Just seen @Inigo Montoya thread about the 1982 Brazil WC team (probably the best team to never win the WC) and made me think about the Brazil Italy game from that WC. It was fantastic but it's 38 years ago now and I thought "I bet a lot of posters haven't seen it".
Which made me think.... while football is suspended, what past games would you recommend to others to watch? Maybe not the obvious ones .... 98/99 games, finals, etc .... but something you think others may not have seen.
The Brazil Italy game is definitely worth watching if you've never seen it (and even if you have to be honest)....
Personally, I remember us going to Villa (93) who were a REALLY good team then. Night game, we were in our black kit, we were good, they were good, saves, woodwork, both sets of fans up for it and the famous Lee Sharpe goal celebration .. fantastic. Ron Atkinson interviewed after said it was the best game he could remember... Fergie said it was excellent game too (he makes a comment at end of YouTube clip). Wish I could find full match
And from a fantastic day of football, when the FA made a (rare) brilliant decision to play the 1990 FA Cup semis back to back. Two games, 13 goals, lead swapping hands in both games... just an amazing few hours of football (and the final wasn't bad either!)
