We had been over there for an invitational football tournament in Seville which I believe, iirc, was to support a bid to host a UEFA cup final in the following years…had Sevilla, Betis, Crystal Palace, Copenhagen and a load of other teams.
Anyway, for me I was resolutely in the McCarthy camp and felt it was the ultimate betrayal by a player. At the time it felt like the sort of stuff you’d read about from a South American, Dutch or Spanish team and have a chuckle about how it would never happen to a team like ours. It was a game changer for us in that regard. But yeah, I was and remained in the McCarthy camp.
