Lee Dixon reflects on our Champions League bow

Related Topics: UEFA Champions League, Lee Dixon

Lee Dixon represented us 619 times – fourth in the all-time list – and that includes plenty of European pedigree. He helped us to reach three European finals, plus the Super Cup, during his near-15-year tenure in north London, lifting the Cup Winners’ Cup in 1994.

He also participated in our first Champions League campaign in 1998/99, which was one that we went into with high hopes having claimed a Double the season before, but would soon learn some harsh lessons...

Firstly, Lee, how did the squad feel going into the 1998/99 Champions League?
Being out of Europe was never a good thing for players and supporters.
