90s football

Easily the best decade for football before and since*

Football Italia

and most of my favourite ever matches were played during this decade.

*=my childhood perhaps prejudices my evaluation.

My favourite too, just before money completely destroyed the game. Still some characters about and you could relate a bit more to the players.

and Baddiel and Skinner fantasy football was ace

Shame Everton were so gash. Maybe it's my age but I remember the '80's far more fondly.

For me it is easily the best, I was 10 in 1990 so the early 90s for me was only about hero worship, later in that decade I started to understand the politics and started to become cynical of the game but before then it was so simple just watching your heroes kick a football around for 90 minutes.

1991 & 1999 were ok.

Everything in between was total & utter gash.

There is a video in the OP that says 95 wasn't bad

I think I bring this up in every 90's footie thread, but it never ceases to entertain me.

GREAT KIT OR GREATEST KIT?!

Mid-table was a successful season for us in the 1990s. Some great players mixed with utter crap.

Denim inspired kits must have been in fashion

I won this kit back in 1993. Received it as 2nd prize by predicting the correct scoreline of a Division 1 football game. Elton Welsby read my name out on Granada TV. I used it as my outdoor P.E. kit at school. My mates loved it. 1st prize was 2 tickets to the USA '94 World Cup final. Dodged a bullet there, as the final that year was poo.

Prices per ticket in the final in 94 were around $400. Thats equivalent to $650 today or there abouts. For two tickets i'd say that was a decent 1st prize if you sold them like.
