Trying to see my team-sheet.
A bit more on my players:
OSCAR CORDOBA
Outstanding goalkeeper who built on an imperious South American keeper at club and international level when he moved to Europe - first as an emergency rescue act for Perugia in Serie A, then at Besiktas for four years, winning the league in his first season.
MANUEL AMOROS
Top class wing-back who was an important part of the all-conquering Marseille side of the late 1980s and early 1990s, winning the title in 3 seasons and reaching 2 Champions League finals. Should forge a dominant wing partnership with Savicevic.
KENNY SANSOM
Mr Consistent who was an ever-present in the PFA Team of the Year in 8 consecutive seasons - the most of any defender in the history of the English game.
DOMINGOS DA GUIA
Often regarded as Brazil's best ever defender who spent two seasons at Boca in his mid-20s.
CARLOS GAMARRA
Played for Corinthians at the peak of his late 1990s powers, when he was also voted as the best defender in South America and won the Bola De Prata.
VIKTOR ONOPKO
Spartak Onopko was very much peak Onopko, scoring 21 goals in his first two seasons, winning Footballer of the Year in both campaigns, and crowned with three conseutive league wins. Generally under-rated, but a proper defensive player who shone very highly in Russian football.
JARI LITMANEN
Enjoyed several successful seasons at Ajax, culminating in a dominant mid-90s peak where he bossed the Champions League as the fulcrum of Van Gaal's system.
RUI COSTA
Early 20s Benfica star who knew how to play alongside other creatives and who would hit the ground running in Serie A with Fiorentina.
HENNADIY LYTOVCHENKO
Some footage of Hennady Lytovchenko, one of the top tier of '80s ussr midfielders. and part of the Euro 88 team. He has became known for his excellent right-foot passing and shooting, vision and partnership with Protasov at Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk, who had their years as a title-challenger mostly coinciding with his presence. Not a quick player, but high workrate and skillful on the ball, he favoured the right side and imo drifted between a style that fits in with a lot of the more technical - wide in a 4-4-2 - British/Irish midfielders of that era like John Robertson, Kevin Sheedy, Trevor Steven, Strachan and a more contintental central organising role. For the NT generally played a supporting role as Loban preferred organising his schemes through his own players with orchestrational/through ball abilities in Mykhaylychenko and Zavarov ( Lytovchenko having only just moved to Kyiv). Surprisingly for someone that was a very consistent assist provider from dead balls, he was only an occasional taker of shots from free kicks.
His and Protasov move to Dynamo for the 88 season was a source of considerable bitterness among fans at the times as Kyiv had long been accused by rivals of owing success to poaching all the other Ukrainian clubs talent, but actually ended up almost certainly being a huge motivating factor in Dnipro winning their second ever league title (first in 83) in 88 despite their two star players heading to an already generally stronger club. They have finished second in 87 with those two leading the way, but a decline was now expected by everyone only for the reverse to happen. To add further insult Dnipro then finished aboved them in second place for the 89 season too.
Lytovchenko and Protasov eventually moved to the financially dodgy at the time Olympiakos in a backward career step no doubt facilitated by the random appearance of Blokhin there in his first entirely unqualified for managerial role.
footage is mostly just goals with unfortunately hardly any passing, but the highlight of the couple of seasons at the end of his career with Olympiakos does highlight some dead ball delivery as well.
BRIAN LAUDRUP
Prime Laudrup who enjoyed his best years at Ibrox where he stayed despite a bid from Barcelona. For many the best to have ever played in the Scottish game, he was twice Player of the Year and showed his class for Denmark at every tournament in the 1990s (winning the Euros in 92, player of the tournament in the 95 Confederations Cup, second top scorer at Euro 96, and in the all-star team at World Cup 98). To give a flavour of just how influential he was, he scored or assisted 12 out of Rangers' 14 goals in the first three months of the season after joining.
DEJAN SAVICEVIC
2nd in the Ballon D'Or for Cvezda where he won the European Cup.
SUB: DAVOR SUKER
Early 20s goalsmith who notched 39 goals in 68 games for Dimano Zagreb. Will enjoy the level of service around him.
