    That friendly against Santos was one of the most boring matches I have ever seen, even taking into account that it was a pre season friendly.

    The friendly v Feyenoord was class because Eddie Youds was still pissed from Wembley and had to be taken off after 30 seconds

    Real Valladolid, I believe. I couldn't resist getting Carlos Valderrama's autograph at that friendly.

    Going further back i remember attending a mid-season friendly against Zambia.

    Then there was that game against Man Utd at L666s RD as a fundraiser for the fire, can't remember the score but think City won?

    Seem to remember an under 19's England team playing Switzerland as an opener for the rebuilt VP as well.

    I saw Youds and Mohan staggering down Valley Parade not long before the match. Couldn't believe they played.
