3-0 down at half-time, the fans lifted the team and gave them the hope needed to bounce back.

"I don't know who was having a better time though, us or the fans in the stands?" Dudek said. "They were crazy before the game even started.

"I've since seen footage of fans in the pubs before the game and those scenes bring a tear to my eyes.

"They deserved that night and that feeling because they'd waited 20 years for it.

"After all the preparations they made to get to Istanbul with their songs, their flags and their beer, it was like one big family.

"Everyone was together singing songs and it was fantastic to see."
