caught the last train for the coast
The day the music died
And they were singing
(Altogether now)
