Atlético Nacional started the 1980s with a domestic title in 1981 under Argentinian coach Zubeldia, the club’s fourth out of record-high seventeen titles. After a few quiet years the club ended the decade strongly with a rapid rise to continental prestige under coach Maturana....

The 1970s represented a decade of highs and lows for Real Betis. League form varied wildly and the club spent the period alternating back and forth between the top two divisions. The highlight was the successful Copa del Rey campaign in 1977? Its foundation...

The early years of the 1970s was a challenging time for Young Boys Berne as the club sought to reestablish itself among the Swiss elite. The 1969-70 season brought a respectable fifth-placed finish with some vibrant home performances bringing high-scoring wins over FC Wettingen,...

FC Porto recovered in 1956 after a slow period in the immediate post-war era to take a first title since 1940. Another would follow in 1959; however, the previous season was a frustrating one as the club finished level with Sporting Clube on 43...

A number ten, a playmaker, an unerring finisher, a devastating set-piece taker, a physical powerhouse, endlessly brave, a leader of men, an inspiration, an otherworldly talent. Quite simply Diego Armando Maradona was all of these things and one of the few footballers in history...

There were fine players like Paul Van Himst, Leon Semeling, Jef Jurion, Wilfried Van Moer, and Raoul Lambert, but there was little to cheer for the Belgian national team during the 1960s. A failure to qualify for any significant international tournament meant Belgium's only...
