Was there (99 not 97) and was an absolutely wonderful performance. And the goal he scored after being denied by the woodwork, volley with both feet off the ground, imprinted in my mind forever.
Yes you are correct of course! At the time i loved playing football but never really watched it but that game really grabbed my attention. I just had to go back at watch the highlights to refresh some of those moments. I still chuckle now watching the way he picked up the ball on the nearside of the pitch and dribbled right the way across the other side before unleashing the shot, atmosphere sounded electric also.
I do think Ginola is very much one of those players who despite never really having great stats is just great to watch, especially as a youngster.
