Serie A in the glory years

[Stevie S]

Watched Milan on Sunday they were very pedestrian. barely a player under 30. and I was willing them to do well. beaten ay home to Zurich last night as well

[Guest The Big Green Bastard]

I had this top to wear when i was 21. It was the best kit i'd ever seen.

 

 

Parma were quite handy at the time too.

[Little Sammy]

I hate Juventus. Always have. There was always something fishy going on probably even before Moggi took the helm. The number of times they used to win games with penalties in the last minute was disgusting. And that fuckface Inzaghi always offside. Funny how they could win something like 28 Serie A titles and just one Champions League (I don't count the one in 1985 and no one should either). Fuck them.

Aye, I remember when they had Zola and Asprilla up front together and Fernando Couto at the back. That was some team as well.

Watching Milan nowadays is a bit like Liverpool circa 1990-1994. A lot of veteran players the wrong side of 30 who had done a great job over the years, combined with new players who failed to capture the aura of the veterans they were brought in to replace. Keeping a squad together for so long, despite success, can stagnate the team. Milan are still trying to get the likes of Pirlo, Seedorf, Gattuso and Inzaghi to do the things they did brilliantly only a few years ago, except these players have lost a gear or two, reducing their effectiveness.

Milan are terrible at the moment. If they lose Pato, they're properly fucked.

[old skool tom]

Leg.

 

 

this is him! Giuseppe Signori

 

amazing finisher from what i can remember as a 15/16 year old lad watching him on C4.according to wiki (must be true! haha) he's regarded as the greatest player never to of won a winners medal and his goal scoring record looks superb.

 

i'm shite at putting videos up. can someone put one of the youtube ones on this thread chaps?

[WaltonRed]

Sinisa Mijahlovic is the top goal scorer of free kicks in Serie A history I think.

[trefoil]

there was another player who used to score free kicks at will, quality ones aswell, think it was Andre Cruz at Milan, cant remember exactly because I was only young used to love watching that Italian footy though

[Guest The Big Green Bastard]

cant forget the divine pontail's goalscoring antics, has the all time penalty conversion record in italy (76 in 91) shame he fucked up at usa 94.

To be honest, as far as my generation's concerned, it'll never get better than Zidane in a Juventus shirt IMO.

Recoba at Inter used to smash a good free kick too.

Now theres a Youtube player if ever I saw one and i've seen plenty.

Used to love the Italian footy when I was younger. My first Liverpool game was the season before Italia 90 and with the English players who went over there in the few seasons after that competition (Platt, Gazza, Walker etc) I was well into it.

 

I've got loads of good memories of watching Italian games with my Grandad on a Sunday afternoon, where he always (without fail) fell asleep. Some of the players were absolute class; Van Basten, Gullit, Vialli, Ravanelli, Zola, Signori, Chiesa, Del Piero, Klinsmann, Bhreme, Baggio (Roberto and Dino), Maldini, Costucurta, Peruzzi, Zenga, Pagliuca; the list is endless.

[Guest the boy]

I always had a soft spot for Dario Hubner. Don't know the nearest thing he'd be to in the domestic game.

[Vincent Vega]

I never fell for Italian football, it was just so slow. I admired the dominant Milan team of first Saachi and then Capello, but I put down most of their success to their foreign players with the Dutch trio and Boban and Savicevic being by far and away their best players.

 

I have never had any time for Juventus and I've been aware of the corruption in their game since I was a kid. My dad used to go on about us being cheated out of a European Cup final before Celtic and the Mancs even won it by those referee bribing cunts Inter in 1965.

 

I also resented the national team for knocking out the Brazil team at the 1982 World Cup, with the just back from a ban for cheating Paolo Rossi the hat-trick hero. It was the first World Cup i got into as a kid and I loved that Brazil team of Zico, Eder, Socrates, Falcao and Junior, all out attack and goals from everywhere. The modern day version are boring and functional in comparison.

Sampdoria for me, with Platt and Lombardo, glad there doing well so far this season.

those old preds Zidane is wearing are quality, seen Del Piero in that vid aswell for one season (possibly 96/7) he was the best striker in the world, shame he never really lived up to his potential

[jme]

Milan in 1996/97 had an amazing team which included (from memory) Baresi, Maldini, Costacurta, Desailly, Panucci, Albertini, Boban, Davids, Baggio, Simone & Weah. I bought the white lotto away shirt with Weah on the back on holiday in Lake Como. Saw Paul Ince driving down the main strip in a bmw convertible with his missus and being about 10 I nearly wet my pants with excitement - looking back I'm not sure why!
