Me and Shanka the Jock got prepped up on St Mary St drinking Desparados, then walked into that cauldron. Simon Davies goal was outstanding, fantastic build up play and pass and move with Bellars. Bellars winner left the legendary Buffon clutching the Cardiff night air. Remember Savage being everywhere, Delaney having the game of his life, Gabbidon awesome, Speedo at left back, and Hartson showing a different side to his game, in fact the whole side were just immense. I know the momentum got lost and Russia was a cock up, but this night was so special as we partied in the City Arms after the game.

Four years later a lot of players in that Italian squad were lifting the World Cup. Say no more.

Were you there, how was your night!? Mine was very hoarse and tearful!

A very special night. Still also rank the Russia game as the saddest footballing experience
