@MMoftheD @davie_graham @matchmagazine @PremiershipYrs @90sFootballUK1 @80s90sfootball @sp1873 @TheSkyStrikers @TeamMatesGame @sid_lambert @retrofootballnw @djtonyperry Met him a week ago

Rangers in the 90’s had some ridiculously talented players. This guy probably tops the lot.

@Givemethe80s @matchmagazine @PremiershipYrs @90sFootballUK1 @80s90sfootball @sp1873 @TheSkyStrikers @TeamMatesGame @sid_lambert @retrofootballnw @djtonyperry Maybe, but in isolation Laudrup was something special throughout his career.

@MMoftheD @matchmagazine @PremiershipYrs @90sFootballUK1 @80s90sfootball @sp1873 @TheSkyStrikers @TeamMatesGame @sid_lambert @retrofootballnw @djtonyperry Gascoigne was better

@chegrimandi @JohnHartson10 @matchmagazine @PremiershipYrs @retrofootballnw @sid_lambert @90sFootballUK1 @djtonyperry @TheBorisBecker @80s90sfootball @TeamMatesGame @SensibleSWOS With his moon clause contract in his hand!

@MMoftheD @JohnHartson10 @matchmagazine @PremiershipYrs @retrofootballnw @sid_lambert @90sFootballUK1 @djtonyperry @TheBorisBecker @80s90sfootball @TeamMatesGame @SensibleSWOS I thought that was Stefan Schwartz at first.

“…he’s always got loads of tasty women by his side. That can’t be bad, can it?!” @JohnHartson10 imagines himself as anyone from Boris Becker to Barry White. Slightly traumatised by Match’s interpretation of Boris playing for Arsenal, mind…

@TeamMatesGame This fella!

Which Teammate comes to mind when you see this 95-97 Everton shirt?? #EFC #toffees

Mega Poster of Andrei Kanchelskis anyone? A rarity for me (unless it was a #Boro player) for me to remove the Match Facts section from the middle of the magazine to reveal these posters in all their glory.

@TheSkyStrikers @ByronicEnigma @matchmagazine @PremiershipYrs @djtonyperry @retrofootballnw @90sFootballUK1 @80s90sfootball @sp1873 @7RobLee @Sharpeyofficial Hahaha! Brilliant. Can you imagine that now? “So, Cristiano, who did you play for who was shit?” “United under Ten Haag - fucking garbage”.

@MMoftheD @ByronicEnigma @matchmagazine @PremiershipYrs @djtonyperry @retrofootballnw @90sFootballUK1 @80s90sfootball @sp1873 @7RobLee @Sharpeyofficial There's a feature in Shoot! I scanned, one of the 70s ones, which basically had a Q&A where one of the questions was "who did you play who was shit?" and they all answered..... Honesty used to be such a thing......

This seasons Premier League may be getting an exciting title race, but 30 years ago they did it way better. Here’s Match asking Premiership footballers the simple (not for some) question - Newcastle, or Man United?

@ByronicEnigma @matchmagazine @PremiershipYrs @djtonyperry @retrofootballnw @90sFootballUK1 @80s90sfootball @sp1873 @TheSkyStrikers @7RobLee @Sharpeyofficial Couldn’t agree more - and that’s why 90’s football was the best.

@MMoftheD @matchmagazine @PremiershipYrs @djtonyperry @retrofootballnw @90sFootballUK1 @80s90sfootball @sp1873 @TheSkyStrikers @7RobLee @Sharpeyofficial And if one of them did give a genuine answer it would immediately become a big story. "Everton player tips City in MASSIVE DISRESPECT to Arsenal". Cue a load of angry messages on X saying next time Arsenal play Everton all Arteta needs to do is pin that tweet on the wall.

This was the cover of @matchmagazine from #OnThisDay in 2002.

@TheSkyStrikers @Britpopmemories @matchmagazine @PremiershipYrs @djtonyperry @90sFootballUK1 @toystory @retrofootballnw @80s90sfootball @SensibleSWOS The best time.

@Britpopmemories @MMoftheD @matchmagazine @PremiershipYrs @djtonyperry @90sFootballUK1 @toystory @retrofootballnw @80s90sfootball @SensibleSWOS What a time.......

One thing I love almost as much as the footy content, is seeing the ads from the time. We’re almost on our fifth film, but here we are back in 1995 enjoying the humble beginnings of Toy Story via the Sega Mega Drive. Lovely stuff.

Find someone who looks at you the way Middlesbrough club captain Nigel Pearson looks at new record signing Nick Barmby, as the pair model the Boro's new kit back in the summer of 1995. @boro_memories

The days of the Player Manager. Should this be a thing again? #MFC #Boro

“Hopefully, I will have been careful enough with my money to go into the clothing trade once l’ve finished playing. I’ve got plenty of contacts in the business and I want to set up my own shop.” Former Villa man Ian Taylor discusses all things fame, money & post-football career.

@MMoftheD @GtpFarming @matchmagazine @PremiershipYrs @TheSkyStrikers @Coventry_City @retrofootballnw @sp1873 @stusfootyflash @sid_lambert @SensibleSWOS @90sFootballUK1 Who?

File this under “90’s footballers you forgot existed”. Anyway, sounds like a thoroughly nice bloke. Love how “getting a pub” was still a thing for footballers back then when they retired. It’s what makes 90’s footy unique - that clash of old and new eras colliding beautifully.

Other things you forgot; it was once called the Endsleigh League.
