He played in both legs of the final, and scored the third penalty of the shoot-out.

Anderlecht were later to have found to have bribed the referee in the semi-final against Nottingham Forest.

Ah, thanks for that, TLO. I watched the second leg in Stoke Newington with a Spurs fan and cycled back to S.E. London after consuming six cans of Tennants Special Brew. The next day I had no recollection of crossing the Thames, so it is hardly surprising I can't remember who Spurs' opponents were that night!
