Looks like he's going to give him a passionate kiss

 

[The Lone Sniper]

Hell of a team we had then.

 

[BluenoseAL]

big oz wantin a piece too lol

 

[NE Cornerbear]

Payback, I seem to remember Mattheus doing something similar to Barry Ferguson. He was an arrogant prick. Mattheus that is , no Barry!

 

[nithbear]

Only one winner here !

Thats what i was about to ask, was this after Matthaus grabbed Ferguson by the shirt and was trying to lift him off the deck.

 

[wee blue dug]

A ferguson master show,, basically took the piss

 

[Rangers_loyal_1]

Fantastic photo. I have no recollection of this happening. We where so blessed back then.

He gauged Fergies eyes if you remember...

 

[Gun Jack]

That's the kind of fighting spirit you expect from a Ranger.

 

[bluenosebazza]

He gauged Fergies eyes if you remember...

Yep, and raked his face.

 

[Eddie Doc]

Look how baggy Matthaus' shirt is.

 

[SA444]

Thats a great photo.

 

[MarkWalters11]

Sad thing about today’s refs is they would probably have sent Albertz off for that

 

[SG 8]

The mettle as well as ability in the team is severely missing these days

 

[Getstiffed]

A ferguson master show,, basically took the piss

Stefan Effenberg stated in the press conference afterwards that he'd spent 90 minutes getting his arse felt by Barry.

 

[Bknowe]

Moore "Have you seen Jorg kick a ball Lothar? He's about to kick your baws"

 

[Pvt. Hudson]

Lothar Matthaus distinctly remembers one thing from facing Rangers in Champions League in 1999

Matthaus was part of the Bayern Munich side that faced Glasgow Rangers in the group stages of the competition 17 years ago. Lothar Matthaus When...

[SG 8]

Albertz was an absolute machine of a player. Always provided in the big games

 

[hunter1rfc]

,,,,,,,,

 

[rangersno.1]

Big Moore laughing at him aswell

 

[Gascoigne]

He did the same at Ibrox to Gary Smith of Hibs and was sent off, to a rousing rendition of ALBERTZ!!! ALBERTZ!!! ALBERTZ!!!

 

[devilman]

Seem to remember Matthaus had just done something to Ferguson at that point and Albertz was having none of it.

 

[billybluehat]

Loved Der Hammer.Magnificent for Rangers and he constantly hammered the crash barriers who were scared shitless of him.One of my all time favourite Rangers.

 

[bristolbear_06]

Loved the hammer back in the day, probably underrated in some ways because he had such a dig on him. As mentioned a lot folk around my age (early 40s) were spoilt growing up for heroes in blue.

 

[Niptrueblue]

I don’t remember this either or chat of it, great photo.

 

[Sheuchans]

What a player, what a team

 

[kebabloyal]

Hell of a team we had then.

And how we didnt beat them is beyond me...in munich, kahn had the best game of his career, we hit the woodwork bout 3 times aswell. Seen an interview with Kahn years after he retired. They were talking about his illustrious career and all the medals he had won, championships, cups, world cup, euros he played in, the lot and asked him what was his best personal performance. That was a champions league group game against Glasgow Rangers he said. On any another night we would have beaten them ......

Stefan Effenberg stated in the press conference afterwards that he'd spent 90 minutes getting his arse felt by Barry.

Was that a direct quote? The Germans usually do have a great command of English

 

[Saudiger]

Travesty we never win both games against Bayern that year

 

[Getstiffed]

Was that a direct quote? The Germans usually do have a great command of English

Not exactly but he basically singled Barry out and said he couldn't get near him.

 

[nemessis]

Moore's a classic in that he has the look that's saying "yer no so f*cking smart now are ye, ya wee crunt". Brilliant.

 

[Crouchy]

Craig Moore was also a right hard, fiery bastard.

Often overlooked, but it’s easy to see why we get beat up now away from home.

Those teams could fight it out when needed. We lack some muscle at present.

 

[Loyal Soldier]

Some size shirt the German has on!

 

[ICA_86]

One of the few moments that Matthaus was allowed out of Barry Ferguson’s pocket presumably.

 

[Ally’s Golden Boot]

Thats what i was about to ask, was this after Matthaus grabbed Ferguson by the shirt and was trying to lift him off the deck.

He tried to gauge Barry’s eyes out the c()nt

 

[Rio Bear]

Great photo, some team we had then...

 

[southsidebluenose]

Look how baggy Matthaus' shirt is.

No such thing as athletic fit then

 

[Hawftimepie]

I fucking loved Albertz.

 

[GourockBlue50]

Glory days.

 

[Corby]

How pissed off was I after those 2 games against Bayern? We absolutely dominated them home and away and only got 1 point.

 

[ranger33]

Lost all respect for Matthaus after that game for antics .

 

[stramasher]

An absolute favourite of mine. Great pic.

And was delighted to see Moore turn from whipping boy to a rock solid defender.

 

[HamiltonJungleBear]

Heartbroken when he left. He gave us so many wonderful times. Does he ever come back for fans events?

To be fair... arrogance is a very important part of being a footballer.
Most of the best footballers in the world were extremely arrogant...
Ferguson himself (quite rightly) had that look about him as well - he had to..

[ShotaShuffle]

Look at the chance on 19 mins and watch the acceleration of Mols to get into the 6 yard box.
A travesty his injury

 

[Der Berliner]

Heartbroken when he left. He gave us so many wonderful times. Does he ever come back for fans events?

Always speaks in the highest regards about us and his time here. And, BTW, there was never much love lost between Hamburger SV and Bayern players, though that holds true for many teams and players. The arrogance that oozes out of that club and most of his players is utterly annoying.

Looks like he's going to give him a passionate kiss

Aye, a Glasgow kiss.
