Rare footage of an Ajax training session in 1967 under Rinus Michels.
During this training, some of the greatest Ajax players of that era can be seen, including Johan Cruijff, Piet Keizer, Sjaak Swart, Klaas Nuninga and Henk Groot. In a drill that we would nowadays call a rondo, we see how Michels constantly stays sharp on the execution.
When Cruijff plays a sloppy pass, Michels intervenes immediately. “Sjakie” Swart and “Henkie” Groot also get a remark that they need to make themselves more visible in the exercise.
The footage offers a unique look behind the scenes at Ajax during a period when the club was on its way to the European top. Here the foundations were laid for the football with which Ajax and Dutch football would conquer the world a few years later.
Featuring:
Johan Cruijff
Piet Keizer
Sjaak Swart
Klaas Nuninga
Henk Groot
Rinus Michels
A wonderful snapshot of Ajax on the rise.

The restored 8mm film from which this footage was taken was shot in April 1967, most likely by a fan following Inter, before and after the second leg of the European Cup semi-final played in Sofia against CSKA.
It begins at Linate Airport, then there are images presumably of the delegation accompanying the team in the stands of the stadium before the match, and the return home after the draw, from Sofia Airport.
You can see the key figures of Inter from that era: President Angelo Moratti, Manager Helenio Herrera, various directors (above all lawyer Peppino Prisco), the players (Mario Corso, Giacinto Facchetti, Sandro Mazzola, Jair and the others), and several journalists following the team, including Gianni Brera and Aldo Biscardi.
For the record, the match ended 1-1, the same as the first leg, and a play-off was needed, which Inter then won, going on to play the final, which they lost to Celtic.
To digitize and restore 8mm and Super 8 films with the same professional quality.

In 2000/01, Sturm Graz made history as the first Austrian club to advance from the Champions League group stage.
Needing a result on the final matchday, Ivica Osim’s side travelled to Istanbul and held Galatasaray to a thrilling 2-2 draw in a cauldron of an atmosphere. Twice they came from behind.
When they landed back in Graz, 5,000 fans were waiting at the airport.
A proper European fairytale.

Even early in his career, Vujadin Boškov already spoke like a true coach.
In this old TV appearance, a player asks him what he needs to improve to become a national team candidate.
Boškov answers with pure coaching clarity:
“You have cunning and skill in tight spaces… but you lack penetration and sharpness in attack. You tend to get lost in certain phases of the game.”
Precise, honest, and focused on the collective picture — the same mind that would later lead Real Madrid and win the Cup Winners’ Cup with Sampdoria.

In a 1987 Soviet documentary, Valeriy Lobanovskyi calmly dismantles the eternal debate:
Should football prioritise results… or should it mainly entertain the crowds?
His answer is pure Lobanovskyi — cold, clear, and uncompromising.

January 1949, Milan.
Two-time World Cup winner Giuseppe “Peppino” Meazza sits at home with his family one last time before leaving for Turkey to coach Beşiktaş.
Camera rolling, he looks into the lens:
“I’m leaving with a heavy heart… Milan, my little girls and all my loved ones.
But rest assured, dear sportsmen: I will work seriously and bring honour to Italian football.
I promise you this — Peppino of London, Paris and Budapest.”
The first Italian coach ever to take a job abroad.
A legend saying goodbye to the city that made him.

To the bandits — prisons.
To the people — Lobanovskyi.
A legendary Ukrainian football banner from the late 90s/early 2000s. Fans twisting the famous political slogan “Bandits to prison!” to show their absolute support for Valeriy Lobanovskyi.
True Dynamo Kyiv love.

On 3 March 1982 at Stadion Wojska Polskiego in Warsaw, the first football match in Poland after Martial Law was played.
It made history not for the score, but for the security: several thousand soldiers and militiamen filled the stands to prevent any anti-Soviet unrest.

Kubilay Türkyilmaz was lighting up Bologna in Serie B during a dark period for the club.
Despite the financial and sporting chaos in the red city, the former Bellinzona & Servette star still enjoyed huge popularity thanks to his lightning-quick dribbling and clinical finishing for Switzerland.

At the end of the 1978/79 season, Hamburger SV claimed their first-ever Bundesliga title — a team packed with big personalities and pure entertainment.
At the heart of it all was their superstar: Kevin Keegan.

At just 18, he made his Bundesliga debut for Karlsruher SC… and conceded 4 goals. Even then, his unbreakable confidence was clear.
A true legend. 💪

in 1983, Felix Magath wrote his name into football history!
In just the 8th minute, he scored the only goal of the European Cup Final as Hamburger SV defeated Juventus Turin 1-0.
The winning strike that brought the trophy to Germany. A true legend.

Golden scene from the "Die Profis – Behind the Scenes of Borussia Dortmund" documentary: Young Lars Ricken making music with his band, showing his metal records (Kreator etc.) and talking about club life. 90s vibes at its best!
