Welcome back to another thrilling episode of "By Far The Greatest Football Team"! Your host, Graham, joined as always by co-host Jamie, are taking trip down memory lane to the scorching summer of 1976. Get ready for a nostalgic dive into some of the hottest football teams of their time.
In this episode, we're kicking things off with a look back at the French Les Verts, St Etienne. From their humble beginnings in the mid-1950s, we trace their remarkable journey through the 1970s, a period of sheer greatness when they dominated the local scene. But as we'll explore, European glory eluded them despite their domestic dominance. Join us as we relive their rise, their battles, and the incredible demise that made the St Etienne era an indelible part of football history.
But that's not all! Our journey through the summer of '76 wouldn't be complete without a stop in the land of the now-vanished nations. Czechoslovakia takes center stage as we recount their incredible run in the UEFA Euro 1976 tournament. Against all odds, this team that no longer exists managed to overcome the odds and conquer the reigning world champions, West Germany, in an epic showdown that went down in the annals of football lore.
And oh, let's not forget that iconic moment—The Panenka - a climax that became a verb in football's dictionary. The slimline finals of Euro 1976 provided the backdrop for a sensational ending that has been etched into the hearts of fans worldwide. Join us as we relive the tension, the drama, and that unforgettable instant that gave birth to one of our all-time favorite footballing verbs.
