We need some Mustapha Hadji at Coventry stories from @Keith Houchen That was our first season in the Championship when we had him and Jordan Rhodes banging them in up front. We had a weird thing of signing Portugese players at the time due to shady dealings regarding Steve Kean and agents. Kind of a shitty precursor to Wolves. Tbf, Nuno was good in the half a season or so he played for us. Edited March 26, 2020 by The Maestro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He started warming up with about 15 left, our idiot fans started chanting ‘you fat bastard’ at him. So he sat back down and quit a few days later! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One result; you, three years ago. Â Fortunately it was plenty enough to let me figure it out. As it's from Cleets, my money is on it being Rafa.

Mr_Danger Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 I dread to think what he calls managers who didn't lead them to European glory like Conte or Mourinho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members SuperBacon Posted March 27, 2020 Members Share Posted March 27, 2020 All on footballia.net if you can't wait for May. I went to every England home game from Venables first Vs Denmark through to the semi final. Was right behind the goal for the pens. Don't think I've ever cried so much as that night. Still think Gazzas gonna make that cross. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Cod Eye Posted March 27, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted March 27, 2020 (edited) I don't think I'll ever forget that summer. I was 14, drinking heavily(i.e. a 2l bottle of White Lightening a night! Hardcore) and playing Thee Lions on what felt like a perpetual repeat. The tournament had averthing you could want, and I also STILL think Gazza is going to get his toe on that cross in the semi against Germany. I only put the Gazza goal vs Scotland on the other day for my kids to watch and it hasn't aged a bit... Edited March 27, 2020 by Cod Eye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members I Bent My Wookie Posted March 27, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted March 27, 2020 Speaking of forgotten clubs people played for, I always get a laugh when people try to claim Steve Bull as a Hereford legend when he played 6 games for us at the end of his career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators PowerButchi Posted March 27, 2020 Author Moderators Share Posted March 27, 2020 (edited) We didn't qualify for it, we were brutally shit at the time. England didn't qualify either. It was a good tournament. I loved the Germany team of 1996. Just 2016 is known by any true football historian and expert as the greatest tournament of all time. Its scientific fact. Edited March 27, 2020 by PowerButchi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Along with 1990, I think nostalgia and the wider cultural significance plays a massive part in the enjoyment of it now. Think 2004 and 2008 were better. 2000 I have no idea about. That was during my "Lost my smile" phase. Agreed on the Germany team though, I've always loved the Germans and was pleased that Jurgen eventually lifted the trophy. On 2016, I'm sure you've seen it, but Don't Take Me Home is on Amazon Prime and well worth a watch if you haven't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
