Serie A in the glory years

[Nunavut Patrick]

This Viola fellow has got me reminicing and the old serie a kits

Used to love wathcing the serie a, and to be honest, it was often the only football on in Canada back in the early 90s. Used to look forward to those sunday mornings.

Leg.

[George Costanza]

Sampdoria were ace to watch. The Milan side were brilliant.

[Nunavut Patrick]

Breakfasts of chorizo sausage and strong coffee hungover from the night before.

 

When they turned the water cannons on the Genoa fans at one match and then switched over to another...classic tv...as it'd all kicked off.

 

Baresi scored a goal one match and it was a give and go and I just remember the commentator:

 

Baresi gave he got and it went in.

I'm made up they (Sampdoria) are doing well this season. Used to follow them quite a bit when they won the serie A and went to the European Cup final. Brilliant team. Pagliuca, Mannini, Cerezo, Catanez (sp?), Vialli, Lombardo, Mancini, Vierchovod,...Boy I love this team.

[James Dean]

 

Still have that shirt. My favourite non Liverpool player at the time.

Gazzeta Football Italia.

 

What a programme. Used to love Sundays as a kid and Channel Four would have an Italian Match on.

[Trumo]

Some great great players when Gazzetta was around. Beppe Signori was brilliant for Lazio but never quite did it for Italy. Even the underrated ones had class, such as Marco Simone, Antonio Benarrivo and Alberigo Evani. Back then, Serie A and the Premier League had a monumental gulf in class.

[dirty_sanchez]

I remember when Lazio has a three pronged attack of Beppe Signori, Pierluigi Casiraghi, and Alen Boksic. They were proper brilliant. Used to like Aron Winter too. One season I remember they spent like £70m in one summer on the likes of Salas, Fuser and some others. That's more than Rafa spends now and that was 10 years ago.

Always remember this goal from Mancini, think somebody scored a better one the week after but can't remember who.

I'm reminded of the enigma that was Gianluigi Lentini.

[CWD82]

Weah scoring from his own half was the pinnacle.

 

I remember some sensational Parma teams as well. When AC won the league one season and they all ran the length of the pitch and did a line of dives holding hands sticks in my head as well

The Parma teams where class. With Crespo and Cannavaro and the like.

[Fink]

Haha yeah I remember watching Weah do that live - i was screaming for my dad to come in from the garden...

 

IN all my life, I have still never found a job that would compare to James Richardson's. Sat with a cappuchino and a zabaglione on his cafe table in beautiful places reading the paper...

 

What.a.job.

remember that goal well - he broke out of his own penalty area I think, passed it someone who held it up on the half way line, they flicked it through and baresi's run broke the offside trap and he ran through and scored - he was 34 or 35 at the time!

[Woo]

What a side the Juve team of the late 90's were;

 

 

That was the reason I got into Italian footy.

[Little Sammy]

Any of you guys remember Milan's defeat to Juve 6-1?! I remember Marco Simone scored at the end for Milan but that was one hell of a drubbing. I used to watch Quelli e Il Calcio every Sunday because that's the only football we ever had in those days....

[Trumo]

The Premier League right now is about where Serie A was about a decade ago. Clubs overpaying for players with money they don't really have.

Agreed.

 

 

The 98 kit was fucking boss too.

James Richardson is a god.

[dirty_sanchez]

That Juve team was even better with Vieri in it.

[Trumo]

That Juve team was even better with Vieri in it.

 

Yep. Vieri, Boksic and Del Piero was one hell of a strike force. It had everything. And behind them creative types such as Zidane and Jugovic. How they lost to that Dortmund team is a mystery. Great line up.

[Woo]

Three consecutive European Cup finals (96, 97, 98 ) is some going though, even if they only managed to win one of them.

[JMARKH]

Champ man Italia, quality!

[RedKnight]

I watched the Genoa v Juve game last week and it was a wide open, attacking game. I was pleasantly suprised, Genoa looked good, I'd love to see them return to glory. Fuck Sampdoria.
