Hi Jamie can I suggest Graham Taylor’s 89/90 Villa team.
It’s pure Elton Welsby Big Match nostalgia.
Finished up 2nd in the league with class players like
Ormandroyd , Olney and Spink but sprinkled with class players like McGrath , Cowans and Platt .

Did you know, when Malaga won the Intertoto Cup in 2002, was the same year Fulham did - as covered by Stu Burgess in our Fulham 09/10 podcast open.spotify.com/episode/4iJX... - Stuttgart also won the Intertoto Cup that season. There were 3 finals. Can’t understand how that tournament didn’t take off

Off to La Rosaleda tonight for some La Liga tier 2 action. Racing (Santander) top of the league, top of the north, travelling to Malaga, bottom of the south. Thats a 1000km jouney; 10 hours in a car, 9 in a train. Impressive stuff. #larosaleda #malaga #racing #laliga #byfarthegreatestteam #football
