Episode Notes

Born from two Genoese clubs - Sampierdarenese and Andrea Doria - Sampdoria was formed in 1946. The name, crest, uniform, and club colors depict the combination of two clubs. We dive into the history of the club, the heroes and villains, highs and lows. However, the cameos are certainly a highlight, including the son of Muammar Gaddafi who had a cup of coffee in European football. The club reached the highs of European football in the late 80s and early 90, culminating in a 1992 Champions League final appearance against Barcelona at Wembley Stadium.
