Looking forward to this one, I guess the strongest test yet, if we can come out with a win or at least a draw then I will be very happy. Edit: These match day threads are getting worse Chazz, relying on Dutch to pull you out the ****. Buck your ideas up.
Ive made my decision. I can't go back on it, I'd lose face in front of the lads Dennis is having his stomach stretched ala cool hand Luke as we speak. It's a full dayer. Lesson learned
Surprised you weren't aware of that Dennis. It was a real blow for Italy as virtually every player killed was in the National side. That Torino team was rated the best there had been at the time. First made aware of it by my dad when the Munich crash being discussed some years after it and he told me about the Torino one. Maybe why Torino is in the hearts of the residents of Turin in a way Juventus aren't.
I'm surprised too When I read it I has a vague recall of another football crash, but wouldn't have remembered it was Torino I'm probably s lot younger than you though
I knew about it but i always remember it being mentioned in the Manageress with Cherie Lunghi. Cooorrrrrrrr
Normally nothing when I've tried them in the past, try DM sports I think it is, don't have the link on my iPad.
I was following Italian football for a bit when I had BT Sport and read about that crash, terrible, seem to remember it involved a monastery or something too without reading back up on it. Another meaningless friendly then, fingers crossed nobody gets injured
Can I just say that since they got the new sweage plant there is a lot less po floating past in the river...
Not a lot of people know about the Superga disaster. At the time Torino were the dominant force in Italian football, with all 10 of their outfield players represenimg Italy. Think of that? Mental. I think - without checking - they had just won 5 Serir A titles on the trot. And then on one tragic occasion the entire team was killed. I know it's not a competition but it had a far greater impact than the Munich air disaster.
