Nessun Dorma Special - Veni, Vidi, Vici: When Italian Football Ruled Europe

Nessun Dorma Retro Football Podcast · 2025-05-16

Never before or since, has one league been as strong throughout European football. Author and friend of the show, Dominic Hougham joins Martyn to talk about his upcoming new book charting the years between 1988/89 and 1998/99 when Serie A bestrode the continent like a colossus. Owners were as famous as the galaxy of star managers and players as mega clubs and those more provincial managed to get their hands on European prizes and this book takes us through how it happened and, mainly through Channel 4, how we were seduced by its glamour.

This excellent book is available to pre-order here before its general release on 2 June. https://amzn.eu/d/9hixGsO

Our 8-part series on Euro '84 will start next week.
