O Fenomeno

Jimbo, James Horncastle and special guest Rafa Honigstein examine the three legendary Germans who made Inter record-breakers at the turn of the 90s.

Lothar Matthaus, Jurgen Klinsmann and Andreas Brehme were an integral part of West Germany’s World Cup winning side in 1990. They would all join forces at San Siro, with Matthaus and Brehme contributing to an Inter title win achieved with a record points total, and Klinsmann helping to capture the UEFA Cup too.

We look at a trio that helped define a time when Serie A was the true superpower of European football.

Inter’s three Germans

Jimbo welcomes back James Horncastle and Gab Marcotti to discuss one of the most recognisable names and haircuts in Italian football history – Fabrizio Ravanelli.

The man who said he was born to be a bricklayer was on the scoresheet the last time Juventus won the Champions League.

And Dundee?

• PART 1a: The man made by Football Italia? (02m 00s)
• PART 1b: The Ravanelli story starts in Perugia (06m 00s)
