Who else watched the first Serie match to be screened live in the UK?

It was on BSB at the start of the 1990/91 season with defending champions Napoli away to Lecce.

It ended 0-0.

The following day, they showed the whole match between Torino and Lazio.

It too ended 0-0.

A couple of memorable 0-0 then.

The most memorable thing about the two matches were that the BSB commentators were only too ready to slag Maradona - 1986 was still fresh in the memory. To be fair, he wasn't in great shape that season.

Also, Pasquale Bruno was sent off for Torino after elbowing Ruben Sosa of Lazio.

The strange things that stick in the mind...

Anything that the great Baggio did , especially his corner kick goal with brescia, I think it was 2001. Also, Roma lifting Lo Scudetto while getting mobbed by the tifosi

my top 5 italian football moments would be

1.palermo wining promotion
2.palermo 5-0 catania
3.juve 6-1 milan
4.luca toni hattrik against belarus or some1
5.cannavaro picking totti's nose

Some of my favourites from the first C4 season....

92/93 - Lazio 2-2 Fiorentina
92/93 - Napoli 2-3 Juventus
92/93 - Sampdoria 3-3 Lazio
92/93 - Milan 5-3 Lazio
92/93 - Milan 1-1 Inter
92/93 - Roma 0-1 Lazio (Gazza scores winner 5 mins from end - magic celebrations).

Diego Simeone's goal in the 0-3 victory over Milan 97/98.

I remember Buffon stripped to his pants. I really fancied him then. *sigh*

Best memories:
- Milan 6 - 0 Inter.
- Inter getting beaten on the last day of the 01/02 season to hand the Scudetto to Juve.
- Beating Roma 3 - 2. Can't remember which season now but it was an ace game.
- Sheva's wonder goal v Juve in the 1-1 draw a couple of seasons ago.
-Winning the Scudetto in 03/04

Was that before you saw the photograph that led to his being known as 'bendy Buffon' by users of this foro?

I don't know what on earth you are talking about, Dave. I think you will have to show me this photograph so that I can form my own er opinion.

God knows how many times i've been forced to see that pic when i'm looking for stuff for my website

Just go to Yahoo Images and type bendys surname in....

milan-juventus 1996/97 season when we beat them 6-1.
