🇲🇽 #Mexico86 - Opening Ceremony, #Azteca, #CiudadDeMéxico 🇲🇽

Score predictions, please ...

Unremembered Footballers Gallery Defender, Dražen Mužinić joined #NorwichCity from #HajdukSplit for 300K in 1980. Voted #Yugoslavian Player of the Year in 1977, his time in #Norfolk failed to impress the locals, his contract cancelled in 1982 after just 30 appearances in 💛💚.

🇲🇽 #Mexico86 🇲🇽

Zbigniew Boniek realises he's left the oven on.

One-club man, Berti Vogts - aged 33 - signs off on his brilliant #BorussiaMönchengladbach playing career, captaining #DieFohlen to 1979 #UEFACup success against #RedStarBelgrade at the #Rheinstadion, #Düsseldorf, a 1-0 on the night win sealing a 2-1 aggregate triumph.

Wonderful #AVFC artwork from 🎨 #thesefootytimes.

Muhafızgücü SK 🇹🇷 - Turkish Champions 1927 - The #Ankara club qualified for the Final beating #Altinordu at İstiklal Sahasi, Ankara 5-1 to claim their only league crown. They were dissolved in 1981.

Away in ruggedly attractive #Carlisle for the weekend to watch my - and Sir Paul McCartney's - favourite band, the quite brilliant #HardwickeCircus, at The Old Fire Station. If you're uninitiated, look 'em up on #Spotify. If you're in town, go see! Here's Fussball Geekz signing off til Monday.

Who lives in a house like this?

1.FC #Magdeburg coach Heinz Krügel flaunts the silverware after the East #German club at the close of the 1973/74 campaign, a season during which #DerClub won the #DDR #Oberliga and the #EuropeanCupWinnersCup.

#RealMadrid 🇪🇸 🇮🇹 #Internazionale Promo, #UEFACup Semi-Final 2nd Leg, April 1985. #LosBlancos recovered from a 2-0 1st Leg deficit to win the tie 3-2 on aggregate - Santillana (2) & Michel completing the salvage job.

Eder and Socrates engage in an act of brutal lovemaking.

#DDR #Oberliga Winners Medal - As presented to 1974/75 East German champions, 1. FC #Magdeburg.

Des Kennedy fires #Limerick 🇮🇪 into a 51st minute lead against #RealMadrid 🇪🇸 at Landsdowne Road in the 1st Rnd, 1st Leg of the 1980/81 #EuropeanCup. Late goals from Juanito (pen) & Pineda would rob the Irish men of probably the greatest shock of all time - 2-1 to #LosBlancos.

29/8/1979: The Battle of Oriel Park - When #ROI 🇮🇪 champions #Dundalk were drawn to face #Linfield from neighbouring #NorthernIreland in the 1979/80 #EuropeanCup Preliminary Round, trouble was inevitable. After violence & disorder, the 2nd leg was relocated to #Haarlem 🇳🇱.

'You won it, you pick it up!' #DynamoKyiv 🇺🇦 players deliberate upon the logistics of lifting the European Super Cup trophy after their 2-0 win over #BayernMunich 🇩🇪 at the Republican, #Kyiv secures a 3-0 aggregate victory; Oleg Blokhin bagging all 3 goals over the 2 legs.

Retro Terrace Heaven - Regenboogstadion, #Waregem, Belgium 🇧🇪. A stadium whose idiosyncrasies were erased by the wrecking ball of football gentrification in the early 2000s. The arena espied #Waregem's rise to European prominence in the mid-80s during a run to the ##UEFACup semis.

#USSR keeper Rinat Dasayev tends goal amidst overt political protest during the #Soviets #WorldCup82 🇪🇸 2nd Group Stage fixture against 🇵🇱 #Poland in the Camp Nou, #Barcelona.

Close your eyes now if you're an #Ajax fan. For one season only, JC dons the colours of De Club aan de Maas - the enemy, #Feyenoord - during the 1983/84 season. It proved a fruitful one for #DeStadionclub, winning an #Eredivisie/#KNVBCup double.
