Breda away in 2003 - How it was, when it was nufc
It has been well documented that on 15 October 2003 we played the Dutch team NAC Breda in the UEFA Cup, a trip where 85 toon fans were arrested during trouble before the game.Now before I tell you my version of events, I actually canvassed the opinion of a few of the lads who we’re there, whilst I was away at Brighton last weekend. So as our Queen has been quoted recently…”recollections may vary “.
Match day and it was decided to ditch our coach and just get taxis from Antwerp to Breda. As we were waiting in a boozer for our taxis to turn up, there were a group of taxis drivers in the pub smoking some happy baccy. Yep, guess who we got as our joey driver…Mr fly me to the moon. Anyway, things started to have a more normal match day feel to it and our lot moved up to the top of the square to a Irish bar…when an almighty roar goes up and we look down to the bottom of the square, to see World War three in progress. Running down to help the lads out and into battle, it is proper hand to hand fighting, none of this bouncing around malarkey and waving of outstretched arms bobbins.
