I liked watching Tomas Skuhravy, just cos he scored headers. And the big Swede (Kennet Andersson?) was also a dab hand in the air. Genoa and Foggia generally guaranteed goals in their matches, instead of what felt like the perennial 1-0's elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mkowlthesexynewversion Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 It was novel to have overseas league football to watch, first time that had happened. Sky had the Super Sunday game but it kicked off at 4pm so these games were in the 2pm fuck all else to watch slot. With Gazza going to Lazio as well.

Tylluan Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 Read a book called Sunday Muddy Sunday, about pub football, and one of the teams in the book called themselves after an obscure East German team after blagging a kit. Decided to try it with the Italian teams by sending letters saying how much we followed them on Channel 4 and how they were our second team. Didn't hear a bean until one day a huge box got delivered containing 15 full Sampdoria away kits so Rawmarsh Star FC changed its name to Rawmarsh Sampdoria for a season. We got our team photo in their programme and had to keep them updated on results. Fantastic Asics kit but it had Daewoo Matiz as the sponsor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got it at start of the Premier League in 1992. Not sure I was well off but I treated myself after spending 2 months or more studying for my accountancy exams. Got to see the Kaiserslautern game on SAT 1 - the German Channel. It also had some decent soft core porn, 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its what you do in Rome though 😀 I went to watch Roma and Lazio in 2018 with a few mates, one of which was living in Rome at the time and it was a really enjoyable game. Dzeko (not sure that's how you spell it), used to play for Citeh was on fire that day - he didn't score but the Lazio backline couldn't handle him Edited April 10, 2022 by Tank_Owl2,0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't the game kick off at 6pm our time or something. I remember getting in from work channel hopping in hope more than expectation. Sorry off on a tangent, but my youngest can't quite fathom how few games in comparison there were, but in the early 90s how thrilled seeing foreign football felt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They probably put in the best performance in a final that I have ever seen (better than Guardiolas' Barcelona) and won the game 4-0. Tassotti, Baresi, Costacurta, Maldini was probably the dream team defence of all time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
