Have been arguing for years with other bears that it was auxerre we played. Wit a fud!Pah, one French team is the same as the others mate!! It's strange how your memory plays tricks on you. I always thought I was in the Broomloan Rear for that game and saw Clive Allen scoring a goal into the Copland End. Clearly I wasn't in the Broomie! Am still sure Allen scored though....just could have sworn I saw him scoring while I was sitting in the Broomloan Rear!! I am sure 5K where locked out that night.Yeah. I was one of them locked out that night.I've never ran from a supporters bus to the ground as quick as I did that night! It was obvious from early evening that it would sell out well before kick off!Girondins de Bordeaux was their full name.I had a tear in my eye that night, that was the mark of the legend David Cooper was to us.Hard to believe how long ago that was.I know mate. I can't believe it's 25 years!! Bonkers!!!AwesomeStunning! Thanks guys! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LegendofCoop 17,718 Posted July 8, 2013 Author Share Posted July 8, 2013 Not sure, but I think this is my favourite. The Great man has taken to the field, all the crowd rising to a man to give him a massive roar....the kids clamouring onto the fence just to get a glimpse of him! Special memories!!
