[hellas_08]

does any1 have any write-ups of when panathinaikos came in 2003
or pictures

[BrickTop]

i was lucky enough to sit with and have a chat to the barcelona boys...most of them spoke little english.

I remember Carles Coto Pages quite well - i wonder where he is now...i dont remember Gabby Aglovesabonglawhore though.

haha i creamed on that champagne, had a killa hair style and i liked the way he played. Got a photo and his signature

haha yeah i sat with them, i basically tried to chat with him....he was in a nike soccer ad for barcelona!!

ill try find it.

[Juventino]

The Juve team that came here contained Nocerino, Palladino and Bonnefoi - all future first teamers. I'm gonna have to look at my program to see who was here. I know there was a Bayer Leverkusen player who is fairly well known and I'm sure Ajax had a few. Newcastle had Chopra.

[Juventino]

From the 2002 edition (i'll just name who I think are the most well known these days) -

Ajax
Ryan Babel
Hedwiges Maduro
Daniel De Ridder

Bayern Munich
Christian Lell

Newcastle
Michael Chopra
Steve Taylor

Rangers
Alan Hutton

Shandong Luneng
...moving along

Juventus
Raffaele Palladino
Antonio Nocerino
Mattia Cassani
plus others probably only calcio fans would know, such as Landry Bonnefoi, Daniele Gastaldello and Vitkor Bounianski.

Australs
Adam Van Dommelle
Alex Brosque
Adriano Pellegrino
Vince Lia
Massimo Murdocca
Daniel Piorkowski
Matthew McKay

Vasco
You never know what names these Brazilians have changed to so yeh I wouldn't have a clue just juding by the program.

[Missing Post Count]

Christian Lell is probably the only name I recognize after Babel (thanks to his move to Liverpool).

[delfino_1936]

[povman_2009]

I do remember watching a few games one year , some nice fans for one particular team decided that Hindmarsh needed remodelling and smashed a few seats for fun... Football was good quality and it is a shame the fans stayed away in their droves.

Dinamo Zagreb too, even though they didnt do so great, we were still there in numbers !!!

And yes, Hajduk did win it 1 year

There were some great firework shows back then

Gentleman the comp was originally started in 2002 as the Festival Cup
Had a great time working there.
http://www.abc.net.au/7.30/content/2002/s640739.htm

The above website has got some write ups and stuff on the tournament.

hope this helps
the guy that was playing for Newcastle with Chopra was Richard Offiong now at the Hamilton Accies

The newcastle boys were a great laugh too, we managed to get a few drinks with them towards the end of the tournament.
The funny thing was that the only 2 that stayed out the way of it all were Steven Taylor and Chopra
