People always ask me about my goal, I don't mind, it was a great goal and to do that against the best goalkeeper in the world was unbelievable' Philippe speaks exclusively to FourFourTwo about his famous chip against Manchester United 30 years on

"It was just a wonderful day, and everything went right for us. It's not often you can beat the best team in the world, and they absolutely were that at the time, but to score five against them, it was just wonderful."

"In March of that year, we should have beaten them at St James' Park, in the season before. But they just happened to have the best goalkeeper in the world in Peter Schmeichel; if they had any other goalkeeper, we could have been three or four up at half-time."

"Then we played them again in the Charity Shield match in the summer, and they beat us 4-0, so we wanted revenge, and luckily, October rolled around, and everything went perfectly for us."

Philippe Albert reflects on Newcastle United's historic 5-0 victory over Manchester United in October 1996. The Belgian defender describes it as a wonderful day when everything went right for Newcastle against the best team in the world at that time. The victory represented revenge for months of built-up frustration. Newcastle had previously lost to Manchester United 1-0 at St James' Park in March 1995, a defeat Albert attributes to Peter Schmeichel's exceptional goalkeeping. Manchester United then humiliated Newcastle 4-0 in the Charity Shield that summer. When the teams met again in October 1996, Newcastle finally achieved the dominant victory they sought, with Albert scoring an elegant chip that became legendary on Tyneside.
