Remember rushing home early from work to get all the presser etc etc.
Great man.

So young looking in that pic.

Rafa.

Time flies indeed eh? Was on hol in the Dom Rep when this news broke. Seems like a lifetime ago.

I was in an office in Cheadle and me and my LFC supporting Aussie mate went outside "for a fag" and stood there for about half an hour, giddy as ****, like Chris talking about us signing Ayala, Aimar etc

Aimar

I recall my brother and I making up a song for him on a drunken walk back from the pub. I can't remember the whole thing, but it started something like this (to the tune of Copacabana):

His name was Aimar, from Argentina,
The hottest () player in La Liga

That's all I can remember. It was a ****ing great song.

Sounds it.

Who's gonna admit that they were crying because O'Neil would have been a better choice?

Curbishley FTW!

It's a shame it's all hidden in the KT archives rather than here. Would have been funny reading back.

I certainly didn't want any British dross at the time but I also had no idea who Rafa was until we were linked with him, then I was all for it. So I'm shame free

[Liverpool]

I heard Rick Parry talk a few weeks ago and he said we were never interested in O'Neil yet he kept claiming we were several times

I was optimistic having seen quite a bit of Rafa's Valencia but I was concerned when there were rumours he wanted to get rid of Baros, especially considering he was the golden boot at the Euros at the time.

In hindsight there was nothing to be worried about on the appointment or potential improvement of Baros.

Brazil related song for an Argie though... deep burn!
