The sight of Samuel Kuffour banging the Camp Nou turf in frustration after Bayern Munich’s 2-1 defeat by Manchester United in the 1999 Champions League final will probably never be forgotten.
FC Hollywood had somehow managed to throw away their 1-0 lead in second-half stoppage time to gift the Red Devils their second of three European Cup wins. The German outfit dominated their English hosts and were denied a second through Peter Schmeichel, poor finishing and the woodwork (twice).
Supporters usually respond to players showing they care and Kuffour’s outpouring of emotion endeared him to club’s supporters.
