To think we had the likes of Gazza, Albertz, Gattuso, Barry Ferguson (who would be running our midfield the very next season), Laudrup in that squad it is difficult to swallow not winning that league. You can accept that Goram, Gough, McCall, I Ferguson, McCoist etc were all getting on but the likes of Gazza and Laudrup should of has plenty left to offer. I also remember Laudrup being tremendous in the World Cup that summer in France.
When you compared the squads both teams had that season, it's pretty incredible that we didn't win the league that season.
A combination of different things conspired to stop us that year. There were a lot of injuries, too many players were off form and a few players who should have been quite frankly more professional in their approach.
Spent an absolute fortune that summer and to finish up with nothing was let's face was completely unacceptable. The only season where domestically, Walter failed. Even the best have their off days.
