    Interesting video this. Its about a team that represented Algeria when it was still under French rule in the 1950's and early 60's. Most of the players on the team were professionals in France with the top teams of the day such as Stade de Reims and St Etienne. They gave up (for the time) lucrative contracts to essentially go and become amateurs in their home country without much hope of ever returning to play professionally in Europe. Theres a bit more on them here and here.

    Thanks op that was very interesting. Don't mind the pathetic first reply, It certainly doesn't represent the thinking of the majority on here I'm sure.

    Of course i didn't report your post, unlike others thats not my game on here. I can see why people would think that original post was a bit blunt so to speak but was really light hearted and wasn't intended to offend.

    Ok fair enough. I thought it was a bit rude and unnecessary and that's why I, and others were unhappy.

    I thought it was quite a nice piece and to be honest we could do with more informative pieces other than 'Fulham is being robbed' and 'my club is better than your club' etcetera...
