Used to love to too TEK, still watch it when I can on a Sunday night.

The football show on BT hosted by Richardson is excellent, rounds up the the games and stories from France, Germany and Italy each week with native reporters.

As for teams, always liked Fiorentina, Batistuta was my favourite player when I was younger and the purple Viola strip with the big 7up sponsor was a winner for me.

Doing well this year too, off to Florence in the summer so will hopefully see the stadium.

Was a big Fiorentina admirer too Andy.

Batistuta and that purple 7UP strip are indeed iconic 90's fitba images.

Mind some game where their supporters ran on and started ripping the strips off the players.. was mental.

After Scotland playing in their fantastic stadium in Italia 90, I always had a soft spot for Sampdoria.  I've always longed for Dundee United to have the odd season when they do something radical kit wise, whilst retaining tangerine as the main colour and the Samp kit would be my choice.  I reckon if done with a collar like last seasons black kit, they would be a record breaker.

Loved watching Gazetta and James Richardson for the above reasons.  I even have the theme tune for Gazetta as a CD Single!!!

For anybody that's interested I will be auctioning a signed Inter Milan top from the 2005-2006 season at some point.

Dundee had a similar kit when they were with asics.

My Italian team is juventus. Seen them a few times in turin and at old Trafford and ibrox.

Aye mate, I mind of that ane.  The Dee's have been more adventurous than us on the kit front over the years.

I was at a Manure Juventus Champions League game in the mid 1990s.  Del Piero scored in about 10 seconds at the shop end of Old Trafford.  I've never to this day heard a stadium go from bedlam to pin drop that quick after a kick off.  I think Zidane scored in the last min with a free kick.  My tee total mate (now sadly passed) drove us North Manchester to Aberdeen in about 4 hours in the days before speed cameras.  Luckily the rest of us were pissed and fast asleep, but none of us could believe what he had done!!!

Presume you've a contact or source for yer Milan Derby tickets.  You used to have to buy them from Banks as I recall???  Saw Scotland lose 2 zip about a decade ago in the San Siro.  Probably the most drunk I have been at a futba game as they had a Scottish fanzone at the race track over from the Stadium.  I also mind while we were all pissed in a bar in the shadow of the stadium the Italian support drank espressos!!!

Was at that game at old Trafford.  Met a few of the juventus ultras that I knew in Manchester who'd got me a ticket.  I went down on train.
The whole ultra thing over there is different class.  Loads of different factions.  At the time Juve had drughi bianconero and black and white fighters. Now I'm positive it's just the drughi.
Couple of my mates are Milan season ticket holders. Get them thru them.

Need to get my arse in  gear and get over to juves new ground.

Incidentally one of the Juve ultras that I know changed his allegiance to Sampdoria due to the match fixing with Juve lol

A signed F.C. Internazionale Milano top.

Nope. Still wrong. Just internazionale. Milan isn't in their name
 

well anyway i'll be auctioning a shirt of the 2005-2006 squad signed by Figo etc 

Fkt
March 2005 scotland game was there aswell some support over at that

Pished doon oh rain matchday horrific.

Nah sadly offshore so missing out or i would have been going with them.

I adopted US Lecce Spa in 1985 aged 16 when I went for a pint with my wee cuz in Malta where there was no age limit to drink then.

We found a crakin wee bar with play offs on the telly. We decided to cheer on Lecce as the wee team, the underdog.

They played with passion and won. That's how I ended up with a strange wee Italian team.

After being promoted to Seria A they finished bottom and were relegated after only one season, but defeated Roma 3–2 away in the penultimate game to deal a fatal blow to Roma's title hopes.
So at least wee latched on to a wee team far away that were promoted and relegated quick but hurt the team in that wee stint who cheated us out of playing Liverpool in the European Cup Final!









And BTW the name is pronounced LETCHY!

As in .....
