English football was the dominant club force in the 75-85 decade, look at how many English clubs won the European Cup in that decade. The ban after Heysel set English domestic football back miles and the league didn’t fully recover in competitiveness until the early 00s
Their ghost goal (winning goal). Their league was dominant in mid ‘70s - early ‘80s though. Then came Chelsea who started mining for players abroad. Now they can’t produce a competent manager to manage any of the sides that expect trophies. It’s become a joke.
English football was a joke before the foreigner burst mid 90s so most likely them
You know nothing about football.
Of all the terrible takes in this sub, this is one of the worst.
English football was a joke when it won 6 CLs in 10 years in the 70s and 80s?
What was the rest of Europe then? 😂
What.
Celtic and Manchester United won the European cup either side of 66 World Cup.
70s/80s the European Cup had English dominance before Heisel as well.
The 90s/00s foreign player boom destroyed clubs like Benfica and Ajax’s chances in European competition really, which is a shame.

But English clubs they lose against South Americans in the intercontinental cups, so they weren’t that stronger
How did that ban affect the league when most of the players were English back then?
…because there was generally just less money to go around within the league
Only like 3 teams got into Europe from each country back then
