Wish You Were Here…? | Brits Abroad in the 90's

This week on That 90’s Premier League Podcast, we’re going full ITV throwback with “Wish You Were Here…”—but instead of sun, sea and sand, its passports, pressure, and a handful of brave Brits taking on Europe.

Back in the 90s, it was rare for British players to leave the comfort of home. But players like Paul Gascoigne, David Platt and many more who rolled the dice and tested themselves abroad.

We dive into why they made the move, how they adapted to life in places like Italy and Portugal, and whether they were truly appreciated—or just couldn’t wait to come home.

Were they pioneers who paved the way for the modern game… or players who simply didn’t fit the system back in England?

Plus, we’ve got your usual features, including Hold the 90's Backpage and a Question of Shorts returns.
