Interesting to see the how success in Europe was measured in 1991. QFs of the UEFA Cup and Cup Winners Cup was worth a mention. I understand the reasons why things were so different (banned from Europe etcetera) but it’s still incredible to compare English clubs in Europe then and now.

The show was produced by CSI Limited, the same company that produced international video for EPL when EPL was founded, and the same company that currently produces international video for the English FA Cup, the Community Shield, and the English national teams.

The opening animation, with the stadium being surrounded by a football, was exactly the same as the opening animation used by CSI for EPL products when EPL was founded.

Does bring back some memories. I remember the beginning theme song being different in highlight show that was shown in the States. The 91/92 season was a good one indeed, although it starkly showed the decline of my beloved Liverpool.

Grobbelaar making complete hash of a routine back pass or cross and blaming his defence as always

Alex Ferguson probably would have lost his job if Manchester had not won that League Cup, and only god knows how that would have changed football in England.

Virtually all British management and players.

A young Giggs, Gary Speed, Dwight Yorke.

If Leeds had kept Cantona.

Legendary Football Grounds conforming to meet the requirements of the Taylor Report as English teams gingerly stepped back into Europe.

Based on those garish Man U/Arsenal away shirts, Adidas designers were probably taking full advantage of the ecstasy craze.

And I, hoping to get it all, over a week later, providing my scheduled VCR taping at 2 in the morning wouldn’t be pre-empted by a cheerleading competition.
