Sporting Lisbon away 2005 – How it was, when it wasBack in 2005 under Graeme Souness, we had managed to get to the quarter-finals of the UEFA Cup, facing Sporting Lisbon.
So I rope my old drinking pal and massive Toon fan Kev Hill into joining me on a two day trip to Lisbon. Now Kev is a great kid but a generation older . As we are walking away, Kev then asks me if I am taking any tabs home for Monty, but before I could even answer, there goes my phone with Monty’s name flashing up.Myself: “I am three piece .”Obviously me coming from a middle class family from Low Fell this was how I talked all the time.
Match day and we were out early, then a metro up to the game, 1-0 up from the first leg quickly becomes 2-0 up on aggregate and we’re dreaming of a return to Lisbon for the final.then misses an absolute sitter and next thing we’re 3-2 down on aggregate. I’ve seen enough, I storm through a group of police dressed up like Robocop and am out in a taxi up to the airport.
