here is the peel show from the night we won our fourth european cup against as roma, in rome with penalties from neal, souness, rush and kennedy. its an exuberant affair and is co-hosted by peels rhythm pal, david "kid" jensen. jensens role appears to be to stop peel going off on an adrenalin fuelled rampage of hysterical hyperventilation - and to chip in with his somewhat sketchy knowledge of 'soccerball'.
the tape starts with a recording of alan kennedys final penalty, summariser emlyn hughes can barely contain himself.
and the way it is recorded takes me back to listening to radio two commentaries of liverpool games being broadcast from tbilisi or dresden. they were inevitably interrupted by waves of french pop radio and the like , to my battery operated radio stationed under my pillow.

In Turkish we say 'gule gule Kulanin' Which, loosely translated, means 'use it well / may it come in useful'
