I've never seen that picture of Stephen Hawking before
Just a good scouse lad
Old enough to know he was far better than Beckham for halal
Lads is that Gavin Harris?
-agging Spanish women in sunny Madrid and you can't stop it
Based Macca
Who are other successful England players abroad? Is it just him and Lineker?
MacManaman didn't succeed abroad, tho. Spent 90% of his career at Madrid injured. Like, literally.
Literally won the CL for them.
Yeah, but Madrid liked him anyway because he worked hard, ran fast, and was satisfied with coming off the bench. Just like Jonathan Woodgate desu.
sh-it
with an offside goal
That was Woodgate, you mong. McManaman was a regular in the starting XI.

Why did clubs give everyone a one size fits all shirt back then. Never understood this. It's like playing Sunday league and did so to save costs or something
Never understood why we brought in Beckham and dumped McManaman. Macca was fucking great.

>this is considered offside in boludolandia
You look like a Farcant to me. Shouldn't you be drinking sprite and practising your diving?
Forgot pic...

Fake news. He was treated like shit by the scum that run that club. Still he left the club a legend adored by the fans
wrong player you spastic
Mark Hateley had a few decent seasons with Milan and Monaco in the '80s.
waddle was the world transfer record when he went to marseille, back when they were relevant. still a hero with their fanbase apparently.
Also we both missed the most obvious one; Kevin Keegan with Hamburg.
always liked the look of baggy shirts t b h
True.
Thing is, Florentino's victory in the 2000 elections over Lorenzo Sanz, then the President and the guy that built that team was a shocking surprise. Florentino campaign was hyped by the media and big business as to "modernize" Real Madrid (i.e. make it a goy corporation with the aroma of a murrican sport superfranchise). Internationalize it, make it a marketing product, attract moneys, media attention, collect customers from around the world, sell kits to the chinaman and etc. That kind of shit. It all started back then.
Still, it was an unexpected victory, because Lorenzo Sanz' Real Madrid was doing fucking great, had just won the CL and another one in '98. The relationship between the President, the staff and the players was great.
When Florentino took over, the relationship with the team, especially with several iconic players of the team like Hierro and Redondo was tense. They also left bitterly through the backdoor. Even though they were too adored by the fans, Florentino managed to wash it all out with his publicity stunts, media presence and new spicy signings like that of Figo, and later Zidane, and all within an atmosphere of "grandeur" propping up his pharaonic vision and project of an "international club" comprised of mega stars, which in those years for him it meant being a big selling celebrity (Beckham) over a more logical approach to building a competitive team. Then Makelele left because Florentino didn't consider him a superstar neither a celebrity and we all know how that fucking Galacticos project ended...
>English players do not play abroad because they hate continental Europe
>You will have to travel to England if you want to watch the likes of Kane or Vardy play in situ
"legend" and "adored" is a little much
Gazza left lazio pretty well liked and very well fed from what I remember.
hoddle did pretty well at monaco til his knees exploded

Post-Makelele Madrid was comedy gold.

Cannavaro adjusted pretty poorly to Spain as well.

Is this a motherfucking SMT Nocturne reference?
aggy haired scousers
English don't know, but Welsh is a prevalent theme.
Ian Rush
Bale
And the best by a country mile ... John Charles
You missed Guti being club captain, that's fucking comedy gold sausage
Mcmanaman was one of the greatest to ever put England's NT jersey on, you stupid wanker
rush was shit in italy, unless you literally mean foreign country as in england
He was a great faggot
Sounds like current United desu
memes aside I would like to see Kane at Real Madrid instead of Kevin
Mcmanaman, Lineker, Hughes, Beckham, Ince and Keegan were class
my dad swears glenn hoddle was the best english player of all time. does look good on youtube tbf.
