For those of you who think Barcelona have always played the beautiful game.....

Here's Barcelona playing the beautiful game against Athletic Bilbao in 1984.

Maradona didn't have hepatitis that night. Neither did Paco Clos, who manages an even better flying kick than Dieguito.

Ken McNaught was guest of honour at our Lions Club summer bbq, and he spoke about that game, amongst other things.
The guy on the floor was the centre half called Miguelie or something like that, and he was winning everything in the air.
Ken said he mentioned to Withey, that they had to sort this out, Withey told Ken, he would sort it!!!!
Hence, when the ball breaks to Shaw for the 1st goal, he was on the floor!!!!

Great team, great game, great kit.
My Grandad (God rest his) took me to the European nights, glory days.........

I've got a dvd of the whole game somewhere. Dirtiest team i've seen at villa park. The Super Cup wasn't even a cup at all, it was a plaque.
