It was golden goal as well. Gutting. Gunner beat me to it mentioning Anderton hitting the post. That seems to be forgotten about as Gazza's slide and miss is more romantic to remember.
We could/should have lost to Spain In the 1/4s. Got away with an offide decsion if I remember correctly.
It was the summer I finished school and everything about was magical. The great weather, the top soccer 🤭 and the nation seemed to be buzzing. For the semi against Germany a friend and I managed to get into Brubaker's bar here in York. We were both 16 but I've always had an old face. We got in there early before the bouncers statrted on the door and I went to the bar for drinks with my old face. Didn't envisage such a long night. With it going to ET and pens I'd drank more John Smith's than I ever had before. I was whalloped by the end of the game. Luckily, my Dad was on nights so wasn't about when I eventually got home. So I only had one parent to dodge and drag myself up to bed without getting a bollocking!
I think eveything that summer gave me helped to include the Euro 96 team in this list.
