Almost everybody had handed the trophy to Spurs before a ball had been kicked. What a feeling for us to spoil the party. Mark Hughes was superb that day, in the centre of midfield too! What a day and what a squad Souness put together in those first few years.
@@rovers9585 100% true apparently all Spurs had to do was to turn up. Hughes did a phenomenal job especially without Tugay and Flitcroft. Happy memories and as you say a brilliant team.
My enduring memory of this day was that it was the first time I got naked with my then girlfriend that lunchtime- then buggered off to watch Spurs lose . Girlfriend subsequently became my wife the following year
He was superb, Joe. Fired Rovers to promotion in 2001 and was on the verge of being in the England squad for the World Cup in 2002. Sadly, he had a motorbike accident in the summer of 2002 which caused him a brain injury. He wasn't the same player after that, but what a player he was before that accident. Hopefully will have some more Jansen videos coming up.
Ledley King was very young here and in no way was he overrated. He was a genuinely top class CB who had terrible knee injuries. He was so good on the ball he even got games in midfield for England and the year Spurs finally broke into the champions league he was pivotal despite only being able to train the day before a game.
Ferdinand was an excellent header of the ball. He would usually put that kind of chance away, but he was up against an in form Friedel who was a giant for Rovers.
Understrength, out of form and completely written off beforehand by almost everyone made this such a satisfying win and a jolt to that season.

Had 10 00 win rovers to win 2 1 and matt yansen to score first won over 3 00 00 quid Happy days
That finish from Cole was so underrated
Was the announcer inebriated?
I thought it was Kermit the frog speaking
As a Cardiff based Blackburn fan that was a special day!
Loved it, what a time for Blackburn
Best thing about that game was the Spurs kit
What a fantastic day this was. Fond memories.

@@bananahammock9119 let’s call it a draw….. 😂
@@PHDiaz-vv7yo 😂😂
Why does it look like there's so much more space than usual
Coz they’re playing on a rugby pitch
I've never heard of Mat Jansen before. Was he any good beucase he seemed to play well?

@@rovers9585I'd have to say I've never seen a worse goal conceded defensively to lose a cup final. Ledley King was so overrated.
Jansen was amazing but the injury Gods prevented his career from advancing

Surprised Les Ferdinand missed that tbh
Ferdinand was an excellent header of the ball. He would usually put that kind of chance away, but he was up against an in form Friedel who was a giant for Rovers.
Awful result... awful commentary
