Included in the starting line-up were Denis Irwin, Steve Bruce, Paul Ince, Brian McClair, Gary Pallister, Mike Phelan, Danny Wallace and Mark Robins, while Mark Hughes was in the travelling squad.
The side would go on to lift the European Cup Winners' Cup by defeating Barcelona 2-1 at the end of that season – their second European trophy.
But they could only manage a 1-1 draw at the Brandywell with Joe Hanrahan cancelling out Mark Robins’ first half opener for the visitors with a cracking strike in the 91st minute.
