Excellent, thank you. The ’91 CWC final is one of my proudest moments as a Utd supporter. Great game brings back memories of the time.

I only started supporting United in 96, so I knew very little about the team before then. But I just finished watching the 91 CWC final over Barca, and it illuminated alot of key things about United for me. I saw why they called Bryan Robson the captain after his incredible second half perfomance. I saw why Lee Sharpe was one of the highest rated players at the time..19 years old and in a European Final? He looked as good as Giggs, and its a true shame he never really got to realize his potential. But even more importantly, to carry the standard for English football after 5 years out, and win the whole thing? That is a real achievement.

Glad I watched this match, and I understand your sentiment DS.

Was the CWC final on terrestial tv? I remember watching it on ESPN classic and thinking 'I might have seen this before' but I can't really be sure, seeing how I would have been about 3:p .

Don't know...I was 5 at the time, not much more aware than you!

The speed on the 1999 CL Final will pick up over the next few hours, the torrent was the last to be released and as more people get on it will be quicker. Once agains, credit to Brock.

There's been a recent burst of old United matches over at FBTZ, this may be the end of them. But I do think I'll be able to get the 1999 FA Cup Semi-Final Replay at Villa Park in its entirety...that should be a good one. Watch Ryan Giggs leave some with twisted blood....:)

Completely random question, but do people think that Peter Schmeichel was at fault for the first goal in the CL final? Just out of curiosity..I'm watching it now, and it seems he should have covered the far corner that Basler put it into, rather than the close corner that he should have entrusted his wall to protect.

Just a nitpicking point, I think we did all right that night..;)

Is there any way to get this match without having to download the torrent? Does anyone have the direct file to upload? Or is there any way to buy it?

What a sportsman Eusebio was.

I know. After watching that Benfica game, he had a smile on his face at every incident. When Nobby Stiles literally kicked him to shreds so that he couldn't play his best, he still smiled and shook hands. When one of his shots was saved near the end of the match, he shook hands with the keeper. A great sportsman.
