Italy - It wasn't the plan originally. The trip to Rome was booked long before the fixture list came out. Roma v AC Milan at the Olympic Stadium in Rome.
And then there was the breaking news. East London lad David Beckham was going to make his Serie A debut for I Rossoneri in the
game that would also host a Terrors fan. An Italian contact had advised that it was best to keep the scarf out of sight when in the Stadium. Sounds like a
battle from ancient times in the Colosseum! Getting a ticket to the game proved challenging - mainly because you didn't just rock up to the ground a
la Imperial Fields and pay at the turnstyle.
The Terrors line up outside the Olympic Stadium before the game which ended 2-2. Read more about the game and The Terrors' influence on the beginning
of organised football in Italy here.
