Rotor Volgograd

Russian First League, Russia

Rotor knocked Manchester United out of the 1995 UEFA Cup despite Peter Schmeichel scoring a late equaliser at Old Trafford. They twice finished runners-up in Russia before collapsing. Get Volgograd back into the title race and, if European football ever returns, try another big upset.
