Classic nicknames #1
“The Butcher of Bilbao”
Andoni Goikoetxea.
The Athletic Bilbao centre-back became infamous for his crunching challenges on Maradona & Schuster in the 1980s.
FIFA confirm single-player walkouts won’t happen at the World Cup.
They will instead debut what is being called a “fan-centric pre-match ceremony” intended to showcase squads not just starting XIs. As revealed, the walkouts remain non-traditional.
All players will stand in the centre circle for the line-up reads and national anthems.
There will also be creative new visual elements, including the use of hand-held flags.🏆
We always put one of our postcards in with each order, this month it’s been the Baggio “Il Divin Codino”.
There’s a new postcard ready for April orders & we’ll try to do a new one each month, possibly reprinting a few old designs.
Great to see Lens back and top of Ligue 1.
Les Sang et Or (The Blood and Gold) are a cult club for us, with incredible support.
Anyway, the Lens ‘80 sweatshirt is available from TheMagicSq.com store.
