To celebrate the 10 year anniversary of Fulham’s epic win over Hamburg in the Europa League, we’ll be treating this Wednesday 29th April like it’s 2010 again.
As we did for Juventus, all of the Club channels will be going back in time by a decade, with the website featuring plenty of preview content ahead of the main event at 8.05pm.
We will be showing the Second Leg in its entirety – complete with Peter Drury’s iconic commentary from ITV’s footage of the tie – and we encourage fans to press play bang on 8.05pm so as to take in the match exactly 10 years on from the original, and also to enjoy the live updates across Twitter and Instagram that will accompany the game.
That will be followed by the official match report, highlights, and reaction from Roy Hodgson.
Before the night is out, we will also have the penultimate instalment of our 10 Years On series. Roy Hodgson, Ray Lewington, Zoltan Gera, Simon Davies, Bobby Zamora, Brede Hangeland, Aaron Hughes and Erik Nevland all contribute, casting their minds back to a night that still holds fantastic memories for each of them.
The following day, we'll get the complete opposite perspective on the night; that of a travelling Hamburg fan. For all the joy we experienced, imagine the devastation of missing out on a European Final in your own back yard.
Finally, we caught up with a couple of media personalities who were there that night; ITV commentator Peter Drury, and Phil McNulty, the BBC’s chief football writer.
Peter, the man behind legendary lines such as, “Hamburg will host the Final, Fulham will play in it!” casts his mind back to the night there was a tidal wave on the Thames, and discusses his fondness for Fulham, in an audio interview that we’ll be publishing on Thursday.
Meanwhile, Phil recalls sitting in the press box and witnessing a Craven Cottage like never before, as well as Roy Hodgson receiving a round of applause upon attending his post-match press conference.
