Fernando Redondo 57 today

Fantastic midfielder for Argentinos Juniors, Tenerife, Real Madrid & AC Milan

Only won 29 caps for Argentina

Don't expect Henning Berg will be sending a card 🤣

On this day in 1997 Paul Scholes provided this incredible assist for Ian Wright 🎯

[When Football Was Better @FootballInT80s]

Everyone’s second team at Mexico 86 became Denmark.

The iconic kit, the classy players, and their style of play were a joy to watch.

Their opening match of the tournament was against Scotland on 04/06/86.

Elkjær scored the only goal in the 58th minute after another typically flowing Danish move.

Scotland, for their part, were also wearing an all-time great kit!

#OnThisDay in 1992

John Barnes's #Euro92 hopes ended after two minutes in England's last friendly, rupturing his achilles tendon against Finland

Gary Stevens would also suffer a stress fracture in the same match

It wouldn't get any better for England

[A Funny Old Game @sid_lambert]

It’s the anniversary of England beating Italy in Le Tournoi in 1997.

Features a fine @IanWright0 finish. And the back spin on the pass from Scholes is saucier than Hugh Hefner’s memoirs…

[When Football Was Better @FootballInT80s]

One abiding memory of mine from Mexico 86 was the quality and variety of goals.

Every team seemed to have someone who could ping it in from an improbable angle with their traction engine of a foot.

On 02/06/1986, it was the turn of the USSR. Fancied as dark horses, they made light work of Hungary in their opening match, winning 6–0.

The second goal, from Aleinikov, was an all-time classic — the sort of strike that seemed commonplace in Mexico that summer.
