Full commentary from the Champions League showdown will be live on talkSPORT, with our coverage getting underway at 7pm.In 1999 a Worthington Cup triumph over Leicester City at the old Wembley saw them qualify for the UEFA Cup the following season – the Lilywhites’ first European adventure since a controversial Intertoto Cup entrance in 1995.They made light work of their first round opponents, Moldovan side Zimbru Chisnau, with a 3-0 first leg win at White Hart Lane.A rifled shot from Oyvind Leonhardsen opened the scoring before a Chris Perry header and a Tim Sherwood tap-in settled it, and a 0-0 second leg made sure of progression.Tottenham Hotspur stars Chris Perry, Luke Young, and Steffen Iversen celebrate against Zimbru Chisnau.7

Up next was German side Kaiserslautern, a tough ask given they had won the Bundesliga in 1997/98 and had come fifth in 1998/99, despite only gaining five points less than their title-winning campaign.They had been shorn of stars Michael Ballack and Uwe Rosler but were now able to call upon World Cup winner Youri Djorkaeff – back from a bruised testicle – at the Fritz Walter Stadium, so hopes weren’t too high for George Graham’s side.Norwegian ace Iversen celebrates scoring his first leg penalty.7

Still, a 1-0 first leg win at White Hart Lane, courtesy of a Steffen Iversen penalty, had them on the way, albeit with a slim lead, to Round 3.David Ginola, though, was absent from the starting line-up for the second leg and a defensive 4-5-1, with Iversen playing at left wing and this, surprisingly, saw Kaiserslautern change their team after it’s original submission. A strange storyline but the addition of Ratinho for Martin Wagner appeared to buoy the Germans who dominated from the off.Ian Walker made several impressive saves as the German’s bombarded his goal, while Spurs, through Chris Armstrong and Leonhardsen missed key chances on the counter.World Cup winner Djorkaeff returned for the second leg after missing the first match with a bruised testicle.7

Andreas Buck fired home from a Djorkaeff assist putting the scores level on aggregate. The game was heading to extra-time, or at least it should have been.From an almost identical situation Buck was teed up by Djorkaeff again but with his shot going wide of the goal, Stephen Carr, just ahead of opponent Jorgen Petterson, turned the ball into his own net as he attempted to clear with his left foot. Calamity. Devastation.Carr turns the ball into his own net.7
