greenun Posted August 2, 2005 Report Share Posted August 2, 2005 Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink from PSV, whats all that about!←There was Stefan Kuntz, the German forward, who featured prominently in Deutchland's Euro '96 triumph.I'll never forget how he was lauded by Frank Skinner, who, impersonating Luciano Paverotti, sang an unforgettable version of Nessun Dorma on Euro 96 Fantasy Football. The song referred to Italy's demise in the first round stages at the hands of there teutonic counterparts, after a draw saw them go home early.It went something like this: (Stick with it, and just imagine the tune) Last night I watched ItalyI wish they played like GermanyI thought, they'd play like Sigge, Samme, Helmer, KlinsmannInstead they played, like K***ZPlayed LIKE K***ZPLAYED LIKE K***Z!!!!!
