Title: Sporting Lisbon
Post by: Mr Stevens on Friday, June 26, 2020, 15:21:14
My ex has just returned a box of invaluable keepsakes and amongst them was a programme from the Town against Sporting Lisbon from 5/8/93. They were manage by Bobby Robson and included Luis Figo, a Costa and a Ramos.

Anyone got a recollection of this because I haven't.

Yeah they thrashed us 6-1 and we were terrible, an obvious gulf in class that day they dominated the whole game.

Luis Figo stolled accross midfield and scored 1 and set up a few others too, they played almost their entire first team.

I seem to remember going. A very one-sided affair.

We got beaten! Unbelievable.

I'm assuming that Lisbon were an attractive opponent. Many there?
