That Night in May.....

A friend of mine, Scouse Andy, recently acquired a number of photographs taken by a professional pitch side photographer from the Champions League Final from Istanbul. I've had them all scanned on to a cd, and I thought I'd share some of them with you all - I think they're great pictures, but then, I'm a bit biased. If you, or anyone you know might want some (there are 137 in total,) drop me a line and I'll see if I can sort them out!




Rafa Benitez playing keepy-uppies after training on the pitch inside the Attaturk stadium. Apparently he often does this after all of the players have gone off to the changing room, and from all reports is pretty good at it.




The Liverpool and Milan players entering the field of play, none has any idea what is about to transpire over the next 2+ hours, and I doubt they'd believe you if you told them!




The Kop travelled to Istanbul en masse. This is just an impressive picture, regardless of the team. The stadium was Liverpool on 3-sides, and if I wasn't so poor, I'd have been there!




The much-maligned Vladimir Smicer wheels away after scoring the second goal in "the comeback" - this was the exact moment where Liverpool fans everywhere began to believe.




Didi Hamman scores the first Liverpool penalty during the shootout, and from this angle, it looks as if he only just managed it!




The bus passes in front of Anfield on its lap of honour around the city. This is a great picture, and reminds me of the day I spent in the Liverpool sunshine, up a lamp post.

Sorry for all of the football related posts recently, I know that only Steve appreciates them, and seeing as they're about Liverpool, even he doesn't care that much! I assure you that normal service will resume soon, and that means not updating at all ;)
