Chris “Wood”, Eddie “Howe”. And not knowing wether Freddie Adu will be a place holder or actually not qualify for the Se7en. This is why I watch this channel.

I know he isn’t one of the greatest of all time, but the fact that Erik Choupo-Moting has never had a transfer fee in his career despite making 4 transfers, playing for two of the biggest clubs in the world, and not spending more than 4 years at any club is pretty insane.

Appreciate the Coluna inclusion. My grandfather to this day maintains that he is the best midfielder he’s ever seen, and his tales of him and Eusébio are some of my earliest football memories

Best’s and Garrincha’s stories are heartbreaking. Thanks for bringing that up

Ironically Paul Pogba performed much better for Juventus on a consistent basis when he went there for free from Man Utd in 2012 then when he returned to Man Utd for a then world record fee of 90 or so million pounds in the summer of 2016 so it clearly shows that its not the price tag of a player that is the be all and end all

Post # 4:Alfie you should really consider doing a video on the Bosnian men's national team, from being ranked 13 in the world in 2014 and qualifying for the World Cup in Brazil, to not qualifying for a single tournament since, yet managing to win their uefa nation leagues group, but genuinely hitting our lowest point with a 2-0 defeat to Luxembourg. Aging players, players who represent other national teams that are eligible to play for Bosnia but aren't seeming interested, just the genuine geopolitical mess that Bosnia is with how the Dayton agreement was meant to simply end the Bosnian war yet became the country's de facto constitution. I think it would make for a very interesting video, and could even span additional videos like how Velez Mostar are forced to play away from their original stadium in Mostar as it is on the Croatian side of the river, with their old stadium being taken over by Zrinjski Mostar. A club that was actually banned in Yugoslavia because of their nationalistic origin

Nowadays it's easier for players to avoid being transferred with a lot just waiting for their contracts to expire and then joining new clubs for hefty signing bonuses. It's probably what's gonna happen with Mbappe next summer.

a documentary of Borussia Dortmund and how they were extremely close to bankruptcy in 2002 time and how Bayern had to save them. The extreme difficulties the club has had to manage within to get back to where they are

It‘s crazy that Barcelona got absolutely zero money for the guy whos their all time club legend, best player in the world, dude who was the face of that revolutionary barca squad.

As a benfica fan and a portuguese I'm glad you remember Mario Coluna!

this is my one chance to watch him play, if he comes to play against the Portland Timbers

Hi a lot of people ask you to something so I want to ask how are you

Here is a suggestion make a video about players that got under the radar due a superstar from the same nation but from different era like zico by pele and Ronaldo,sciera by maldini baresi and nesta etc, gunter netzer by mattaus, uwee seeler by muller and many more

Scored a hattrick at 19 despite it being his first professional game? That Garrincha story is goated.

love the content as always, new documentary soon please though 🙏🙏🙏

Great video Alfie. If you feel like conducting exciting research, try looking at SA domestic football; clubs buying their way into the top division, new clubs formed out of thin air, premier league players changing out of the owner’s boot, SA has the makings of a great documentary!

A little sad that Alfie didn't mention George Best actually played three games in Hong Kong in 1982 (albeit just as a guest player), still the BEST footballer (pun intended) ever to play for a team in Hong Kong to this day, but at least he's given me a random picture of Hong Kong International airport at

Alfie, hearing you mention Atletico Junior from my hometown almost brought a tear to my eye. Would love a video about Colombian football league, or even on Junior (lots of murky stuff to dive in)

Great and interesting video as always Alfie! An idea I have for a video is what is going on at Lyon? Specifically the ownership of John Textor. I’m a Crystal Palace fan whom he owns 40% of and his dealings with all clubs (Botafogo and Molenbeek) seems very mysterious and concerning. I think it could make a good watch and be interesting to research!

I remember reading in my Premier League Sticker Book that Sol Campbell was Spurs joint Top Scorer one Season with 5 goals lol
