Mete's Amazing Facts No: 2 [ Elvir Bolic Of Fenerbahce Ends United's 40 Year Record in 1996]
I am a fan of Fenerbahçe. I think it is one of the most popular teams of the world. I have grewn up supporting my team.
In 1996 Fenerbahçe beat the greatest team of those times Manchester United by a goal scored by Elvir Bolic who was a beloved player of us. So there is no so wonderful a thing here you say. I can see. But what is amazing is that Manchester United had got a tiger by the tail. Let me explain;
MANCHESTER United's 40 year old, 56 match unbeaten home record in Europe finally fell to a Bosnian at Old Trafford at that night. Elvir Bolic's late goal won a famous Champions' League victory for Fenerbahce to throw United's hopes of making the quarter finals into utter confusion. Nobody had hoped that Fenerbahçe would beat M.U home and end the glorious record of it. Anyway, Manchester United fans know us well. When they have a record going on please someone let us know of it. We are going through rough times in our league this year but everyone in the world knows that Fenerbahçe loves it rough...
