Now here's a game that I've never played before.
Spain & Real Madrid star Emilio "the vulture" Butragueño had his own "Futbol" game n 1988.
It was made by Ocean and for Spectrum, Commodore 64 and Amstrad CPC.
Anyone out there ever played it?

Today Brian Clough would have been 90 years old.
For all his classic quotes and moments, I'll never forget the great computer game he put his name to back in the 80s.
If you ever played it, you'll know what I mean.
What are your favourite Cloughie moments?

What's your favourite Scotland shirt from the past?

An arcade classic!
Who remembers playing this? And what was it called?
There was also an unofficial club version.
I'll let you in on a secret. I never completed this at all!

Goal of the day comes from Paul Gascoigne.
Back in 1989 @tottenhamhotspur.com were leading Charlton 2-1 at Selhurst Park when Gazza got the ball.
He made the rest look easy.
Get him in the England squad!
