00:00That night I was thinking about not watching the second half.
00:04To be honest.
00:05To be able to come from 3-0 down to go to 3-0
00:08and winning penalties was something that I'll never forget.
00:17After 3-0 and with all the things that were said before the game,
00:21Milan probably the favourite and stuff like this,
00:24it looked like the game was decided
00:26and it became then one of the biggest football sensations ever.
00:29I was actually on the treatment table.
00:31I had a big bag of ice on my groin
00:33and I remember hearing a roar.
00:35And I was like, okay.
00:36And then I remember the doc coming and he goes,
00:38oh, look, we just scored.
00:39I said, oh, okay.
00:40And I was sitting next to Steve Finnan as well.
00:42And then next minute we heard another roar
00:44and we're like, what's going on now?
00:46Obviously, you know, there must be 4-1 or something.
00:48And he's come, the doc's come back in again and said,
00:50oh, we just scored again.
00:52And we're going, what?
00:53Oh my God, fantastic.
00:55And next minute we hear another roar.
00:57We're like, no way.
00:58And then he's come running.
00:59He goes, we've only got a penalty.
01:00And right at that moment there,
01:01I think me and Steve Finnan just ripped all our ice bags off
01:04and we actually hobbled out there
01:06and we actually just saw Alonso put the rebound in for the goal.
01:10I kind of knew there was something special about this game
01:13when Shevchenko volleyed the ball from three yards out
01:18and Jersey Dudek saved it.
01:20When you saw that, you just think of, hang on a minute.
01:22This could be something now.
01:24To be able to see my team do something, you know, a miracle
01:28in the world of football was nice to be a part of.
01:31For all of us, it was a privilege to be part of that moment.
01:35Not only because we are Liverpool supporters
01:37but because we play in that game.
01:39It's because if you like football,
01:41that was probably one of the best matches in the history of football.
01:44I can tell you that I have at home a lot of pitchers with the fans,
01:48750,000 fans around there.
01:50The coach was massive.
01:52People in the lamps, people in the roofs, in the bridges everywhere.
01:55I was really happy that I didn't switch the telly off
01:58and watch the whole game.
