Its always fun watching Ajax as well, they always manage to find exceptionally good players like Eriksen, Vertongen.......Suarez.....  |
yeah, was a big fan in the late 90s and early 2000s ... really hoped they'd win their home Euro in 2000. Van der Sar, Stam, De Boer, Zenden, Davids, Seedorf, Overmars, Cocu, Bergkamp ... really loved that team.
Also remember that Ajax team really well that won the Champions League in 1995 because they were in the same group as Salzburg ... and they couldn't beat us in two games, that was crazy. Also in that group was the other finalist, Milan ... they beat Salzburg twice, but in the away game a Milan fan hit out goalkeeper on the head with a bottle. The UEFA took away their points for that game, but didn't correct the goal difference ... and so it was that Salzburg crashed out on goal difference and Milan advanced. You can bet that I supported Ajax in the final
Jari Litmanen was a beast in his prime.
I was freaking 9 years old back then ... crazy how much you can remember about football
