Frank LeboeufPANELIST
It's just that when the morning we had a training session, I came back home, and like half an hour after, Ruud Gullit called me and say, "Well, they sacked me." We were second in the league.
Frank LeboeufPANELIST
We were qualified for the semifinal of the, uh, League Cup, qualified for the se- uh, semifinal of the Cup Winners' Cup.
Frank LeboeufPANELIST
Uh, there were no reason for me, that I knew, that for him to be sacked, and, uh, it's what happened, and Gianluca Vialli took over.
Frank LeboeufPANELIST
That was a big change and so unexpected.
Graeme BaileyHOST
Yeah.
Craig HoneymanHOST
I would love them to disband it, to take that competition out and have a return from a knockout stage from round one of the Cup Winners' Cup.
Craig HoneymanHOST
No league, no league.
Craig HoneymanHOST
You win the Cup in your country, you go into this competition and it's knockout from day one.
Graeme BaileyHOST
I don't think there's a need for a third competition, though, really.
Craig HoneymanHOST
But if it was Jeopardy and just a knockout from match day one, it was for cup winners only, I think that would be excellent.
Craig HoneymanHOST
I used to love the Cup Winners' Cup.
Graeme BaileyHOST
Yeah, do you try and bring the cup winners back in? Why not have Champions League, Europa League and then have the cup winners' cup? Come and see.
Wayne BartonHOST
The club's return could hardly have gone any better.
Wayne BartonHOST
United won the European Cup Winners' Cup.

Wayne BartonHOST
It was Ferguson's first European trophy as Manchester United manager.

Martin EdwardsSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
We've got a number of British players who were classed as foreign.
Martin EdwardsSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
That definitely had an effect on us, and we've not performed that well in Europe since the rule came in.
Martin EdwardsSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
The last year before the rule was adopted, we won the European Cup Winners' Cup.
Martin EdwardsSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Since then, we've gone out fairly early in European competition, and I've put a lot of that down to the rule that was against us.
17 Laws GuyHOST
And alongside him, by 1984, is an increasingly successful young Aberdeen manager serving as his assistant, Alex Ferguson.
17 Laws GuyHOST
Ferguson has already beaten Real Madrid to win the Cup Winners' Cup.
17 Laws GuyHOST
And he treats Steen as a mentor, a football education.
17 Laws GuyHOST
And now the two men are together on the beach, sorry, on the bench at an Indian park.
Alex HorneGUEST
So my family are big football fans in a bad way.
Alex HorneGUEST
So my dad's a Tottenham fan, and y- we, he used to take us to Tottenham matches, and he loved Tottenham, and he saw them win the Cup Winners' Cup, I think.
Jim DalyHOST
Wow.
Alex HorneGUEST
And hasn't seen them wo- win since.
Michael McCollHOST

Michael McCollHOST
Cup, which is a tournament I loved.
Michael McCollHOST
I mourn its passing because it was a proper thing.
Michael McCollHOST
You had the champions in the European Cup.
Michael McCollHOST
You had the Cup Winners in the Cup Winners' Cup, as it should be.
Zachary Adam EisenhauerHOST
That's his most famous one.
Michael McCollHOST
Yeah, but that game, before we move on from that one, it was 1-0.
Joe KentGUEST
And if you ask the fans, I think they'll say Champions League because we've never done it.
Joe KentGUEST
You know, the last one we won was in 94, the Cup Winners' Cup.
Joe KentGUEST
Does it count? Doesn't it count? Forget that.
Joe KentGUEST
Win Champions League, but it definitely counts.

James DoyleCORRESPONDENT
And I think my final question, and I really wa- I wanna end on a, on a upbeat kind of note.
James DoyleCORRESPONDENT
And one result I always have floating in my head about, about Limerick, and this is a very far reach for Limerick currently in terms of, or Treaty United, in terms of the state of football, but I, I remember loosely the, the 1-1 draw away from home in a, what I think would've been the Cup Winners' Cup at, at the time, in the 1980s against Southampton.
James DoyleCORRESPONDENT
And that was a very good Southampton side.
James DoyleCORRESPONDENT
It could be the best Southampton side we've seen, maybe on the par with the Le Tissier side of Southampton back in The Dell, a very old-school English football ground, where the people were on top of you and the atmosphere was electric, and they had the stand that looked a little bit like it was blown away in the wind, so the roof was a bit lopsided.
MartynHOST
And what better time to go back to 1991 as English clubs came back out of lockdown.
MartynHOST
their exile into European football and the story of Manchester United's run to Rotterdam and the successful campaign in the European Cup Winners' Cup.
MartynHOST
And I'm delighted to be joined by Dan Williamson, whose book on that has been out, but we were given another, a second wind here as European football starts back down.
