My Grandad jumping round his living room with his dodgy knees. I miss watching football with him so much even if he was a blue. Thank god my mum married a red though.

Obscenely good finisher. Should've been a red imho

He went to World Cup 94 as well and did diddly squat there too.

Darko Pancev
Aron Winter
Marco Branca
Atilio Lombardo

Pancev and savicivic against us for red star that night. Unplayable

I remember them showing it kicking off in the Italian parliament after a title deciding match between Inter & Jive after Inter were denied a clear penalty, only for Juve to get one straight after, can't find it online though.

Let's face it, most things were better in the 90's.

Aye, the way he hits it in his stride must have made it so difficult for goalies, no back lift just slotted home on the floor.

Is a shame so many teams play such safe football nowadays, would love to Martial take control of the ball in our own half with 2 men and half a pitch in front of him.

Aye, can't believe he tainted his career with Chelsea and City.

Should have got him when Eric left instead of Teddy 2 weeks.

He didn't speak a word of Italian when he moved there apparently.

Didn't know that

Literally everything.

Not to the defence. They got nil.

One of my favourite Serie A memories was Paul Ince being sent off for Inter despite being nowhere near the other player and the other guy just falling over and holding his face.

Here's another one. Watch Ince being booted up the air in the penalty area and then get sent off for complaining.

And the keeper threw the ball at him!

Used to tape the highlights show on Sunday at 1am off Channel 4 then watch it after school on a Monday. Also used to watch the live Sunday afternoon game on Channel 4 in my bedroom because I could as it was on normal tele.

Used to love managing Roma on Champ 01/02.

Top reds used to watch Serie A in the late 80s on S4C with a fuzzy picture

Used to do exactly the same. Because they were obscenely good.

Batistuta Montella Totti and Delvechio to pick from
