Football = Emotions

Arun Chowdhury

Just a recollection of how I felt when we won the 2005 Champions League. This was written at the time.

Well Wednesday night is one I will never forget!! It has to be the greatest football match I’ve ever witnessed and for those not interested in football I am very sorry for this. It was also the weird football match that gave me so much.

I experienced so many emotions in one football match that I never knew it was possible. The game started disastrously as we was 1-0 down within one minute and I was abosolutely gutted and after going 2-0 down I was nearly in tears i wanted to break everything in sight! then 3-0 down I did almost start to break things I was so close to tears it was unreal… To make it worse watching the match with no other real Liverpool fans didn’t help so know one knew how I was feeling they was saying it was alright but I knew it wasn’t, it was more than just a game.

At half time I need a few minutes to myself and I actually prayed for us to win the game, it’s the biggest game the club has had in 20 years and I wasn’t ready for them to lose!!
Second half introduction of Didi Hamann brought hope I was asking myself why didn’t he start the game someone who is a great shield in front of the back 4. I must admit Rafa the gaffer got it right! when Gerrard scored hope was now reality i believed we could to do and the two goals that followed fuck me i was screaming jumping and shouting, no disrespect to Milian who had given us a game I knew we could do it, this was it!!
Extra time penalties we did it, Anfield Heros and legends!!! I just wish I had some more people to experience what was one of the greatest nights of my life, I can’t decribe the feeling too well cause it was indescribable!!!!
You’ll Never Walk Alone!!
