The Supercup

The Supercup. It was not played, because of the ban on English clubs – Juventus had to meet Everton.

Everton had their wings cut off – that is the view of the club, the players of the team at that time, and the fans – and Juventus had no chance to prove it was the best team in Europe. Arguments… but the Supercup did not interest many people, so no big deal really. Point in case: above is the version of the trophy at the time. Not even a proper cup anymore and how many could recognize it? As for Everton’s laments… they go in this order: blame UEFA, Thatcher, the English Football Federation. Liverpool eventually comes after that and almost in passing. Fans violence is hardly ever mentioned.
