Classic nicknames #1 “The Butcher of Bilbao” Andoni Goikoetxea. The Athletic Bilbao centre-back became infamous for his crunching challenges on Maradona & Schuster in the 1980s.

Footballers making music… 🎶🦅 In the early 80s, 4 Lazio players stepped into the recording studio to help sing “Vola Lazio Vola” - the single would go on to become the club’s iconic anthem. #SSLazio #VolaLazioVola #Lazio #Calcio #FootballNostalgia

Happy birthday Hansi Müller Gifted midfielder with a sweet left foot, he was one of Europe’s hottest talents after helping West Germany win Europa80 playing alongside fellow youngster Bernd Schuster. Sadly his form dipped after moving from hometown club Stuttgart to Inter in 82

Happy birthday Dino Baggio. Ok, so he maybe wasn't as talented as his namesake, but as a defensive midfielder he was bloody good. 6 years as part of that great Parma side, as well as spells with Torino, Inter, Juve & Lazio.

Happy 124th birthday to Dutch club SBV Excelsior, formed #OnThisDay in 1902 in the Kralingen district of Rotterdam. Nicknamed “The Kralingers”, they were one of the first working-class football clubs of the Netherlands.

I’d really like to think that “ Big Suit Friday” was an actual thing in 90s Italian football 😂
Retro Football Italia@retrofootitaliaJul 23
Pre-season 1995, Inter. Big-suit Friday. Inter legend Giacinto Facchetti with 2 new signings from Argentina - Sebastián Rambert from Independiente and a young lad from Banfield who’d prove to be a half-decent signing, Javier Zanetti.

🎂 - Emilio “El Buitre” Butragueño One of football’s big names in the 80s, his goals were a key part of the rejuvenated Real Madrid side that won 5 titles in a row in the 2nd half of that decade. Everyone assumed he’d end his career at the Bernabéu but he moved to Celaya in 1995

🎂 - Happy 124th birthday to Fluminense. Formed on the 21st July 1902 by Oscar Cox in the aristocratic neighbourhood of Laranjeiras in Rio de Janeiro. Where does the name Fluminense come from ? It’s the original term given to people from Rio de Janeiro.
