Hi Alfie, please make a documentary about the HUGE decline of Bulgarian football, from players like Asparuhov, Stoichkov and Berbatov and 4th place in the world cup to conceding 5 goals to Georgia at home and drawing with Gibraltar and the whole corruption in our football and the fall of Borislav Miihalov as football president and Berbatov trying to overthrow him. Yes, everything is together, unfortunately.

A good one for this would be Burnley and Iceland. It's not necessarily an association, but since Gudmundsson has played at Burnley, there's been loads of Icelandic fans coming to match days, and some telling us that Burnley are now the most supported team there, even that the Prime Minister is a Burnley fan

[@duykhanghehe]

understandable in my view. as someone who comes from a country whose football isn’t very strong, Vietnam. anytime a vietnamese player move abroad, particularly Europe, the public has the tendency to flock to support the club that player moved to.

Fun fact #15:The first time the champions of two European leagues met was in what was nicknamed the 1895 World Championship, when English champions Sunderland beat Scottish champions Hearts 5-3.The first pan-European tournament was the Challenge Cup, a competition between clubs in the Austro-Hungarian Empire.Three years later, in 1900, the champions of Belgium, Netherlands and Switzerland, which were the only existing leagues in continental Europe at the time, participated in the Coupe Van der Straeten Ponthoz, thus being dubbed as the "club championship of the continent" by the local newspapers.

The Hearts/Romanov thing here is not quite right. It was the previous owner who wanted to sell Tynecastle and move to Murrayfield. The deal for this had already been done, and it looked like it could be the end of the club. Romanov came in and cancelled that plan and allowed the club to stay at Tynecastle. This is why he had the support onside. While what came next was indeed mad, there's a reasonable case to be made that Hearts are much better off now than we would have been had we moved to Murrayfield, as Chris Robinson would have had us do.

[@lsmith6036]

Yes, great video by this great hull fan, love his vids, But yes I remember George foulkes was delighted romanov stopped hearts moving. I think though it is right hearts use Murray field when appropriate. Plus I think if not for romanov they would have had less money than the dons, so may have not won those 2 cups, I think he was ok, actually the debt was from before him. And all Scottish clubs had huge debts when he arrived except for Celtic. And Inverness.

Danubio FC, who are 4 time Uruguay champions and have kick-started the careers of players such as Edinson Cavani and Diego Forlan, is affiliated to Bulgaria. They are named after the Danube river, which runs through most of our North border, and they even have a kit with the colours of the Bulgarian flag, which they wear on special occasions. The reason for all that is because in 1932 the club was founded by two Bulgarian immigrants, brothers who moved to Uruguay with their family. PS. Their stadium is named after Maria Mincheva, the mother of the two men that founded the club.

[@Fisher1874]

As a hearts fan I’m a mixed with being on this list. Firstly the criticism, it wasn’t Romanov who wanted to sell tynecastle, it was the previous owner Chris Robinson. Romanov called off the sale after buying hearts and wanted (but never followed through with them) to increase tynecastle’s capacity and add other facilities including a hotel as part of the renovations. As for the wishing it never happened I couldn’t disagree more. Best way to describe it is like having a very bad relationship with someone but giving you a child who makes your life all the better for it. Yes we went through hell but from that the club is now the largest fan owned club in Britain and we thrashed our biggest rivals 5-1 in the Scottish cup final in 2012 and not only did we not sell tynecastle but it has been redeveloped with a larger capacity. None of those things would have happened if Romanov bought the club. I am glad he’s gone but I wouldn’t change what happened as the end result is better than ever could of imagined. More positively it was a very interesting video overall and would love to see more like this on the channel. I honestly believe a kinda “what the hell is going on with …” video about hearts over the past 20 years would be a very interesting watch considering everything that has gone on. Kind of similar to Hull City IMO. Anyway keep up the good work 👍
