Let us transport you back to a decade where Ipswich, Aston Villa and Nottingham Forest were mixing it with Europe’s big boys.
Following the success of our 1990s footballers quiz, our 2000s tester and this one on 2010 footballers, we have devised a 1980s football quiz that should give you some pause for thought.
20 footballers to get and anything over 16 is great going.
Best of luck.
