Geordie Ahmed Posted Wednesday at 19:59 Share Posted Wednesday at 19:59 Was a huge fan of that late 90's/early noughties Portuguese side Rui Costa was one of my favourite players, adored him, we were heavily linked with him too but it sadly never happened Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At that time we might have not won anything, but my fondest memories watching the NT are from that time. From that point on, I'm kind of meh if they go far or not in the competitions. I absolutely detest all this nonsense cult around Ronaldo, which is way worse if you live in Portugal. We played Sporting Lisbon 3 times in 2005 I think and Joao Moutinho was the one me and my dad kept an eye on as he looked a lovely little player He had a good international career and an okay club career but also felt he could have played for one of Europe's real elite clubs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was actually afraid they could win the UEFA Cup after you guys lost like 4-1 or so? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A right twatting but they were still fun to watch. Edited Wednesday at 20:03 by LionOfGosforth Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sporting went on to push through AZ Alkmaar with an insane amount of luck, to then lose at home ground against... CSKA Moscow. Yeah, you had a golden chance that year.

Yeah he was at Sporting that season, not sure if he played against us He was a bit unlucky here as he clearly had talent but we had Laurent Robert at left wing who was class and a solid/dynamic centre midfield with Speed, Dyer, Jenas Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Physically speaking, he was horrible, always out of shape and tired, but his shooting power and precision from outside the box are something that I've never seen again in a player wearing our shirt.
