#OnThisDay in 1990

#Italia90 kicked off

The BBC opening credits to #Italia90 still gives me goosebumps 36 years later

To mark the World Cup, we start a new series on @TheRestHistory about NATIONAL ANTHEMS.

Today: the USA.

Features Star-Spangled Banners, the burning of the White House, ancient Greek poets, British melodies, accusations of racism, & Jimi Hendrix.

Are we all in agreement that the chant is no longer:

“He signed for Villa, from Carrow Road”

But now:

“He scored for Villa, in Istanbul”

We ought to celebrate his wonderstrike rather than Norwich

@AVFC_Connor_ Oh yes, but I doubt we could afford him.

[Tom Holland @holland_tom]

"For there's nothing as powerful or as great
As when a husband & wife, united by oneness of mind in their thinking,
Keep their home together—a great bane to their enemies,
A blessing to their friends, & their renown is on everyone's lips.”

Odysseus' great praise of marriage.

@AVFCStatto Heroic.

Ferris Bueller took his "Day Off" 41 years ago today. June 5th 1985. Happy Ferris Bueller Day #80s

Sad to hear Anthony Head has passed away.
The Gold Blend “will they, won’t they” ad campaign was a cultural phenomenon, an ongoing saga that lasted for 6 years, captivating audiences of 30 million. The inevitable kiss even made front page news. A landmark TV moment.
RIP Anthony

@GoalhangerHQ Great work. Congratulations to all involved.

[Stephen Clark @ClarkHistoryPol]

@dcsandbrook Congratulations!

It's a great company and the other podcasts are good or very good or excellent. But @TheRestHistory is the absolute jewel in @GoalhangerHQ's crown.

@GoalhangerHQ @thetimes @GaryLineker Great work!

[Stephen Clark @ClarkHistoryPol]

@hoyer_kat Great work, Katja. 🇩🇪🎉

[Jacob Tanswell @J_Tanswell]

Aston Villa’s season was not always smooth. They needed resilience, an ability to hang in there in the tough times and Emery’s trusted players to stand up. Matty Cash, offering a layer of consistency, did just that.

He was my #AVFC player of the season.
