It seemed Manchester United were in for another tough battle in the 1996/97 Champions League, but everything changed with Porto's visit in the Quarter Final!

Now that our review of season 92/93 is over, here are four of our favourite legendary players from that first Champions League season.

Who was your favourite out of this bunch? Did we miss anyone?

Do I have any Manchester United followers with any info on Patrick Stewart’s time at the club?

Heavily rumoured to become the next Rangers CEO.

Website data from the past 10 days. The Amorim article has the highest reads I've ever gotten. I was really skeptical about a 7000 word deep-dive & thought this would bomb, but it seems like that very depth & detail is what has been appreciated.
Big THANK YOU to all for reading!

My most-downloaded podcast ever is my fascinating interview with Richard Mills about football in Yugoslavia

Balkan-related content is among my most popular, for some reason

Our guest is Richard Mills, whose book explores the role of football during the short life of Yugoslavia. What role did it play in the build-up to Civil War?

This Saturday will mark 28 years since one of the most talked-about debuts in Premier League history.

Ali Dia's appearance in 1996 might be the most memorable, but we look at other examples of those who played one game & were never seen in the competition again.

Some players make their Premier League debut and then that’s it, forever stuck on one appearance, just like Ali Dia for Southampton.

Episode one now live!

Come bask in all the retro glory of season 91/92.
In this first episode, we look at the romantic fondness for the old European Cup, why it had to change & a closer examination of that 'trial' season, 1991/92, the year before football changed forever.

If you haven’t listened to our kick-off show yet, then we think that’s a little rude, tbh.

But here’s a little clip of what you can expect when our first official show, the Main Event prologue, drops later this week!

Can’t say I’m a massive fan of this.

Especially with it being basically a Director of Football remit covering everything from men’s team, academy, scouting, football operations.

We need very experienced people in these roles, recent past has proved that learning on the job here isn’t ideal.
