You should not have taken the interview in the first place, there is always that one old bat at every job who has been there forever who will remember you.
Plus most HR's keep employee records at least 10-20 years after the fact. If it was a shitty retail job you might get away with trying to come back after 8 years, but in the professional world blacklists are FOREVER.
Just try again somewhere new, maybe try a different field altogether if nothing pans out.
Have you tried getting a friend to call your old job asking for a reference about you and seeing what they (the old employer) says about you?
There are services that do this for you too if you pay them- google for reference check services, pay one of them to check for you, and consult an employment lawyer if they are truly slandering you, but if it was the truth, give up and move on.
