Gossebumps. 18 years later and I still get goosebumps with ease. I remember exactly where I was. I think everyone knows where they were. Huge for Aussie football. Huge. The lads should have unconditional respect for what they've done for Aussie football.
What a game it was. Never seen an Aus sporting crowd so rabid. Recoba must have feared for his life taking every corner. Harry Kewell changed the game when he came on. Bresciano, Chipperfield was tireless, Aloisi's epic celebration...So very lucky to have been there. The celebrations outside the ground after was incredible.
I didn't think I'd get emotional watching this back after 19 years. What an amazing game. Amazing milestone. The Golden Generation. We will never see a team like this again in my lifetime. "Johnny Warren told us so."
Just remember that the only reason Schwarzer made those saves is because Brett Emerton, the fittest player on the field, got cramp. Without him getting cramp and going off, Kalac was getting subbed on 😂
