Were Sampdoria the Greatest One-Off Champions of Serie A?In this episode of By Far The Greatest Team, hosts Graham Dunn and Jamie Rooney and joined by Phil Craig to relive the golden era of Sampdoria between 1988 and 1992—a time when the Genovese club shook up Italian football. From the legendary strike partnership of Gianluca Vialli and Roberto Mancini to Vujadin Boškov's masterful leadership, this episode explores how a colourful, stylish team rose to dominate Serie A and reach the summit of European football. The conversation captures the tactical brilliance, offbeat charisma, and enduring legacy of a side that defied the odds and challenged Italy's traditional giants.Takeaways:• Sampdoria's 1990–91 title win was built on defensive discipline and attacking flair.• Vialli and Mancini formed one of Serie A's most iconic partnerships.• Boškov's management style blended humour, discipline, and tactical intelligence.• The club's identity—colourful kits, loyal fans, and bold play—set them apart in Italian football.• The near-miss in the 1992 European Cup Final against Barcelona remains a poignant moment.• Sampdoria's rise and fall reflect the volatility of football success and the impact of strong leadership.• Their legacy lives on in Football Italia nostalgia and 90s football culture.

This is an excerpt from one of David online course found at www.davidburnell.comTHE COLOR CODE OF MENTAL AWARENESS IS THE KEY TO LIVING IN SAFETY OR TO BE READY FOR A THREAT!CONDITION WHITE - unawareWhite is the lowest level on the escalator. In Condition White one is unaware, not alert, oblivious. This state can be characterized as "daydreaming" or "preoccupied". People in White tend to walk around with their heads down, as if watching their own feet. They do not notice the impending danger until it literally has them by the throat.CONDITION YELLOW - aware, alert and relaxedThis is a relaxed state of general alertness, with no specific focal point. You are not looking for anything or anyone in particular; you simply have your head up and your eyes open. You are alert and aware of your surroundings. You are difficult to surprise, therefore, you are difficult to harm. You do not expect to be attacked today. You simply recognize the possibility.CONDITION ORANGE - potential threat - create a planThis is a heightened state of alertness, with a specific focal point. The entire difference between Yellow and Orange is this specific target for your attention. Your focal point is the person who is doing whatever drew your attention to them. It might be the fact that they are wearing a field jacket in August. It might be that they are standing by a column in the parking garage, instead of going into the building, or getting in a car and leaving. It might be that you have been in five stores at the mall, and saw this same person in every one of them. Their actions have caused you to take note, so you must assess them as a potential threat, just as the fighter pilot assessed the blip earlier.CONDITION RED - Threat verified - implement planIn Red, you are ready to fight! You may not actually be fighting, but you are MENTALLY PREPARED to fight. In many, or perhaps even most, circumstances where you have gone fully to Red, you will not actually physically do anything at all. The entire process of escalating from Yellow, to Orange, to Red, then de-escalating right back down the scale as the situation is resolved, occurs without any actual physical activity on your part. The key is that you were mentally prepared for a conflict, and thus could physically act if the situation demanded.CONDITION BLACK - in the fight and fight to get awayThe fight is on. Your outcome will depend upon your preparation. Muscle & mental memory from training is recalled. You will fight how you trained.

He currently holds Expert Level rank in Krav Maga. In 2015, Master Todd established Battle Rock Krav Maga with the belief that everyone should have the ability to confidently defend themselves. He uses a unique personal development system where students become coaches and coaches become instructors, all while learning techniques and leading others. Master Todd has led 3 teams to the Dominican Republic to train Military Special Forces, and while there, received an invitation to train the President's personal security staff. He trains the Security Forces Squadron for the 134th Air Refueling Wing located at McGhee Tyson Air Base. He always shares his Christian faith when the opportunity arises and has seen 26 young soldiers make a personal commitment to Christ.

In April 2019, Battle Rock Krav Maga was invited by the Krav Maga Association to travel to Israel where they trained with the Israeli Defense Forces. For Master Todd and 3 of his instructors this experience and immersion into the Israeli culture brought to light on a deeper level why Krav Maga was created, thus expanding his vision for Battle Rock Krav Maga. Master Todd and his wife, Janice have been married for 14 years and are blessed with two beautiful children, Tucker and Julie. He is a man of Christ-like character, integrity, and devout leadership.
