Of course it was a big deal. I'd add in Beckham joining MLS. That was big story.

More noteworthy than the Glazers' takeover of Man United, >than Abramovich, the measures against financial doping, Germany 1->5 England etc, etc? Don't be ridiculous. Benny post your list. Speaking of lists, do you still do the World Class Player Lists?

Oh, bleep to you and the RSSSF archive! Perugia only barely makes the podium in terms of "team that went the whole season unbeaten without winning the title in the longest league". The honors would go to: 1. Galatasaray 1985/86, unbeaten in 36 matches, finished second to Besiktas on goal difference 2. Crvena Zvezda (Red Star) 2007/08, unbeaten in 33 matches, finished second, 5 points behind Partizan. 3. Benfica 1977/78 and Perugia 1978/79, unbeaten in 30 matches, second respectively to Porto on goal difference, and to Milan by 3 points. D
