Ujpest 1885

KiwiValley

Just been reading the early chapters of 'inverting the pyramid' by Jonathan Wilson . Mentions Ujpest as being the first club to be formed in Bucharest in 1885 and one of the earliest in Eastern Europe. So it's a minnow but with some significant heritage. I wonder how many years heritage in total RD has in his network....Looking forward to reading through the book because I've always been shamefully clueless when it comes to tactics. Having said that I think I know how the book ie English football ends - penalties and a scarcity of talent.

The Red Robin

It's a book I've been meaning to read for a while. You can pick it up quite cheap on Amazon at the moment so I'll have to give it a go.

Think you will find it is Budapest not Bucharest.

Meant to add a :-) to my comment as it reminded me of a friend who nearly missed his flight to Budapest after standing in the check in queue for a flight to Bucharest. Also I have read 'Behind the Curtain' by Jonathan Wilson which is also excellent.
