🏆 Euro 1988 | Nostalgia
🕑 Added 2024-06-13 16:28:14 +0000 UTCClayton and James look back on the 8 team European Championships in West Germany that featured redemption for The Netherlands as they would go on to win their first and major trophy.
It was also a first major tournament for the Republic of Ireland who would beat England in their opener. The Three Lions would have a disaster and forgettable tournament around a backdrop of concerning hooliganism with English club sides banned from Europe.
And there's also details on runners up Soviet Union, tales from other tournaments that are interlinked and more.

Just to add a random bit of trivia on England here. I’m sure that Tony Dorigo remains the only outfield England player to go to a euros or World Cup having not debuted for his country yet
