Portugal Euro 2016 | The Worst Champions Ever
Portugal Euro 2016 | The Worst Champions Ever
Today I do a video on Portugal's Euro 2016 campaign where they won the tournament, however over the years some critics have described them as being the worst team to ever to win a major tournament. I look back at their 2016 success and come up with my own opinion.

    Great work again . Field Mill seems to be virtually unknown outside the area. I was travelling up to Barnsley to support Oxford one December many years ago. The match was postponed and many fans from various clubs headed for Mansfield as their game was still on . There were many accents and scarves of all colours in a pub near the ground . Of course , at 2:30 the was match called off ... and the pub continued to serve !

    Loved the old girl but we needed to move. Sir John had a vision for the club and knew we had to modernise, and while the Madejski isn't exactly loved in wider football circles it was the only viable site for the club. But Elm Park holds fond memories for me on the South Bank (which you refer to as the Tilehurst Terrace). Thanks for the video 😊

    A LOndoner visiting my grandparents in Chester as a kid I wne there on my own, walking about two miles. Fighting relegation I had never witnessed atmosphere like it and became a fan. Best game I watched was when we beat Port Vale in the Debenhams Cup Final. Current ground is sadly no comparison, though a giant stand behind the goal could transfrom it...Duke Of Westminster please consider. The Westminster Stand.

    I was a regular at Blundell Park in the early '70s when Lawrie Mcmenemy was manager before he went on to manage Southampton. We used to go in the old Barret Stand which was an old wooden structure (always thought it to be a fire hazard)). Couple of memories.....of a glorious winter's day in February 1972 walked to the ground along the sea front.....come five to three the sea mist rolled over the main stand....several attempts to get the game vs Exeter City going but eventually had to be abandoned. We left the ground and walked 50 yards inland...still a glorious winter' afternoon.... The final game of that season in May 1972 was the replayed match vs Exeter City which Grimsby Town won 3-0 and Grimsby took the 4th Division title in front of over 22,000 fans. We were in the Pontoon stand that night.
