Loved watching Gazzetta Football Italia during the 90's. Got me into supporting Sampdoria, who had some great shirts then by Asics.

[@John49910110]

Wayneyg most beautiful kit.the sampdoria's one

[@judeskii]

[@chriscarthew7359]

[@James-ws5br]

Don't forget the great Parma team from the late 90s (cannavaro, buffon, veron, thuram, crespo). One of the seven sisters and had an awesome kit 👍

[@robschmitt9830]

Yes Doug good to see you back !

[@ClassicFootballShirtsTV]

Thanks Rob. Hopefully more interviews and match worn shirts to come!

[@leannecampbell4551]

I don’t think I’ve ever heard or read a bad word said about James, one of the most humble, handsome, charismatic and likeable Men to have ever reached our screens. A different level compared to the rest of the jokers in Sport.

[@blagojemojsoski]

Thanks lads absolutely loveing these. Keep working Im with you till I die.

[@jed_91]

James richderson is awesome on word strongest man now

[@jasonamico4680]

Man he is so cool and this is so cool; I want to revive his show and concept so badly and I'm an Argentinian-Italian-American sports journalist covering soccer now. Definitely draw a lot of positive inspo from him and Gazzetta Football Italia

[@w00df0rd]

Johnny Vaughan and James Richardson were gods of nineties morning television.

[@paulinglis8344]

This man knows!!!

[@oliverbowser]

Honestly best football show of all time, 90s and 00s Italian football was just incredible!

[@blagojemojsoski]

Shirts ok,being AC Milan fan simply born in december my birthday is just 3 days earlier,and love colors they got and plenty other reasons...all ACM kits from Kappa,Adidas first stint,then Lotto,which I got one from 94-96 and than Adidas again!!! Others Samp beautiful Asics home,Parma Umbro both home and away,Lazio Umbro and than Puma,Roma Asics and Kappa ufffff... All cuties and beauties. But I'll pick two:Parma Umbro home 94-96,and Lazio home Umbro home same season.

[@Harisankar-ce2vd]

Please do one about Liverpool's classic umbro kits of 70s and 80s

[@storyiseverything2219]

I really miss Football Italia but I understand why it came to an end. Serie A was no longer attracting the number of star players it did in the 90s and many football matches were played in stadiums which were largely empty. I'd love to see the show make a comeback in some capacity.

[@ronniep9272]

It was attracting them up to 2006 but the match fixing scandal was the final nail in the coffin. Another factor was that Italy themselves had many top players which they sadly can't say today.

[@indigo8021]

Football Italia was peak football, not the money-obsessed, media-trained shite is nowadays.

[@MrFlava1982]

Forza viola and forza batigol. 💜

[@darrenkeaton3340]

Can somebody please tell me the classic kit James Richardson mentions he has in his collection? I didn't get the name, He mentions Newton Heath just before
