Queens Park Rangers 1975–76: The 10-day dream
Queens Park Rangers 1975–76 produced one of English football’s greatest near-misses. Dave Sexton’s stylish QPR, powered by Gerry Francis, Stan Bowles and Don Givens, out-played giants like Liverpool and Derby County and took the First Division title race to the final day. Blending flair, tactics and London swagger, this is the story of a team that came within one point of immortality — and defined 1970s football romance.

Millwall 1988-89: Who let the Lions out?

For two seasons they mixed muscle, menace and magic, topping the table and terrifying the elite. Millwall’s golden moment may have been fleeting, but its spirit — led by Terry Hurlock and The Den faithful — still roars in football folklore.
