Podcast: The 1990s – A Retrospective

Retro kits, Gazzetta Football Italia, football games – we discuss everything ’90s.

The 1990s was a pivotal decade in football. The Italia ’90 World Cup kicked off a decade which would see countries disappear, new tournaments emerge – such as the Premier League and Champions League – and others, like the European Cup-Winners’ Cup, disappear.

Our guest is Dan Barker. Dan runs a magazine – A Whole New Ballgame – dedicated to all things football in the 1990s. We look back at this decade as the terraces came down, the bucket seats went up, the kits expanded, and the computer games got better. We also discuss players, goals, games and more.
