Igor Biscan, Champions League winner 2005

European Champions 2005 (photo nicked from AP)

Sadly couldn't find a photo of Igor himself, who was inexplicably overlooked by the post-match journalistic photographing jamboree. Anyway, due to my mother flicking on the FA Cup final in 1986 and sitting down with a cuppa, I am a Liverpool fan. One year later and it would have been Coventry - two years Wimbledon (shudder) - so I guess I'm fortunate there.

(Yes, I have been to Anfield, and yes, I have seen them play, although not on the same occasion. And mum lived in Liverpool for a bit, although that argument falls down on the fact that she supports Aldershot.)

How the hell Liverpool won it, I don't know. The Best Team in Europe lost to Burnley in the cup, and saw Birmingham take away 6 points in the league. Some luck was definitely ridden (Eidur? Andrii?) but if you see off Juve, Mourinho's Chelsea, and Milan, then you probably deserve a medal or two.

So: Forza Liverpool! Allez les rouges! Das beste Fussballmannschaftweltmeisterpokalgeschwindigkeitsbegrenzungnationalelf der Welt! and Champions League winners 2005.
