For British football, the 1980s saw the rise and fall of hooliganism whereas the 1990s is associated with an influx of talent from the continent.

The 2000s, however, will long be remembered for the meteoric rise of the ‘WAG’ aka wives and girlfriends – the ultra-hot other halves of the millionaire footballers.
