As likely evidenced by the fact youâve just clicked on this article and audibly muttered, âOh wow, yeah, Greeceâ, the memory of triumph at Euro 2004 is likely lodged in a very weird part of your brain. It absolutely did happen, of that youâre sure, but in the era before social media where every sporting happenstance wasnât being endlessly shared, clipped, memed and remixed, you canât recall it with any clarity.
All of the early noughties triumphs that involved major nations are clearly visible to you: Ronaldoâs silly haircut running riot for Brazil against Germany in 2002, Zinedine Zidaneâs forehead attempting a living laryngoscopy on Marco Materazzi in 2006.

Adam published his first article for FourFourTwo in 2015, but didnât publish his second until seven years later in 2022.

In the time between he plied his trade as both a writer and presenter on YouTube, earning the dubious distinction of being âThe James Milner of WhatCultureâ. Be that because he was capable of playing any role, or just because it felt like heâd been around forever, depends on who you ask. And yes, that is him from the Football Manager documentary and, no, he doesnât want to talk about it.
