Because football didn't exist before 1992 (for many)
I know what you mean, but there are still plenty of pre-Premier League players that get talked about all the time. Jimmy Greaves in particular seems to not get mentioned that much though.
He will soon enough i reckon.
There’s loads.
Dean, Greaves, Gallagher etc. I love looking at the history side of football. Got loads of cigarette cards from 1895 through to war time. Love looking at them. Unfortunately the sky thing has taken a lot of that stuff away which is why some people won’t think pre-92.
I remember being in Turin for the CL game in 2002 I think. Ended up drinking with some Juve fans and they were so excited to see Shearer play, similar in Milan too.
