NIGEL MARTYN: Why Stadium of Light will be unforgettable experience for Everton
IT'S more than 20 years ago now, but I can still remember Gerry Francis telling me during my Bristol Rovers days about one of the best arenas he had ever played in.
He was referring to a trip he'd made with England in the mid 70s, and the experience had never left him.
Unfortunately it was a stadium I never got to play in.
But on Thursday Everton will get the chance to play at the Stadium of Light in Lisbon - and it's an experience I hope they savour.
The Blues and their fans have already shown how much they love the whole European experience.
And a trip to one of the true cathedrals of European football should be a treat.
It's a colourful arena which is steeped in history - and I hope Everton can go there on Thursday and write their own little piece.
The fans will enjoy it - and I hope the players do too!
