Oh yeah I visited the Nou Camp the year before on holiday, fecking huge. In my mind I blessed the Stadium for United.

Can you give me a link or point me to the direction of where I can download it brother?
Not a download link, but here's the first half of it on youtube. The second half should then pop up at the end of this.
I remember very little at that age, as I was still shy of my 6th birthday. What I do remember is my mum not being home long from work, and me being on my dad's back, as he explained to her that "It'll go to extra time now." How wrong he was.
I also had an alarm clock with that line of commentary. Woke up every day for about a year to white noise, followed by "Beckham... into Sheringham, and Solskjaer has won it!! Manchester United have reached the promised land."

I was 18 years old, our family was having a vacation in Hong Kong, so there I was sitted with 2 packs of davidoff lights and 2 glass of beers, sitting along in the middle of a loud mouthed honkie based customers.
Was feeling like shit, and for a reason wasn't paying much attention when Sheringham scores, the place was like delirium, everyone's was jumping around, and when I see ole's goal I thought it's just a fecking replay
Absolutely mental

Cheers mate! Thanks!
I was there
I remember it like it was yesterday,what a night.My kids were small but my daughter can remember me going mad and running out the house twice in a few minutes.Football,bloody hell.
Watched that, any sign of the second part?
Nearly 14 years later. Unbelievable.
I was 11, and just finished a 25 mile Jubilee Hike with the scouts. The game was 10 minutes in when we finished the walk (as we got lost in some fields for about an hour) and one of the guys at the end said it was already 1-0 Bayern.
Got driven back home and watched the rest of the game on the tele downstairs. At 89 minutes my mum popped out to visit her friends who lived up the road, her last words being "Ah well, it's only a game."
By the time she got to her friends it was 2-1 to us and I was running round the living room like a nutter.

Despite Jake ruining it with his odd spelling, I still get goosebumps just thinking about that line.
aye,me too, I only heard that line on my return from Barcelona, but i still associate it with that night.
Were you in Moscow too, Jd? Anyone on here been to both '08 and '99?
Huh, that's weird. I assumed the second part would be there, but the guy doesn't seem to have bothered!
I have a good torrent link so if anyone wants one, just PM me.
Beckham really was the best in his position, such a gifted player
nah, Barcelona was a spur of the moment thing, we all payed a few hundred quid for tickets outside the stadium and there was quite a few available, I didn't think there would be tickets outside the ground in moscow and even if there was I wouldn't have fancied getting nabbed by the police with either a stolen or fake ticket.
I was down in Lloret De Mar. I had been to Barca the day before but I didn't fancy the look of the touts and thought I'd end up buying fake tickets. Lloret was pretty fun though, Reds and Munich fans everywhere.
After I left the bar, I ended up drunkenly answering the phone in a taxi rank singing utd songs to lots of increasingly irate spaniards that were trying to book a Taxi

most of the touts i met in barcelona were openly selling fake tickets for about 30 quid, loads of people were buying them and then just taking a chance at the gates.
I was only young. Me, my mum and my dad were watching it in the living room. Remember everyone going crazy when Ole scored, the dog absolutely shit it. Saw the next door neighbours (who were scouse fans) the day after saying one of them was putting the bins out and heard us all so knew what must've happened.
My dad's mate was at the game and took his video camera. Didn't bother recording much but switched it on for the last 10 mins to keep as a memory. You can imagine.

Would you not get thrown out when they realised you weren't sitting anywhere?
it really wasn't that organised.
I bet you did less damage than him; that knee slide caused him to tear his knee ligaments and endure a rough summer recovering (but with great memories!).
I saw the Sky version of Sheringham and Solskjaer's goals the other day. As much as I think Clive is a plonker and like Martin Tyler, nothing compares to ITV's version from that night, I must say. So many quotes from him and Fat Ron.
"Manchester United must score. They always score."
"The big goalie's coming up."
"Name. On. The trophy."
"They must be playing defensive, Schmeichel's stayed back for this one."
"Into Sheringham... and Solskjaer has won it!"
Unfortunately he seems to have become a parody of himself ever since "that night in Barcelona".
"What must Lothar Matthaus be thinking? Well with the greatest respect, who cares?"
I'd have been 8. I remember sitting there after Bayern's just glaring at the screen. My parents were telling me "you can't win them all," but I was having none of it, just sitting there fuming. I'm surprised the TV didn't burst into flames.
When Sheringham scored, I went running into the kitchen celebrating. Was busy dancing around in there when my dad called me back in telling me we'd got another corner. When Ole won it for us, I don't think I've ever gone so mental in my life. Jumping around the room with my dad and our dog, bellowing at the top of our lungs (the dog included). I'm getting all misty eyed thinking about it.
One of my favourite scenes from that final was the Schmeichel cartwheel. I absolutely worshipped him, and to know that we were sending him off having won the treble...
