John Terry opened his notorious Penalty Shootout Blunder during the last defeat of Chelsea Champions League against Manchester United.
Terry took what the decisive fine could have been at the end of a 1-1 draw in the very first final between two English clubs, but slid on the run-up and hit the post to send the shooting in a sudden death.
Nicolas Anelka continued with Miss Chelsea's seventh spot kick to unite a domestic and European double, but Terry's Miss is still seen as the decisive and iconic moment in Moscow's Luzhniki stadium.
More than 17 years after that overriding night, Terry revealed that his precious mistake is still playing in his head.
“It is the most difficult trophy to win and being in the final meant the world for everyone,” Terry Fourfourtwo said.
'Playing in a Champions League final against a team from your own country was strange, but they were a great side and it was a tough slog of a match.
'I didn't really have to take one of the first five penalties, but Didier Drogba was sent away. I still think of my Miss to this day. To be honest – not as often as before, but I still wake up and it's there. I can see it.
'If you look back on your career, the trophies mean a lot, but those you missed can chase you and I will not forget it. I don't think I'll ever get over it. '
Despite his heartache in 2008, Terry later won a Champions League title later along the line.
Although he was suspended for the final, Terry took a winner's medal home when Chelsea Bayern Munich overcame to win the European Elite Club competition in 2012.
The defender explained that that success makes his blunder in Moscow a lot easier to come to terms.
Terry added: 'I was broken by it. I am just so grateful that we won it in 2012. That helps me enormously. '
Last year, Terry revealed on the podcast for Front that it was 'probably the worst moment in my football career'.
He said: 'I am still not over it today. I don't think I'll be that someday. It is interesting because as a player you have so many highlights, but it is the lows that stay with you longer.
'That night we lost back to the hotel and the manager asked us all to have a drink, but I stayed in my room because I couldn't undergo the boys. Eventually I went downstairs and had a beer with the rest of the group.
'I just remember that I was on the 25th floor in my hotel room, looked over Moscow and wondered:' Then why did it start to rain then, why did I slip?
'The hardest thing for me was that three days later we had a friendly for England against the US near Wembley and we pulled 1-1. I scored a header from outside the box. If I could exchange two goals in my career, it would be those two. '
He also told Sky earlier in the months after the Miss: 'Every morning I wake up, that's the first thing I think about. I'm still so desperate about it.
“But I am a big man with a big character and it is now up to me to deal with it.”
For the 2008-09 season, he added: “I'm definitely looking forward to the new season, so that I can get rid of that bitter disappointment for the club, and especially for me.”
