French club football was at a VERY HIGH STANDARD in the early 90s. United's achievement after a 5 year ban thanks to their scouse 'neighbours' was no mean achievement and beating the Galacticos of Cruyff's Barca in the final. Cue Mooreo
I forgot Mike Phelan was still playing in 1991. It's also interesting seeing Laurent Blanc up against United, given he would end up joining them several years later...
So much to say (a fair bit of dirty tackling from Montpelier for one thing) but Paul Ince - whatever else he did - must get respect for his courage here after that injury. Oh and for his unselfishness in the 4th goal against Chelsea in the FA cup final a few years later. Says a lot about the man
Loved this match. And this was Blackmore's competition. Man of the match in this game and a few others in winning this.

i was at the home leg in this tie, Montpelier were the best side we faced on our way to the final....
Blanc would eventually play for Man Utd.
Scored a goal in the famous 5-3 win over Tottenham.
