So January 1996 was a busy old month for football wasn't it?

It's January 1996. Garth Brooks is still king, we win Eurovision with our eyes closed and Irish football has been plunged into a whole new era.

Yes, Big Jack Charlton has just called it a day after leading the Boys in Green to unprecedented heights.

And cross-channel, Newcastle United are odds on to win the FA Carling Premiership, while Liverpool have an exciting young team that is bound to bring the league back to Anfield sooner rather than later.

Manchester United's fledglings led Eric Cantona are still feeling their way back to form - and where are Arsenal and Gerry Francis' Tottenham? 

Good question!

After eating mounds of turkey to the point of hallucination, Team 33 (that name would mean absolutely nothing until 2009) wake up in January 1996 and analyse the results from that festive period.
