Photo Gallery: Prague, November 2001
(Czech Republic v Belgium, WC Play Off)
A big thanks to Ally Maciver for these photos, as Paul was a muppet and dropped the camera in a bar at Slavia Prague's ground after only 2 days (or there'd be even more pics of drunk Czechs!)

There's some corner of a foreign pub that's forever Scotland |  |
Ally, Sheffield John, Paul, Sue & Helen in the "Shot-Out Eye" pub in Zizkov. |
 |
Tues night, and the only Belgians we could find for a drink! |  |
They were one short having left a passport-less pal at the border! |
 |
One of the Belgians trying on Ally's Tam O'Shanter for size. |  |
Under several layers of clothing (on his top half) and several layers of vaseline (elsewhere), Paul still manages to get the message across. |
 |
Paul, John, Ally and Sue with 2 Argentineans (disappointingly not called George and Ringo) |  |
The teams lining up in the Letna before kick-off |
 |
Thankfully for us the Belgian's had returned over 1,000 tickets, meaning we could pay at the gate... |  |
... this still left the entire bottom section empty, despite the Czechs selling out 3 weeks previously |
 |
The Belgians at full-time. We were taught a song that went along the lines of "we're going to Tokyo and the Dutch aren't", proving it's not just the Scots who enjoy a healthy rivalry with their neighbours! | ||

Paul inside the massive Strahov stadium, recently used as a drive-in movie park |  |
The car park at FC Dragoun Brevnev, a cracking wee non-league club up a big hill |
 |
Paul with Don Hutchison, who left Sunderland to work as a barman in Molly Malone's in Prague. |  |
This is what you see when you try and kick the habit abroad! Surreal moments at the TV Tower. |
