Cesc Fabregas also made his debut on that night as Arsenal went through on penalties but Spicer struggled to stay in Arsene Wenger's plans.
The Romford-born midfielder turned a successful loan spell with Bournemouth into a permanent move in 2004 before earning himself a switch to Championship side Burnley, where he made almost 80 appearances.
Spicer later featured for Doncaster, Leyton Orient and Notts County.
