So, you came back to the sunlit uplands of FLTM9798 did you? On a side note, I’ve always wondered, if you had a windscreen shield, how the f*** would you see to be able to drive?!? Okay, I’ll park the poor humour for now let’s get this shit show on the road. If you missed last week’s intro, you can catch up here.
Roll up, roll up! This is the greatest show? Quite possibly not. Have you ever sat there and thought to yourself “who were the greatest side to win the Football League Trophy during the 90’s?”. No? Well neither did we, until we needed something to do.
Here at www.cm9798.co.uk we’ve pitted the best Champions League sides against each other, the best Cup Winners Cup sides, so naturally the Football League Trophy was the best fit in that order.
An at best, derided trophy. The football equivalent of winning the meat draw at the social club. But it has been lifted by some sides who have gone on to play Premier League football. And some who have gone on to play in the Conference. And to think, it started life out as a replacement for the Anglo-Scottish Cup in the early 80’s. Should we jump in to our first participants? You’ll soon see the competition was dominated by middle England clubs.

Welcome back to the final part in our latest historic squad recall. So far so good, we’re running United to the wire. Sutton (33) and Shearer (35) are battling it out for the top scorer in the league and with at least 10 games plus cups to go, I’d hope they’ll get a few more. You can catch-up here.
Happy hump day! Here’s Andrew with part 3 of another step back/forward in time
Welcome back to Lancashire! It’s been going pretty well, so well I just can’t understand why this team was taken apart. You can catch up on last week here.
Welcome back to the return of King Kenny and his Lancashticos. If you missed the start of this madness you can catch up here. Another historic squad reunion has started fairly well.
Seeing as I have stolen back the Sunday slot, here’s Andrew in his new home of Wednesday. What better way to spend your hump day? He’s got a brand new idea too…
Hello, and welcome back to another series of bringing a squad back to life for an unwise crack at the Premier League of 1997-98. This time, its Blackburn Rovers. Had Kenny Dalglish not resigned as manager following the title win, and the squad had been kept together, would things have been rosier? The only way to find out. Put them back in CM9798 and see what happens! Let’s take a look at the squad.
Leeds, Leeds, Leeds, Leeds…in the aftermath of our climb to the top of the table (you can catch up here if you missed it) we’re left facing the fact that it might be temporary with Man Utd’s goal difference. All we can do is try to keep winning.
Welcome back to Yorkshire where real heroes keep playing into their 40’s. If you missed last week, you can catch up here. We’ve been chasing down Man Utd, but their unbelievable form continues.
Hello and welcome back to “your new favourite team is Leeds United”! If you missed the start of this ridiculous save, you can catch up here. We made a repeat start to the season of 1991/92 with a 10-game unbeaten run:
