Rovers 4 - 1 Rosenborg

[rog of the rovers]

Has anyone got the tape of Mike Newell's hat-trick against Rosenborg?

Its still the fastest hat-trick in Champions League history, yet I can't really remember any of the goals, despite going to the game!!

Any descriptions of the goals would also be much apprechiated.

Still this win remains our only victory in European competition, hopefully this will change tonight though.

I remember it well! Sat in the Lower Darwen End, the end which they went in. I say remember it well, I can't actually remember the precise details. I think there was a left footer, a right footer and a header.

Could be an omen that Newell is doing the TV on Eurosport UK tonight. Channel 666.

I remember watching it on TV and they missed one of Newell's goals because they were still showing the replay of the Rosenborg goal.

His first two are lost in the mists of time but the third....... Matty Holmes (yep that's right) got to the dead ball line, must have been somewhere about edge of 18 yd box, chipped it across and Newell got a glancing header to it from about 3 yds. Well that's how I remember it anyway.

I think his first was a long range shot

Nice find! Enjoyed watching that, seems like yesterday. Is that still the fastest hattrick in the CL?

The Norwegian commentator actually sighs and says "Alan Shearer will NEVER miss this" when Rovers get the penalty right in the beginning. Classic!
