I think you are right, although i think Ronaldo was injured for a lot of it. Vieri held the world record transfer fee for a very small amount of time i believe, from memory Crespo took that title soon after but i could be wrong.

Football is different now , but the 20 years between 1990 and 2010 were pretty spectacular for me

I agree. English football being a powerhouse benefits my club, i believe we benefit from being in the strongest second division in the world and i believe if we get promoted it will completely revolutionise our club. Ultimately Coventry City is my number 1 love so that's good, i guess. I cannot pretend that i care for the sport outside of CCFC like i used to though. I don't have much interest, it's just a bit shit...

This is me. I'm completely disillusioned with football and its governance.
If it wasn't for a deep-seated support for a club, I'd pay it no attention at all any more.

To rattle off some of the best goalkeepers from that era:
Casillas
Pagliuca
Buffon
Kahn
Who really compares with those now?

Absolutely. If CCFC stopped existing tomorrow the sport would be a complete irrelevance to me. I still like to stay educated on it, I like reading up on players and stuff that are doing well in crappy foreign leagues because I'm a sad act but thats mainly because I like to know what's out there for us!

Despite England getting to the later stages of tournaments more often my interest in them has fallen off too. Basically the excitement's gone from the game in general, aside from CCFC.
