Introducing the latest offering from our brand new magazine series, Anthology. In it, we cover various competitions from each year of a decade, starting, naturally, with the 1990s.

Football in 1990/91 paints a vastly different picture to what we see today. For us, it was just better. The depth of quality, the litany of world-class talents, the magical far-flung adventures in competitions like the Cup Winners' Cup. It was a time before we knew everything about everyone, when the wonder of little-known players and teams still sparked the imagination.

As football entered the 90s, a new world was taking shape, both within the game and outside. And in few seasons was it better depicted than 1990/91. It was the year of Red Star's legendary European Cup win, replete with their stunning squad of little-known talents, the birth of Argentina's new generation led by Gabriel Batistuta at the Copa América, and unforgettable title wins in Italy, Germany and Spain. 

It reminds us of Andy Bernard's famous line, “I wish there was a way to tell you’re in the good old days before you’ve actually left them.”

Welcome to Anthology: 1990/91.

Please note: this issue is not included in the subscription and must be ordered separately. A new year will be released alongside each new magazine, taking the place of reprints for the next ten issues.
