A Funny Old Game

It’s 22 years since Big Dunc enjoyed a nice wee chat with his good pal Steffen Freund. Bring yer dinner.

31 years ago today: Paul Durkin, John Wark, and The Most Theatrical Red Card Since Records Began…

On Hector Bellerin’s birthday, a reminder of the time when he rocked up at the F1… and no one had a fucking clue who he was.

19/03/88 Coventry 0-3 Derby on a pitch like a chocolate mousse. Probably a day for long studs, lads. (👌🎥 @1968Tv)

It’s Alessandro Nesta’s birthday, so here’s 60 seconds of him grinding creativity into the dirt…

On Roy Wegerle’s birthday, a reminder of the ITV Goal of the Season at Elland Road in 1990/91. Just look at those dancing feet…

18/03/93: Fancy flicks and tricks by Weah, then a wonderful wallop by Ginola for PSG vs Real Madrid in the UEFA Cup. Magnifique, old son. Magnifique.

Who remembers when #LeedsUnited's big Aussie striker Mark Viduka put #Liverpool to the sword with a stunning four goal haul in a 4–3 win at Elland Road. Pure Barclays heritage, that’s not a just a MOTM performance, that’s cult hero status secured 🫡 What’s the best individual performance you’ve ever seen? 👀👇

Hernan Crespo, for Lazio vs Juve, 25 years ago today. It’s a very tidy finish, but we’re really here for the Hollywood pass from Juan Veron. Decent side, this.

31 years since Andy Hinchcliffe did this at Loftus Road. So much to appreciate here. Not least the kit, the whip on the free-kick, and the glorious state of that playing surface...

19 years ago at Old Trafford: Boro’s James Morrison’s seen enough of Cristiano Ronaldo flicks and tricks…

This volleyed pass from Zizou was disgusting.

It’s Raul Meireles’s birthday today. You remember him. He had absolutely no interest in passing this ball.

Classic comebacks! On the route to Cup Winners Cup glory back in 1963 #Spurs turned around a first leg quarter final deficit in style with a 6-0 return leg win against #SlovanBratislava at White Hart Lane.

It’s 25 years since Sean Gregan got the ball at Carrow Road… and thought he was playing Sensible Soccer. Unreal.

It’a Big Ron Atkinson’s birthday today. You remember him. Resigned as Harchester boss, then announced his new club via the car window. Fucking robbed by the judges at BAFTA that year. Robbed.
