Marseille’s midfielder has been taking lessons from the former England boss, it seems.
- came across Dave Farrar’s account of the 92 tale in The Blizzard #1 few hours after above piece, recommending that magazine highly (http://www.theblizzard.co.uk/product/issue-one-digital-download/)
Every fan and witness to the 84 and 86 campaigns are left wondering and regretting what might have been. Despite the so-called “folksy, light-hearted Danish attitude” they did beat England at Wembley, Eire at Landsdown, Italy, USSR, Germany but alas never Spain. Plenty of talent, national and UEFA cup champions in the squad and the 1977 EU footballer of the year Allan Simonsen. Hard to imagine Denmark will ever produce a better forward duo than Elkjær and Laudrup.
1992 was a freak summer in a competition with only 8 teams and before no-playback-to-keeper rule was added. Brian Laudrup was in the squad btw (Michael wasn’t, apparently he watched the final on TV at Jan Mølby’s wedding…).
