Do you have an article to write?

 

[JTG]

Bristol Rovers 1989/90

Martyn/Parkin

Jones, Twentyman, Yates, Alexander

Purnell/Nixon, Holloway, Reece, Mehew

White, Saunders/Penrice

Class of their own, champions, Wembley and shafted the C*ty 3-0 on the night we went up

Best. Team. Ever. No aguments.

 

[stavros]

I couldn't really argue with 5 straight European Cups so Puskas and di Stefano won it for me, with Michels and Cruyff's Ajax in second.

Beckenbauer's Bayern Munich in the 70s might've been worthy of consideration as the concept of a sweeper was almost as revolutionary as the Dutch Total Football. Also what about Puskas and Kocsis' Ferencváros? They came from nowhere, although it was before European competition.

 

[peppery]

I've never seen the Real 0adrid team of the 50's and 60's so I can't really say its them. The best team I ever saw was the Ajax team who won it in 90's. They played Real Madrid in the Bernabau and mad them look like the Away Team.

 

[leftistangel]

I'm suprised the 93-94 Milan side that won the league (unlike Sachi's 89-90 team) and crushed an excellent barcelona team 4-0 in the European cup final, isn't listed.

 

[Rocket Romano]

The two most recent are the two most unlikely in my mind

Fuck me this is the nost deluded post on U75 i have ever read

I'd agree with you about the Bayern team, but Del Bosque's Real Madrid were pretty special - even with Steve McManamanamanamanaman making up the numbers!

 

[tangerinedream]

Fuck me this is the nost deluded post on U75 i have ever read

Hows about

Banks
Bryan
Barlow
Lineghan
Bradshaw/Lydiate
Holden/Philpott
Morrison
Mellon/bonner
Quinn
Preece
Ellis/Watson

The greatest nearly side ever. Pool 95/96

If Ricky Holden had staiyed fit we'd have been established in the Championship by now.
If eric bloody nixon hadn't been signed

 

[spartacus mills]

What about the Peñarol side of the early 1960's and the Boca Juniors of 2000-2003ish? They'd get my vote.

 

[g force]

I can only go on what I saw with my own eyes....and as much as it pains me to not voet for Barca, Sacchi's AC side were something else.

The Cryuff Barca team was sublime, but a lot of Barcs fans, me included, think Bobby Robson's team was actually superior in how it played the game and their ability to attack.

on so many levels

 

[Bomber]

Where's Stoke City 74 ??

 

[Final]

Only voted for Milan early 90s.

Not see comprehensive stuff prior to mid-80s, and no one since has come close to that Milan side... awsome in all parts of the field, as a team, not just a fancy collection of individuals.

 

[sipotential]

since i wasnt about too see the early madrid side in the
50's im goin for MILAN van basten, rikyaard, baresi...

 

[leftistangel]

Personally I don't even think Sachi's 89-90 side are even the best Milan side ever because they failed to win the Scudetto in that period

Pos 1988-89 P W D L F A GD+ PTS

4 Juventus 34 15 13 6 51 36 15 43

Nor did they win in 1990 either:

3 Juventus 34 15 14 5 56 36 20 44
4 Inter 34 17 10 7 55 32 23 44

Though to be fair the standard and calibre of players in Serie A then was phenomenal (in 1990 Italien sides won all three european cup competitions and nearly repeated that feat on a few other occasions 89-96)

But for me Fabio Capello's more adventerous 91-92 unbeaten side is the best in the modern era. Its just a pity they were banned from Europe that season so aren't as remembered outside Italy as much.

4 Napoli 34 15 12 7 56 40 16 42

Their overall unbeaten run stretching into 92-93 was 58 games and their average score in that period was 3-1

91-92 Milan: Rossi S. (30); Tassotti (33), Maldini (31); Albertini (28), Costacurta (30), Baresi II (33), Evani (27), Rijkaard (30), Van Basten (31), Gullit (26), Massaro (32); Donadoni (30), Simone (15), Fuser (15), Ancelotti (12), Serena A.

aye. Capello's team was the one I was thinking of (I thought poll said 89-93).

 

[g force]

On pure stats the '94 Ajax team is hard to beat - they won the Champions league unbeaten - 20 games in all.

Plus if you look at the age of the team and the subsequent transfer fees that group players amassed it's pretty phenomenol.

 

[tommers]

surprised that santos is there but not the botafogo team of 62.

a quote from a brazilian journalist... "In 1962, when Pelé was injured, the frontline of the "Selecão" became Garrincha, Didi, Vavá, Amarildo e Zagallo. Well, only Vavá did not play for Botafogo at that moment. "

so almost the entire front five of the brazilian national team of 62 played for botafogo. plus nilton santos, the left back (and a member of the FIFA 100)

If you add in jairzinho, who made his debut for botafogo in 59 (when he was 15) then this seems an odd omission....

 

[friedaweed]

They're all shit teams those lot. I don't know where your 442 researcher is getting her info from but shes missed out probably one of the finest teams to play on grass.

how about this for a team

Sly Stallone
Michael Caine
Pelé
Bobby Moore
Osvaldo Ardiles
Paul Van Himst
Kazimierz Deyna
Hallvar Thoresen
Mike Summerbee
Co Prins
Russell Osman
John Wark
Søren Lindsted
Kevin O'Callaghan

If this teams not in your poll it ain't worth diddleysquat 'mate'

 

[Red Faction]

i think the inter side of 1967 were pretty special, with their catenaccio defence and all...

 

[Dilzybhoy]

No one has mentioned the first non Latin team to win the European cup.
Every player hailed from no further than 30 miles from the club ground.
They won every single competition they entered in 1967

They done all this when their national team was able to humiliate the "world champions" in their own midden.


Edit>>> Just noticed RF's post above.

That sly was a nifty player...although a bit prone to rambo like aggression

 

[Larry O'Hara]

Ludicrous!

Given the domination of European competitions in the 1970s by English Club sides--eg Notts Forest & another one whose name escapes me, plus successes by Celtic & even Man Utd, I find the exclusion of any sides from these shores makes this poll non-credible. And anyway, whgat are your criteria? Eg for success on a budget recently, Monaco & Porto deserve mention. Facile poll. Why exclude UK teams--after all, they entered same competition!
