Friendlies V foreign opposition

[HoylandOwl]

With the friendly against Rayo Vallecano coming up this week, it got me thinking back to friendlies with other overseas sides at S6. 

There was the one a few seasons back, against Espanyol, where there was loads of Chinese fans there to see their countryman, Wu Lei in action. Was a decent game too. 

Brondby with Schmeichel in goal, who had a stinker, that happened to be in the middle of the season.. Which was weird. 

PSV after signing De Bilde. That was a good game, think it ended 2-2, and their left back (Bruma?) scored an absolute thunderbastard of a goal (think he played for Villa later on, maybe even about 4/5 years ago). I think Kezman played for PSV that day too. 

Obviously there's the Santos one with Pele, but even I wasn't old enough to see that.

Is there any more you can think of ?

Here was one about maybe 15 or 16 years ago v a Spanish side, I can't remember who..... I should it was 1st game I took my son on the kop, front row so he could run about. My memory says Valencia but it can't have been that good 😊😊

First of at least 4 occasions on which Schmeichel conceded 3 goals at Hillsborough.

Can't think he has such a poor record at any other English ground?

Villareal a few years ago. Bit hazy after being introduced to the Plata

I’ve got the programme for one of them. The one with Pele kissing the World Cup on the front. The same programme that’s on the wall in Riverside.

But not this one.

How mixed up is that?

[EpworthOwl]

I took Mrs Epworth to her first ever game v Vancouver Whitecaps in 1981.

We won 2-1 I think it peed it down too. No cover on the cop if I remember too.

He was the only one there as it was a low attendance friendly. He was stood by the old score boards running along the South stand...😳

 

Ya bastard! 🤣

I'm sure my uncle Tommy Dunlop would have been there with his half and half scarf. What a guy he was.
