A wave of nostalgia for the 'Barclays' era of the Premier League, and for the iconic players of that era, who have been termed Barclaysmen, swept over social media over the most recent international break.

But was English football's top flight really better in the 2000s and early 2010s, when sponsored by Barclays, or is it just misty-eyed nostalgia?

In this video, HITC Sevens explores that question, whether this is anything new, and why so many football fans yearn for the past.
