Coco Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 I remember how excited I was when my Dad and I collected the 3rd set of coloured vouchers to get a ticket each for the big game. Loyalty points are not the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Old Tolbooth Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 I remember all those games well, and thinking how I thought we'd blown it by drawing at home to Austria Vienna (I'm pretty sure they had the word "Memphis" in their name) 0-0 in the first leg of the second round, they were a decent side in Europe at that time and had some pedigree. The Bayern night at Tynie was unbelievable, had big Dave had a bit more composure near the end we would have been taking a 2 goal lead to Germany, and a little bit more luck in the away leg would have seen us set up a tie with Maradona's Napoli in the semi final, we really deserved to go through that tie. Incidentally, I'm pretty sure the game against St Pats at Tynie seen one of the worst misses I've ever seen from a Hearts player in front of goal, Bannon was underneath the crossbar and somehow headed it over the bar, or am I thinking of a different match? Sadly, with the way the draws are seeded nowadays, it's highly unlikely that we will go on a run like that ever again, money goes to money in European competition these days and it's spoiled the whole thing for me, I liked it when we had the 3 European trophies to play for.

If there was one player in the side you'd want to be the one running through in a 1 on 1 it is JC - I couldn't believe that he had missed. It was an absolutely fantastic run - were we the only Scottish side left in at the time when we played Bayern? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Old Tolbooth Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 I still think it was a save. I said that at the time, and I still say it now mate, the keeper got a touch on that to push it wide, not that I'm convinced it would have went in though Maradona at Tynecastle would have been fantastic and no doubt a highlight of his career. We were only a JC shot away from it as well. What was the other two teams in the semi-finals? The other semi was between Stuttgart and Dynamo Dresden, West against East Germany at the time, with Stuttgart making it to the final which was a cracker with Napoli.

The above two are both correct John. Austria Vienna were known as Austria Memphis at that time (a sponsorship deal) and Eamonn Bannon did indeed manage to miss an absolute sitter in the game versus St Patricks Athletic at Tynecastle (although my recollection is that from almost on the goal line he managed to put it wide of the post rather than over the bar, but either way it was possibly the worst miss I'd ever seen). Was fortunate enough to witness all fixtures in that run, both home and away. Munich was a strange one, because it was difficult to be upset by what happened in the Olympic Stadium that night. We came very, very close to achieving an astonishing result, two efforts from Colquhoun, one in the first half that was pushed round the post (although the referee gave a goal kick), and a header in the 2nd half which came back off the post. Dave McPherson also came close to scoring that evening. Rather than being upset in Munich that night many in attendance, like myself, left the stadium rather proud of the effort we'd made and how close we came to doing one of Europe's big boys.

inspector Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 I can remember a crowd of us had tickets for the return leg in Munich before the first leg had been played. Non-jams were calling us stupid for going to a game which would mean nothing because Bayern were going to take 4 off us-waste of money. That Ferguson goal gave us hope and belief and my God we were so close. Brilliant 3 days-we drove down after taking the ferry from Hull. Just so many memories. I still have a picture of me and my mates with Sandy Clark after we spotted him in Munich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leginten Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 I remember being behind the goals in Munich and shouting "Go on Augenthaler Shoot", and he did as well. Scored a similar goal against the Huns the following season. So it was your fault! That goal was on from the moment he picked the ball up. There was a kind of "oh Jesus" hush behind the goal when he was about to shoot, and I don't mean in a religious way. Augenthaler made a career out of scoring with screamers like that. I'm glad to have seen this footage again, because I had got the sequence of events all muddled up in my memory. I had JC's header off the post coming when we were already 2-0 down. We were bloody close that night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me its damm close, that night against Bayern was a win against all odds, a full house, fantastic Tynecastle atmosphere under the lights and a spectacular goal to give us hope. The Gretna game on the other hand was a bit of an anti-climax (for me anyway) For some the Gretna cup win may have been their first final and indeed first cup win and thats understandable but for some other auld folk like myself who saw that Euro run and 98 then its understandable how we may class that Euro night ahead of The Gretna cup win.
