This week in 1992: A revolution in football gaming. Glory days.

Post a banger that’s not in English… youtu.be/cVikZ8Oe_XA?...

🏆

#OnThisDay in ’93 Alain Prost won the #SpanishGP, Ayrton Senna was 2nd, & Michael Schumacher 3rd - the only time those 3 all-time greats shared an #F1 podium together. You’re looking at 183 GP wins, 166 GP poles & 137 GP fastest laps.

It’s Diego Simeone’s birthday today. You remember him. If you’re going to nutmeg someone, be sure to give yourself a round of applause afterwards…

29 years ago today: No PR spin. No media savvy. No carefully chosen words. Just pure emotion in the midst of a gripping title race. “You can tell him now, we are still fighting for this title. He’s got to go to Middlesbrough and get something.”

Final Fight 👊 FULL coin-op longplay (1989) I replaced the coin-op’s original intro audio with the enhanced Sega/Mega-CD version, syncing the voices and text. Rocking up to the arcades with a bag full of coins… 💰🕹️ youtu.be/5BQmV0QSnR0?... #RetroGaming #FinalFight #Arcade #coinop #1UP

On the anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic, we thought we'd answer a question that's often asked, "If they raised the Mary Rose, why not raise the Titanic?" Allow our scaled diagram to explain...

2017 ⏭️ 2025 👑

If you see this post, quote with a bridge from your gallery. The loosest definition of a bridge ever, but I’ll take it. Jerez ‘89.

It’s Branco’s birthday today. You remember him. “One steak & kidney pie. And a pint of Thunderbastard please, barman.”

On Carl Leaburn’s birthday, a reminder of when he won MOTM for Charlton vs Fulham in the Rumbelows Cup. His prize? A massive new telly, with Teletext and all the trimmings. “You ok to wheel it out of the store yourself, Big Fella?”

41 years ago at Upton Park: Clive Allen executes The Greatest Drag Back Of All Time. This was the peak of human evolution. We will never be better than this.

TELLY GOLD: Some classic Saint & Greavsie from this weekend in 1989. The chaps reflect on last week’s rugby wager. And as Jim tells a saucy gag about the Boat Race, poor old Saint struggles to hold in the giggles. Good times.

Advice for life from Eddie Jordan.

TELLY GOLD: On Ron Atkinson’s birthday, a reminder of his dramatic resignation at Harchester United. Like watching De Niro in his prime, this.

It’s the anniversary of one of the great Champions League goals. 25 years ago today Gabriel Batistuta got the ball at Old Trafford… and unleashed Hell. Clive Tyldesley can’t believe the carnage unfolding before his eyes. UN. FUCKING. BELIEVABLE.

On Steven Reid’s birthday, a reminder of when he hit the ball with the full force of a thousand suns.

After OutRun & Super Hang-On in 1986 & 1987, Sega’s AM2 arcade division released another game that I became obsessed by, in 1989 - #SuperMonacoGP! 😎🏎️ #RetroGaming #Arcade #1UP #CoinOp #gaming #RetroGaming #SteamDeck youtu.be/p0qAFTZ-kkc?...

It’s the anniversary of one of the smuttiest first touches in the history of association football. Robbie Fowler vs Brann Bergen, 1997. WARNING: Some viewers may find this content offensive.

The first game that I became _truly_ obsessed by, in my early teens in 1986 - Sega’s sprite-scaling tour de force, #OutRun. 😎🚗 #RetroGaming #Arcade #1UP #CoinOp youtu.be/-zOn9LKSDg8?...

Today’s the anniversary of The Greatest Goal Of The 90s. We’re not talking about Yeboah, Baggio, or Weah. Instead, I present to you: Gary Crosby at the City Ground, 1990. You sneaky little shithouse.

33 years ago today: Roby Baggio doing his usual bits and pieces for Juve vs Atalanta. Magic in his boots.

John Madden Football ‘93 was arguably peak gridiron on the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis, before EA began doing too much on the system in subsequent releases. 🏈 #gaming #madden #RetroGaming #SteamDeck youtu.be/5llvdiGJYDM?...

28 years ago today: The sort of scenes no one (absolutely everyone) likes to see at Saltergate. Bring yer dinner.

One of the filthiest first touches you’ll ever be witness to see.

Some Valentines Day smut from Ajax vs PSV in 1993. The ping from De Boer is impressive enough. But those three touches from Bergkamp are absolutely scandalous.

You have a garage that can fit only 4 race cars, those are : Le Mans Prototype Touring Car Single Seater Rally Car What you picking? Here’s mine ⤵️

Oh I almost forgot! #TDD #TransferDeadlineDay

We all watched the classic show in the 90s!

“Siri, show me The Absolute Shittest Goal Ever Scored” “Your search found Tony Cascarino for Villa #OnThisDay in 1991” “Marry me, Siri. Marry me…”

On Gabriel Batistuta’s birthday, a reminder of this savagery at Wembley in 1999…

Put the swords down. Think before reacting.

On Mark Stein’s birthday, a reminder of one of the most satisfying penalties of all time. Utter violence.

The IMSA WeatherTech Sportscar Championship 2025 field. Can't wait for this season. If last year was good this year promises to be even better.

This week in 1993: QPR and Man City gave us the most appalling 20 seconds of association football since records began. These men are heroes. We thank them for their service.

27 years ago on Tyneside: Temuri Ketsbaia And The Most Batshit Crazy Goal Celebration Of All Time. Sensational stuff.

This sublime John Barnes set-piece is 35 years old today. - Hands on hips - Sly look up at the wall - One step - Top corner - Keeper tangled hopelessly in the net Effortless.

24 years ago today: Two criminals make a very poor decision. And Big Dunc became the first homeowner to drag a burglar back INSIDE his house. Bring yer dinner.

It’s five years since Robbie Keane’s little lad decided to bin off mascot duty… and grab the glory instead. The celebration lasts a full 17 seconds. Sensational stuff.

It’s Vinnie Jones’ birthday today. You remember him. Was there contact? Looked like that mascot made a meal of it to me…

#HappyBirthday is a bit trite in the circumstances, but Schumi turns 56 today. We don't know his state of health but we must still say #KeepFightingMichael & we should never forget how dominant he once was. I’ll remember him like this: Ferrari F310, Monaco, ’96, en route to pole.

New Year’s Eve, 1988 Wimbledon lump it. Then Vinnie Jones lamps it. The Bootiful Game. Lovely stuff.
