The Football Pinks

I’m neither Welsh nor a Manchester United fan, but so many of my favourite goals as a kid came from the boots of Mark Hughes. He scored twice in the Cup Winners’ Cup final against Barcelona on 15/05/1991 in a 2-1 win. His second was magnificent….

🇪🇸 La Liga’s relegation battle is completely absurd 😳 8th-placed Real Sociedad are STILL not mathematically safe with just two games remaining. They sit only 5 points above 19th-placed Girona. I genuinely can’t remember a survival battle this insane 🤯

Who's the first player you think of when you see this Liverpool shirt?

Released on this day in 1995. One of the greatest singles of the era (or any era!). This version on Jools is one of all time great live television performances. A track that’s become synonymous with our events over the years. McAlmont & Butler - Yes 🙌

Rotterdam was the setting as Tottenham, led by legendary manager Bill Nicholson, became the first English club to win a European trophy on 15/05/1963. They faced Atlético Madrid in the Cup Winners’ Cup final and ran out 5-1 winners. This is the first of the two goals Jimmy Greaves scored on the night.
