It was a bonus season for works' teams as Philips and Bayer both got to revel in the reflected glory of PSV and Leverkusen in European competition. There was also the fairytale in Mechelen, some ridiculous comebacks in the UEFA Cup and Graeme Souness up to his old tricks. Martyn and 80s&90sFootball's Michael Hamlen run us through perhaps the last of this collection of chaotic seasons in European competition before Serie A restore some order soon.

After a long wait, Mike, Mac and Gary return to do battle as Martyn is the ultimate judge of their sporting knowledge and strength of argument in choosing the strongest line up from the sporting year of 1986. Sportsman, Sportswoman, Team, Single Achievement, Surprise and Minute of Action are the categories. Will Maradonna be picked first? Will Gary educate us with some obscure story? And will someone please think of Fatima Whitbread? Let us know who you think should have won!

If the 1980's was a high peak for FA Cup Finals then 1988's version arguably made the most impact. Communications Director for AFC Wimbledon now and loyal fan when the biggest waves were emanating from SW19, Marc Jones joins us to retrace the steps of a famous cup run, to argue that the 'fairytale' tag is a little unfair, how the club fostered that dressing room spirit and overcame the loss of their leader in the summer of 1987 and go on and make history.

The book club is back at the same time, by sheer coincidence, as European football. Martyn's guest this time is Dan Williamson, whose previous works have focused on South American football but this time is a lot closer to home. It is 35 years since Manchester United won the European Cup Winner's Cup in Rotterdam and the two discuss the run, its significance, the importance of the beaten finalist in mythology and why it was such a false dawn for English football in Europe in the 1990s.

Not for the first time, Milan was the city powering change in the game of football. Did season 1987/88 see the birth of the finest club side of all time? Martyn and Dominic Hougham discuss how the shoe salesman assembled and moulded a legendary team, how the Scudetto was won - and lost - and how the impact of this season on the modern game is still being felt now.

On the eve of the 1987/88 Scottish season, few pundits gave Celtic any hope of having a successful year for their 100th birthday. Four of their best players had disappeared for bigger leagues and they had called upon an old hero to take the reins after getting two clubs relegated the year before. But Billy McNeill would draw upon the emotional resonance of the season, along with some clever signings, to bring their rivals down a peg or two and claim a sensational double Lawrence Donegan and Martyn relive a fascinating season in Scottish football with some highs on the pitch and some disgraceful lows on the terracing.

During 1987/88, the world's oldest football competition would officially turn 100. Suffering insecurity in a post-Heysel world, the Football League pulled out all of the stops to remind everyone of their prestige. A game between the champions of England and one of Europe's big names to show UEFA how well fans could behave (but not one against the champions of Scotland because they feared that they wouldn't), a convoluted mini-tournament that high profile managers could barely turn up for but before all of that the best of the Football League would take on the best of the entire world at Wembley. Could the main man be persuaded to join them? How many would turn up to boo? Mike talks us through a fascinating and telling bit of football history.

George Graham's Arsenal seemed set to retain their League Cup under a beautiful spring Wembley sky as an interesting final reached the final ten minutes following the familiar script of the underdog going ahead, failing to get a second and getting reeled back in before the end. What happened next defied all narrative norms and created the high point for Luton Town's enjoyable stay at the top flight. Luton fan and former radio presenter Steve Moore is with us to talk about the impact of Ray Harford, the potential of an unlikely Wembley treble and how important it is to make the most of your time in the sun.

Martyn and Mike get together to remember the life and impact of Kevin Keegan. Inspired by Patron Kevin Alexander's collection of questions, the guys ponder how much of his charm was linked to glorious failure, what he was like in person, how he was a second wave trailblazer in his career and how different Nessun Dorma would be without him.

‘The European Cup has become a historical anachronism … it is not modern thinking,' remarked Silvio Berlusconi when Diego Maradona's Napoli were pitted against six-time European champions Real Madrid in the very first round of the competition in 1987/88. ‘It is economic nonsense,' he said, ‘that a club such as Milan might be eliminated in the first round.' He wanted the security of more games and turned to a Saatchi & Saatchi executive to design a European Super League to put pressure on UEFA. The man behind the idea that led to the Champions League and the Premier League was Alex Fynn and he joins Martyn to chat about his reasoning, having his head turned by Berlusconi, the background to such a climate of change in football at the time and why the idea hasn't died.  Martyn also proposes his new format and awaits UEFA's response.  If you want weekly exclusive bonus shows, join our Nessun Dorma community chat, want your episodes without ads and a couple of days earlier or just want to support the podcast, then head over to ⁠⁠⁠patreon.com/NessunDormaPodcast⁠⁠⁠ where you can subscribe for only $3.99 a month (less than 75p a week!)

We round off season 1986/87 with one of the turning points in late 20th century English football as a favourite son returned to Highbury to restore a faded country house. Jon Spurling joins Martyn to discuss the original choices before Graham, how he set about reconnecting Arsenal with its past, some signs of what was in store in the future and that first silverware on the board even when Ian Rush had scored the opening goal...

At the conclusion of the 2024 Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, opera tenor Christopher Macchio performed the famous aria "Nessun Dorma". The song played as red, white, blue, and gold balloons dropped and Donald Trump was joined on stage by his family following his nomination acceptance speech. Was it real? Or was it just “trolling?” Bob shares some thoughts after two years. Now, do you believe in this ministry?

For all the changes implemented in the era, this was a quiet revolution. Quietly adopted as a mechanism to help adjust the number of teams in the First Division, it was quickly obvious that there was something to it and so, a dramatic end of to season was born. Richard Foster, author of The Agony and The Ecstasy: The Comprehensive History of the Football League Play-Offs, joins Martyn to explain why and how they began, those first matches and how it evolved into something very different.

The years between English and Italian dominance of European competition is perhaps best exemplified by 1986/87. Porto's persistence pays off with a European Cup Final goal that should be better remembered, Dundee United make history in the Nou Camp but come up agonisingly short again and a young Ajax side pick up silverware courtesy of the new sensation in European football.  Martyn and Michael Hamlen from 80s&90sFootball take a look at all three competitions and take in stories from Wrexham to Real Madrid in the process.

Most of the seismic decisions that have shaped the football history of the 80s and 90s have been external to the actual business of the game itself. However, 1986/87 saw the most significant managerial change of the era at Old Trafford. Gary Cook from Retro Football Network joins Martyn to re-assess Ron Atkinson's time in the job, the specifics that led to his dismissal in November 1986, the reception for Alex Ferguson and just how difficult it is to turn around a big club.

If winning the World Cup with Argentina in favourable conditions was one thing then guiding Napoli to their first ever league title was a completely different challenge. The south was not supposed to win Scudetti after all. Dominic Hougham and Martyn review a famous season in Italy, discuss whether or not it would be possible without the World Cup win and if this is the greatest 12 months that one footballer has ever enjoyed. Furthermore, on our epic journey through football history, Serie A's time has now very much begun.

The images of Everton's successes in 1984 and 1985 and burned onto the collective memory. So too, perhaps, their agonising failure in missing out on the Double in 1986. But why is their title win in 1986/87 so hidden in the shadows of time? Gary Naylor joins Martyn to throw some light on the triumph despite injuries and the sale of a goal machine and why the season as a whole does not find resonance at all.

Post Heysel, everyone in English football had resigned themselves to losing their best players east and south onto the continent's highest stages. Nobody considered that some may travel north. Martyn and John Mackay gladly recount just how Scottish football was turned upside down, the traditional flow of talent was reversed and how Graeme Souness found instant success.

We are back on our journey through the 80s and 90s as we start our series on 1986/87. The second half of the eighties was arguably the greatest run of FA Cup Finals and this season's may sit above them all. From the fourth round victory at Old Trafford, Coventry City's joint managerial team of John Sillett and George Curtis were adamant that this could be their year. Standing in the Wembley Way would be a Spurs side whose treble dreams had faded but who still had the opportunity to send Glenn Hoddle off in style. Author Richard Chamberlain joins us to discuss the most famous season in Coventry's history as well as some other great FA Cup stories along the way.

The final part of our book showcase this summer features the unheralded tale of the US team's journey to Italia '90, so important as it was in laying the foundations for what was to come. Adam Elder is a writer for the New York Time and the New Yorker amongst many other publications and his story of an unlikely bunch of players resurrecting soccer in a country who wanted to forget pretty much anything associated with the 1970s is a fascinating read.

Stuart Steelyard, the man behind the excellent Stu's Football Flashbacks on social media, joins Martyn to talk about his first book on the chaotic and fun hinterland between Italia '90 and the birth of the Premier League, two years characterised by the sponsorship of the League Cup by Rumbelows. Thrills, spills, sprint challenges and televisions being won by the man of the match, so much was crammed into two seasons.

Rob Fletcher returns to the show to talk about his new book on the famous Champions League Final of 1994 when AC Milan defied all the odds and predictions by eviscerating Johann Cruyff's famous Barcelona Dream Team. Martyn and Rob discuss the managers, the all-important preparation and what this final says about football at the time.

Además, interpretan en directo uno de sus últimos temas, 'Ven vestida de nube'. Javi Alonso nos trae en su sección de cómic Espíritu del escorpión, de Fernando Llor y Pablo Caballo que narra la doble vida de Radovan Karadžić, genocida bosnio que se ocultó como Dragan Dabić, un terapeuta new age en Belgrado. Y con Martín Llade celebramos los 100 años del estreno de la ópera de Turandot.

And then there were four. Mac and Martyn attempt to make sense of another French failure against their arch nemesis but give some justified praise for an excellent West German defensive performance.

Martyn, Mike and Rob settle down to revisit one of the great weekends in World Cup history. France and Brazil produce a classic and a goal that would be lionised if the result had been different, the hosts suffer a fate that many will over the years: defeat to West Germany on penalties, the surprise package carry on and England v Argentina provides enough for an entire series.

L’incipit di Obiettivo Salute risveglio arriva dalle note immortali di “Nessun dorma” dalla Turandot di Puccini, un’aria che racconta di enigmi e notti insonni. Ma le notti senza sonno non appartengono solo all’opera: fanno parte anche della nostra vita quotidiana, quando restiamo svegli per lavoro, studio o per i pensieri che non ci lasciano riposare.Cosa succede davvero al nostro cervello quando dormiamo poco, o non dormiamo affatto? Ne parliamo con il professor Roberto Manfredini, direttore della Clinica Medica Universitaria di Ferrara esperto di sonno e ritmi circadiani.

Gary and John return to wrap up the group stages of the 1986 World Cup. Ian St John has a meltdown watching Scotland somehow managing to miss out against the "scum of world football". West Germany are the latest to be put to the sword by Denmark but end up on the better side of the draw as a result and there is quite the debut for a young Brazilian right back by the name of Josimar.

Mac Millings makes his tournament debut as England's hopes hang by a thread. Bobby Robson is forced into some changes and, although familiar issues are still apparent early on against Poland, goals change games. And careers. There is also Morocco discovering what can be done when you cross the halfway line, progress for the hosts, Paraguay and Belgium fight to avoid the USSR, Italy remain unconvincing and some love for Jorge Valdano.

On the 30th anniversary of Euro '96, the author Richard Chamberlain provides us with a telling reminder that there was more to this tournament that a homecoming from the sporting wilderness and an internal feel-good summer. The inside story on all the participants can be found in his new book which is out later this year. He talks to us about the project as a whole, the resonance in a post-Southgate era and how you can get involved. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/thetrawler/euro-96-the-full-story?ref=discovery&total_hits=346&category_id=48 If you want weekly exclusive bonus shows, join our Nessun Dorma community chat, want your episodes without ads and a couple of days earlier or just want to support the podcast, then head over to ⁠⁠⁠patreon.com/NessunDormaPodcast⁠⁠⁠ where you can subscribe for only $3.99 a month (less than 75p a week!).

Mike and Martyn get set to devour a feast of World Cup action over these two days. We have Maradona and Passarella clashing over drugs and affairs before South Korea took turns in having a kick without any serious sanction, Hungary being smashed by the USSR, an early victory for the hosts amidst political turbulence and an arachnid taking over the Azteca, Northern Ireland and Algeria failing to live up to their previous exploits and missing the opportunity to get that much needed win and Bobby Robson arrives in Monterrey and selects a starting XI against Portugal who have never played together before. What could possibly go wrong?

It is time to start your Mexican waves! Jonathan O'Brien is here to discuss the opening game, how the World Champions were placed, who the European Champions had turned to up front, a handball goal that was actually chalked off and Spain and Brazil remind us why we should be careful what we wish for when trying to the rid the game of technology.

We are nearly there! Martyn is joined again by the author Aidan Williams to round up the rest of the qualifiers - from Argentina to Iraq - and to take a look at the contemporaneous previews on the eve of the tournament. There were big concerns about the impact of the midday sun on the quality of football, most agreed that there was no outstanding favourite and Diego Maradona had far from convinced everyone that he was about to take the world by storm.

The last of the archive re-runs is a good old deep dive into the opening fixtures of the 1996-97 season first released in September 2018. Lee, Mike and Gary consider Beckham's introduction to the wider world, Richie Humphreys' thunderbolt and decline, Super Kevin Campbell and the general pizzazz and razzamattaz that was the Premier League in the post Euro 96 miasma of self assurance.

We go back into the archives for a few weeks before our big Mexico '86 series begins on 21 January. In this excellent show from November 2018, Lee, Rob and Mike chat all about November 17 1993, the last great night of international tournament qualification; an evening that ended careers, made reputations, left a legacy a certain Welsh fullback could do without and caused David Ginola to have his parentage questioned.

The sporting interval between football seasons this time is more of a bridge than a break. With football descending into depression, the British public were given sporting drama at its finest in a clean environment and between two likeable personalities. 18 million people could not switch off as the World Championship Snooker Final reached its climax beyond midnight on Sunday 28 April 1985. Mike is with Martyn to go through the wild momentum swings of one of the greatest comebacks in sport and The Rest Is History's Dominic Sandbrook returns to Nessun Dorma to discuss just how snooker filled the void being left by football, the draw of personalities in individual sports and the importance of television in British life in the mid 1980s.
