Nostalgic Serie A five-a-side teams: picking a lineup for … Sampdoria

The members of my Sampdoria five-side-team played together during the club’s most successful period, from 1984-1994.
It would have been easy to pick an ultra-attacking side with four forwards. But to maintain some kind of balance there was no room for Blucerchiati icons Fabio Quagliarella and Francesco Flachi, while none of Doria’s star foreigners made the cut either.
