Part Two

1994 saw the fate of teams at either end of the Bundesliga table settled in dubious circumstances.

@shillwarp tells the story of Thomas Helmer's Ghost Goal and the ramifications of it.

Part Three

Have you heard the one about two Argentines walking in to a club?

Hilarious. For some.

@rakis14 walks us through the 2006 transfer that initially shocked and later angered. The perception of West Ham as plucky underdogs shattered.

Part Four

Readers of our mag may have noticed @jwjones57 occupies the 'fantasista' role at NPLH (Does what he wants. Uncoachable)

His offering for this series is no exception. Hit the link for his take on a rare, outrageously offside, Ji Dong Won goal.

Part Five

Spanish football and corruption. Probably nothing you haven't heard before.

But how does it work and how can it be stopped?

@j4brennan tells us of the 'little suitcases' and the efforts to keep them firmly closed.

The URL does the talking for us here

Violent conduct. Fighting. An English referee. @TrevorM90

Part Seven

There are rivalries and then there's Serbia vs Albania.

@EddNorval took a break from basking in the glory of his Hibs piece in issue 7 to walk us through its history. It's a fine piece.
