"That's the best night of my life. Sometimes I still go to YouTube to watch it, not just for my goal but for the atmosphere. It was a magical night."
It has been 20 years since Middlesbrough's extraordinary run to the UEFA Cup final.
It took 128 years for Boro to qualify for their first major European competition by virtue of winning the League Cup, the club's first silverware, in 2004.
It launched them to another level.
Boro had a run to the last-16 of the UEFA Cup and a top-seven finish in the Premier League in 2005 and a fairytale journey through the knockout stages to face Sevilla in the showpiece in Eindhoven in May 2006.
