I remember swapping scarves with an Ajax fan after the match and I had that Ajax scarf on my bedroom wall for years afterwards.
Fantastic night, they threw absolutely everything at us but Shilton was immense!
He was absolutely brilliant, he was beaten once but there was no way he was going to be beaten twice.
Fantastic atmosphere too, it was played in the Olympic Stadium if I remember well, Ajax home stadium in those days.
38 years ago to the day. 28th May 1980. Nottingham Forest 1 - 0 Hamburg.
Heroes!
First time I ever cried at a football match, not because we won the cup (again) but from the tear gas used by the Madrid Police for no reason at all.
