Well said Alex. I think a lot of us have a great love and appreciation for European football because of football Italia and the Likes of Batistuta, Weah, Baggio, Vialli etc
Let's be clear here - that presenter is Jamie/James Richardson; Peter Brackley was the main commentator in games and narrator to some of the video packages. Both legends of course, but Richardson is very much alive and well at time of writing.
Great memories of probably the best league in world football at that time. Terrific games, big name players, huge attendances, fabulous stadiums, Serie A not been the same for a long long time. Pity.
I'm from Bulgaria I was a kid in the 90s when Serie A was the first western championship they gave after communism! The second program then had only two. It was a real pleasure to watch Series A then great masters in almost every team!
The nostalgia is almost painful. My whole life in front of me. Watching Gazetta on a Saturday morning before going into town to buy some records and then watching the match on a Sunday afternoon while eating my Sunday dinner, quite often still hungover from the night before. I fell in love with Italy through these shows, even learned to speak Italian at night school lol.
Can't believe Totti is on this video when he has only just retired. What a legend! All the teams that have tried to sign him over the years and he stayed loyal to Roma. Not much loyalty between players and clubs/clubs and players so for him to be at one club for such a long career is incredible. Thanks Francesco!
Wow so so many memories, I remember so many of these goals throughout the 90’s, kids these days will just never know why series a was regarded as this league period of all time. Would I would give to watch this era again.
Goal of the Month was class on Football Italia, 36 year old left-backs roasting one in from 30 yards every month. English football at the time? A nice passing move. Forza Fiorentina and their purple kit!
Hearing this theme tune I can smell the Sunday roast cooking Great times My favourite Italian side Sampdoria Fallen of a cliff now Shame It's the erg shirt with Lombardo on the back .
Loved watching this programme every Saturday morning I hope one day we can see a really competitive seria a again where star players play for the big teams We are slowly witnessing that players are keen to play there Ronaldo high profile name Already dzeko icardi dybala perisic Matuidi gervinho Muriel good top notch players are wanting to play there it's a good sign for the serie a
Who remembers that moment when Vieri objected to being asked questions in English, which he speaks, by Richardson? Richardson without missing a beat slipped into Italian. Vieri didn't enjoy the moment. 😜 Richardson speaks English, Italian, French, Spanish and Portuguese.
Quality. Deep league at the time with stars on every team. As good as some teams are now, their leagues are not as deep as these squads were. People keep saying Serie A will be this good again, but truth is, no league was or has been as good between the late eighties through most of the nineties as Serie A. Most leagues can't field more than 2-3 competitive teams for a title, let alone do that consistently for European play. Spain has come close but the two horse race at the top kills it most times. Prem is great but it hasn't the quality and depth mid table like Seri A did here. It was the time, nostalgia is strong but the game has changed business wise.
I have not seen this video since the 90's, have been dying to see it again for many years...........can't believe I have a Bluenose to thank! hahaha, fuck rivalry, thanks bcfcarchive1875 you are a legend! VTID
I loved Beppe Signori too , forgotten how many class ball strikers there were back then . Used to watch this show every week and I think we got used to seeing so many technically wonderful goals .
wellington hey there, hope you're well. Ive got a VHS, much like this but i think the one i have is a year or two more recent. Sadly i have no VCR to play it on any more :( I do miss this being on TV every week.
Trying to find a goal from this kind of era of Serie A that I watched back in the day that had 2 bicycle/overhead kicks in a row after the first one from a different player smashed off the crossbar before the 2nd player scored his...anyone any clue?
I think more investment is needed in the league better infrastructure as well the life style is amazing in Italy Already Milan inter Roma Bologna have foreign ownership and more is needed to make it even better
Honest to good there is nothing nothing like this gives me serious goosebumps big Gary bloom gives ye goosebumps so does the 🐐 Brackley when Brackley shouts Batistuta it is. Fuckin magic don’t forget big Ken he’s magic in is bit big jimbo is unbelievable best Presenter ever with Saint n Greavsie watched 3-3 Samp Lazio an was hooked even Luther blissett is voice brings back major memories 🤣😂big Joe Jordan ray wi,kings all magic then the footy 😂🤣fuckinel it was magic best teams best managers best kits best stadiums used to love Riotolloooooo 🤣 Gianninninniiiiiii😂 Signorriiiii
No wonder Juventus' stadium was nicknamed the Stadio Delle Empty - best thing that ever happened to them was getting their own ground. Thats one of the main problems for all Italian clubs, renting decrepit old stadia from venal local councils that refuse to pay for any refurbishing.
I followed Fiorentina back in the day just because of their Nintendo sponsor and still follow them today, really miss the Sunday afternoons before greedy yank company's took all the ef in sports for themselves. Phuk the US!
Football Italia defined my young life. I've never stopped adoring Serie A since. The most beautiful league in the world

@@thomasarsenal5465 Well that was it though, they had the best players in the world. Now they don't, but I still follow it.
RIP Peter Brackley - the voice of Saturday mornings and Sunday afternoons
Absolute legend Peter Brack :-) I miss those Sunday afternoons, roast dinner and Italian footie, those were the days

Best league of all time, 80's 90's and 2000/2006
Serie A in the 90s and early 2000's was the best league ever!!!!
Dave Dante I agree. Sadly changed days now.
80s 90s 2000-2006

Peter Brackley commentary was the best Rave on ravenelli!!!
Peter Brackley was a brilliant commentator....😊
Used to watch this on Channel 4, loved every minute of it. When it finished my brother and I went outside to *TRY* and copy them.

Painful indeed. Love your comment!
Nice one.
The qualify of this is better than the over hyped crap in the Premier League that Neville and Carragher are pundits in. The quality is sublime
So glad I was alive to witness Football Italia...
Pure class from start to finsh.

P. Mid so true
Italian legend Gigi Riva Is a great example of loyalty as well.
You are a legend for uploading this.
The best period ever for football
Wow so so many memories, I remember so many of these goals throughout the 90’s, kids these days will just never know why series a was regarded as this league period of all time.
Would I would give to watch this era again.
Parma were great to watch in the 90's/00's Zola, Asprilla Crespo, Buffon, Cannavaro, Thuram and so many more.
Agreed, they were my team :-)
Thurum was solid as a rock
47:15 mancini celebration... love it... like what did you expect
Goal of the Month was class on Football Italia, 36 year old left-backs roasting one in from 30 yards every month. English football at the time? A nice passing move.
Forza Fiorentina and their purple kit!
This music brings back MEMORIES.......mannnn.... sunday afternoons in the 90's.... channel 4.. 1.30pm
Football died as Italian Seri A declined.
If anything, 80s to 00s Serie A was the Superleague that Florentino Perez is looking for
Nothing like a bit of Campianato, Di Calcio, Italiano on sunday afternoons on channel 4 😄
Thank you for uploading this.
I loved this show so much back in the day.
Happy times!
Thank's a lot for this video. I started watching football since UEFA Cup season 97/98, but i like the Serie A of 90s.
P.S. From Siberia with love.
Back then, Parma had one of the most iconic outfit of all time. Very, very beautifully crafted and designed. #teamkit #outfit
Del Piero sublime finish!
Hearing this theme tune I can smell the Sunday roast cooking
Great times
My favourite Italian side
Sampdoria
Fallen of a cliff now
Shame
It's the erg shirt with
Lombardo on the back .
Football Italia oh Happy Days
A trip down memory lane from when Serie A was indisputably the best league in the world.
3:46 Gary Bloom commentary. God I love that man.
9:37 too
Best toughest league in the world at the time
RIP Liga italiana
Thank You very much for this. Fantastic!
Puts todays premier league TO SHAME.
Yep.
Damn, Federico Chiessa's father is a monster player
Yes he was
RIP Peter Brackley
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
Rip luca
Don't forget batigol
21:30 reminds me of Tony Yeboah (i think thats his name?!?) scoring for Leeds Utd. Good memories.
As a kid in the 90s i used to own Fiorentina shirt with Rui Costa name .
Channel 4, Saturday mornings for la gazzetta and then the live game on sunday and in mid week for the mezzanoti. Good Times.
I just love the music wow
Magnificent isn't it ..... Funny fella James Richardson....
We'll never see football like this again. ever.
I used to think that Italian football was the best in the world at one point. I thought it was nostalgia but turns out I was actually correct.
Loved watching this programme every Saturday morning
I hope one day we can see a really competitive seria a again where star players play for the big teams
We are slowly witnessing that players are keen to play there Ronaldo high profile name
Already dzeko icardi dybala perisic
Matuidi gervinho Muriel good top notch players are wanting to play there it's a good sign for the serie a
Thanks! Great upload!
great memories
They only scored volleys in them days, such a lost art
From 1990 it was the greatest era of Football every team had array of talent now its all about money and var😂😂😂
Yes I remember my Sunday afternoon... Baggio Ronaldo batistuta and list go's on
Ace. Anyone got the 2 other Football Italia vids? There's the best goals vid of 93-4 and the season round up of the same season tape.
Cassetta Italia?!

What a vid many thanks. Takes me back can remember quite a few games. I find modern football boring in comparison.
Vialli & Del Piero simply awesome !

gol lazzo is actually funny goal
55:11 the celebration BAGGIO
I don't know what match was but Don Howe made me laugh by saying it wasn't existing enough.
Please upload the 94/95 BCFC season review again mate. Cheers.

Trying to find a goal from this kind of era of Serie A that I watched back in the day that had 2 bicycle/overhead kicks in a row after the first one from a different player smashed off the crossbar before the 2nd player scored his...anyone any clue?
It's Massimo Cappioli for Empoli (I think), and I believe it's from the 92/93 season.
I think more investment is needed in the league better infrastructure as well the life style is amazing in Italy
Already Milan inter Roma Bologna have foreign ownership and more is needed to make it even better
Ruben Sosa was quality always liked inter...

Batistuta, I mean
@@markcresswell1542 would have been interesting to see
My favorite bit was when the really blurry player scored a goal.
