What are the best teams outside the big boys to go watch in Spain/Portugal?
Thinking of taking the old man.

You could go to the Basque Country. Alava, Bilbao and San Sebastian are an hour drive or less from each other. You could take in Deportivo Alaves, Real Sociedad and Athletic Bilbao.

Always have an eye on Sampdoria's results. They used to have a geezer called Mancini playing for them...

Ajax for me, probably has a lot to do with the great Johann Cruyff and to a lesser degree Neeskens.

And Rudi Krol, Johnny Rep and Arie Haan. Loved that Ajax team of the early/mid-70's. Still admire them as a club. Shame they can never keep the players they develop.

Also like St Etienne and St Pauli. The latter's whole pirate thing makes me laugh.

I always look for Ayr United's scores, and I always want Marseille to do well. Girona too, for obvious reasons. Don't have an affinity for any Italian or German clubs.

 

[Thomas Hearns]

Slightly off topic but my favourite foreign team are Miscellaneous. They play in Botswana Div 1. Heard the name years ago on a betting site and thought they're the team for me.

Ajax for the Total Football link going back from Pep who played for Cruyff at Barça who played for Michels at Ajax who played for Jack Reynolds at Ajax who started at City and was a Mancunian.
They named a stand after Reynolds at their old ground and their version of The Tunnel Club is called the Reynolds Suite or something at their new ground.

Torino

Inter Milan as like City they were in the shadow of their neighbours. Even been to see them play against Bari when Platt played for them.

Inter are the biggest supported of the two club in Milan and have won the same amount of league titles and more Copa Itallia’s than Milan.

Milan have won more CLs but that doesn’t seem to make any difference in Italy and both Inter and Juve are bigger clubs than Milan and they’ve both won fewer CLs.

At the time I went Milan were winning everything.
