It Was 15 Footballing Years Ago Today...

All The Summer Moves
Your one-stop destination for all the summer coming and comings in the Premier League this summer...
It Was 13 Footballing Years Ago Today...
...That Bruce Grobbelaar, Hans Segers and John Fashanu were charged with match-fixing, the little terrors. Elsewhere, Luis Figo incurs the wrath of a (sort of) nation, and Stoke go potty (geddit?)...
It Was 42 Footballing Years Ago Today...
...That the friendly rivalry between England and Argentina was started by a stroppy Argie skipper, who even sat on the Queen's carpet. Also, a rather less glorious era starts, and Freddie makes a fool of himself...
It Was 18 Footballing Years Ago Today...
...That the hilarious 'Dr' Josef Venglos took over at Aston Villa, taking them from second in the league to just shy of the relegation zone. Also, Rio makes his move and Gerard makes a good call...
A Pleasure Doing Business With You...
...or not, as the case may be. "It is Ferguson's way of doing business but it is not my way," said one man - as Spurs go to the FA, we look at others who've been annoyed by Fergie's transfers...
It Was 44 Footballing Years Ago Today...
...that the game was robbed of a classy midfielder in the most unusual of accidents. And one of Britain's best-ever strikers made his all-conquering return, signing for...er...Newport County...
Getting All Teary Over Superstars...
There's nostalgia aplenty in F365 Towers at the return of Superstars. Though if were still the 70s, we would expect to see JT et al on their bikes (and doing squat thrusts). And Frank sink in a canoe...
It Was 21 Footballing Years Ago Today...
...that Howard Kendall left league winners Everton to test his mettle in Bilbao. It turned out his mettle wasn't very good. Also on this day, a manky bloke helped his side on the path to glory...
The Championship Chancers Xi...
It's too easy to pick Dave Kitson or Sebastian Larsson, so we've gone for a Championship XI that haven't had a fair crack at the Premier League yet. Are they worth a Premier League chance?

The new season is nearly upon us so what better time for you to get off the internet and actually playing some footy?
It Was 10 Footballing Years Ago Today...

...that almost 200,000 people watched one of the bigest shocks in football history, while July 16 also saw England beat Mexico, Malcolm Allison go back and ManYoo appoint a new captain...
Everyone's Playing The Waiting Game
Nothing's bloody happening because everyone's waiting for someone else. As far as we can work out Liverpool need to sell Xabi and Tottenham need to find a striker. Then it can all begin. Maybe...
It Was 42 Footballing Years Ago Today...
...that Goodison Park was treated to a classic Hungary v Brazil clash, while in 1974 Brian Kidd joined Arsenal to allow Ray Kennedy to join Liverpool. You see, not a lot has changed really...

This week England's Under-19 side are in the Czech Republic for the Euro Championships - three years after they last qualified and reached the final. Where are they now? Hartlepool and...
It Was 78 Footballing Years Ago Today...
...that Brazil huddled under blankets with hot tea as they played their very first World Cup match, losing to the weather-hardened Yugoslavs. It's also the day Cloughie finally left Middlesbrough...
Early 'leaders' In Big Sack Race...
Gary Megson probably should be odds-on favourite for the sack (£11m for Elmander?) but Kevin Keegan takes that honour. But would the smart money be on Alan Curbishley? This way please...
It Was 34 Football Years Ago Today...
...that Bill Shankly caused tears in Merseyside by handing in his resignation. Elsewehere, on a busy day in history, ManYoo bought a legend, the first World Cup goal was scored and France triumphed...
It Was 42 Footballing Years Ago Today...
...That England's ultimately successful 1966 World Cup campaign got off to a flat start with a 0-0 draw against Uruguay. Also, Don Revie chases a massive bag of cash, and the original Ronaldo signs...
It Was 30 Footballing Years Ago Today...
...That Spurs somehow pulled off the equivalent of buying Kaka, by persuading Ossie Ardiles to sign on at Tottingham. Also, Mo Johnston p***s off both sides of Glasgow, and El Tel is duped...
Sidwell's Arsenal Class Of 2001...
Steve Sidwell won the Youth Cup twice with Arsenal. We look at the 2001 side and wonder where they are now. Braintree, Barnet and Bournemouth some of them, while Hoyte clings on...
It Was Ten Footballing Years Ago Today...
...that Mark Hughes joined Southampton for just £650,000 and ended up delivering far more yellow cards than goals. And almost 30 years ago Villa sold another midfielder with less fuss...
It Was 18 Football Years Ago Today...
...that West Germany and Argentina played out 'probably the worst, most tedious, bad-tempered final in the history of the World Cup'. Does that make you feel as old as we do in F365 Towers?
Taking A Step Down To Step Up...
With Peter Crouch taking a theoretical step down in the hunt for first-team football, we take a look at some who have made the same decision. A warning for you Peter - not all have gone well....
