An entire students life from today the unbelievable happened, it was the start of the Sky Sports revolution but English football was still a place that the likes of Bryan Gunn and Jeremy Goss could call home. They headed off to Munich and came back with the spoils after a stunning Goss volley and an entrance through the back door of the nightclub typical Mark Bowen finish.
The City team had been described by the lusciously mopped Goss as a bunch of mere babes at the time, something a young Dave O'Leary obviously scribbled down. But after identifying Lothar Mattheus as the weak link, they came back home with the victory over a Bayern side that included Memhet Scholl, Nerlinger, Ziege, Helmer and Wouters. Norwich did have future England B, full Montserrat international and allegedly the current personal trainer of the Ipswich Harrier under 7s running club, Ruel Fox in their side, along with Chris Sutton, Mark Robins and even Darren Eadie.
The Mike Walker(dad of Ian) managed side went on to draw the return leg at Carrow road 1-1, a game most notable for the debut of future star Ade Akinbiyi. The next round saw Inter Milan win 2-0 on aggregate thanks to goals in either tie from a young lad called Bergkamp. Simpler, better times?
