| Description |
Excellent well-illustrated 30th anniversary history of this legendary European Cup match.
It also ended up being much more than just a football game.
Thirty years ago on Saturday, on a remarkable night in Gdansk, football supporters began what ended with the fall of the Polish communist regime six years later
It was an historic night even before kick-off but it was not until seven years later that the full extent of what happened at the Lechia stadium in Gdansk on 28 September 1983 could be fully appreciated.
Thirty years ago on Saturday, Lechia Gdansk took on the Italian giants Juventus in the European Cup Winners' Cup. It was Lechia's first – and so far only – foray into Europe and the prospect of seeing Giovanni Trapattoni's Juve, with players such as Paolo Rossi, Michel Platini and Zbigniew Boniek, in action meant that the stadium had filled up by noon. At the end of the night, though, no one was talking about the football.
