FLASH BACK - MATCH 36 - 15 September 1982

Venue:  CELTIC PARK

*** My first European match ***

CELTIC    2    AJAX    2
Scorers: Nicholas (14 pen), McGarvey (27); Olsen (4), Lerby (18)

Johan Cryuff played in this memorable European tie but it was Jesper Olsen that proved to be the real Ajax star on the night with a wonder goal to open the scoring.  1982 Celtic were a fine side though and fought all the way to earn a draw on the night.

Ajax's second goal was a thing of beauty.
