And the Spice Girls were better than the Beatles because they sold more records. The 83/84 squad may have had individually superior players but they never had a better team. The 78/79 boys transcended mere trophies by playing football as it should be played. Stylish, cohesive, attacking, joined-up football that was a total thrill to watch. They were also tight as a camel's a*** in the desert and I think only 15 or 16 players were used throughout the campaign. Phil Neal used to say he'd walk into the roughest dockland pub in the world with that team and know for certain that if trouble came, he'd be able to rely on every last one of them.
