"They [Atletico Bilbao] are an impressive and skilful side. “Carlos leapt high to open the scoring against Hercules and he is the sort of player who can cause problems. “They are more skilful than our last UEFA opponents, Gornik, but they are not as well organised.

Pre Match. --- “Deehan was in the net at the time and was not interfering with play [when the referee ruled him offside for Brian Little’s ‘goal’]. “I think we fully deserved our two goal lead. “The whole side played well and it will be very interesting over there. “But I am confident that we can go through to the last eight of the competition." Ron Saunders.
