Can still remember it vividly too, the keeper going off after a few minutes, Withe's goal.
Funny how these things stick in your mind.


I've heard the tales of that night in Rotterdam a thousand times and watched Withe's goal many times more.

Dortmund vs Man Utd (both legs) for me, that would've been 1997. I can remember the '94 World Cup happening but no matches, my dad didn't let me watch the telly cos the football was on & I remember being upset over it.

The first match I understood was probably England vs Germany in the Euros in '96. Uri Gellar was on GMTV that morning, orange button on the screen telling people to touch it and that "England will win"
