Sleeping Giants - Deportivo de La Coruña

We have another exciting episode taking a look back at the glory days of Spanish football and in this episode, we start our first series of podcasts focussed on the 'Sleeping Giants' of Spanish Football. For this first installment, Nick and Paul decide to go in with a bang and look at possibly the biggest sleeping giant in Spain in the form of Deportivo de La Coruña. We discuss the rise of excellent in football in Galicia during the 90's spearheaded by the 'Super Depor' side, how Bebeto's Wife was instrumental on him coming to Spain, the one season wonder of Rivaldo, their Champions League exploits and a trophy laden Golden Era with 2 Copa del Rey wins and that incredible La Liga Championship winning season! As much as we discuss the rise, we also have to look at the fall, one that saw the former Champions League semi-finalists drop down into 'El Pozo' and almost down into the 4th tier in what would have been unprecedented for a club of this size.
