Description
Few Italian clubs carry quite the same aura as Sampdoria, which says much. If you were lucky enough to witness their prime in the decade between 1984 and 1994, you were treated to some of the most iconic, gifted players in calcio history.
Welcome to issue 75, a deep dive into this iconic Italian football institution. From the relatively recent merger that led to their birth, through to their troubled days as a club yo-yoing between Serie A and Serie B, These Football Times brings you the complete story of Il Doria.
All the legends are in: Mancini, Vialli, Lombardo, Montella, Quagliarella, Cassano, not to mention iconic managers like Vujadin Boškov and Sven-Göran Eriksson. We've also got the fleeting icons: Brady, Verón, Seedorf, Gullit, Ortega and more, as well as the many Englishmen who made their way to the glorious Marassi.
This is 140 pages in gorgeous print, all dedicated to that iconic Blucerchiati jersey.
