Kit launch. Rangers in 1992. McCoist. Goram. Gough. Three Ibrox legends. Those adidas equipment kits are classics.

[A Funny Old Game @sid_lambert]

It’s Frank Leboeuf’s birthday today, you remember him.

Once scored the sort of goal that no self-respecting centre half should be scoring.

Bonnet de douche. That is tres bien, old son. Tres bien indeed.

Abedi Pele. One of the greatest African players of all time. A star in Marseille under Tapie’s reign. He had speed, close control and chipped in with goals. Reigned supreme as African footballer of the year from 1991-93. Classy.

Football, Bloody Hell - Part 4 | Collective Collaboration

Here is a short 🧵taken from @allybain latest analysis taken from #ManchesterUnited 98/99 Season.

United Narrow 4-4-2

As United began to dominate possession both full backs moved forward into higher positions, this was complemented by the inversion of Beckham into a deeper central midfield role, with Blomqvist and Yorke working as Pseudo-Attacking midfielders.
