Remember it well. It was because Gazza went to play in Italy and he was probably the biggest media name at that time so they had to follow him.

The bonus was that we got to see the great AC Milan team of that time on a weekly basis. That's why as a defender, Baresi and Maldini were very influential to me as a teenager and to my football career.
