Vialli was some player. A firm favourite of mine from that era.

Vialli is my favourite all time Chelsea player. During a game he just never gave up. His passion for the game and passion for the club and the fans was magical. I was genuinely choked when he died.
Pat Nevin and Zola are both up there as my all time Chelsea greats, but Vialli tops them for me.

I don't know this guy but what a fantastic effort

Rovers fan cycling to every away game

Love stuff like that. I'm assuming someone's worked out the distance he'll be covering? It's quite a popular thing for Newcastle as their away fans invariably have the furthest distance to travel over a season.

Nevin would be mine for obvious reasons, but Zola is up there for sure too. All three of them brilliant players.

I'm not a lover of Chelsea, I'd have to go with Ben Roberts, for obvious reasons, who now in a bizarre twist of happenstance is their current GK coach.

I don't know. The story popped up in my FB feed as I follow the club FB page.

Through 1 - 0 on the night, 3 - 2 on aggregate. Despite his best efforts the ref didn't manage to book our entire team, though he did succeed in awarding an indirect free kick for absolutely nothing which was very weird.

Nice.

Copenhagen await. I know nothing about Banik so don't know if they'd have been an "easier" game, but I have Copenhagen definitely feels like the tougher opponent based on what I've seen of them.

Well done Killie.

Very generous! It's not often Scottish teams win away in Europe so I'm very pleased we have bucked that trend.

Just nice to be in amongst it.

100% especially considering where we were 4 seasons ago!

Awesome, I heard the result this morning

Banik were Boro's first UEFA cup opponents in 2004. They had a loud and lively support.
