38 years ago today, ITV ended their Euro ‘88 coverage with this underrated montage of the tournament, set to the sound of George Michael and Aretha Franklin. Wonderful, wonderful stuff.

Being an impressionable youngster I bloody loved football of that era, so simple and so many likeable players to pretend you were in the school playground

I think it was the perfect song with Holland finally getting a major title.

That was a good tournament,so many world class players in that clip, and what a Dutch side that was too.

Has there ever been so many brilliant football managers within the confines of an eight-team tournament?

So many absolute legends in the one clip. No wannabes, just deadset real footballers who we're there for the game and not the fame. Miss those days. The young of today just don't know what they're missing.

I don’t remember the tournament. I do know Aretha and Yog never met for the vocals or video. Career defining for Franklin the pleasure working with the pantyhose dropping generational talent Georgios. Gentleman always! 🤣
