1987 was the year United got to the final...weirdly it was Borussia again who they beat in the semi. That they got to the final 6 yrs after the 1981 match shows how strong Utd were over that period...regularly getting to UEFA Cup QF or SF. Pity this is the best video I can find of the earlier match and that goal.

SILH....I stand corrected sir(and gladly),knew they were good but honestly didn't recall them being that good and that's not with the blinkers on.
Anyone listen to BBC-Radio Scotland/The Kaye Adams phone in this a.m.??? Suggest you get it on playback(or whatever it is).Well worth it for the exploding fallout from Neil Lennons rant on the airwaves yesterday about Dubai/political bias against Celtic/media bias against Celtic/ex-players bias against Celtic/it does go on(makes Trump seem quite logical??),in fact call up his tirade and then listen to the 1st caller-Frank,fair made my day before going to golf-always cheated never defeated springs to mind-!!!

My PP Willie Pettigrew left Dundee United in 1981/82 went to Hearts.

'Greatest' goal I can recall having seen when actually at a match in Scotland...Kenny sticking it through Clemence's legs...Hampden Park, Celtic End. Scotland vs England 1976. Now I was bang in line behind Clemence (in there 1/3 of way down under the Gate 28 sign) and oh how we celebrated. Unforgettable. Though I do forget that Joe Jordan had a useful turn of speed :) btw - God Bless You Ray :(


And perhaps the most memorable/greatest of all when I was there? Kenny (again) at Anfield...vs Wales. World Cup qualifier (but that was in England so doesn't count for 'on Scottish soil')
