thats-football.jpg

Channel 4 documentary on Swindon Town's 1992/93 promotion season, first broadcast in 1994.

Swindon progressed well during the 1991–92 season, Glenn Hoddle's first full season as manager, and just missed out on the Second Division play-offs, having briefly led the table in the autumn. A year later they beat Leicester City 4–3 in the new Football League Division One play-off final to achieve promotion to the FA Premier League — bringing top-division football to the club for the first time.

A positive look at improvements being made in Scottish youth football.

Association football is one of the most popular sports in Scotland and is one of the country's national sports. There is a long tradition of "football" games in Orkney, Lewis and southern Scotland, especially the Scottish Borders, although many of these include carrying the ball and passing by hand, and despite bearing the name "football" bear little resemblance to association football.

a-year-in-the-life-of-michael-owen.jpg

A 46 minute documentary following Michael Owen the year after his devastating injury in the 2006 World Cup finals, through to his triumphant international return for the England national team.

At just 27 years of age, Michael Owen has already achieved more than most sportsmen achieve in a lifetime - winning major trophies with Liverpool, being capped 80 times for England, playing in three World Cup tournaments and winning the coveted European Footballer of the Year title. But his career was cruelly interrupted with a horrific knee injury, when he ruptured his cruciate ligament playing for England at the World Cup, keeping him sidelined for a whole season.

liverpool-texas.jpg

A 47-minute documentary by Yusuf Manjoo about the American takeover of Liverpool FC. George Gillett and Tom Hicks, who acquired the club on 6 February 2007 from previous chairman David Moores. The deal valued the club and its outstanding debts at £218.9 million. The pair paid £5,000 per share, or £174.1m for the total shareholding in the club, and £44.8m to cover the club's debts.

Disagreements between Gillett and Hicks, and their lack of the fans' support, have precipitated rumours that Dubai International Capital (DIC), who were interested in buying the club before Gillett and Hicks took over, would bid for the club.

 
Mike Bassett: England Manager E-mail

Mike Bassett: England Manager is a 2001 satirical comedy film directed by Steve Barron, following the fortunes of the manager of Division One football club Norwich City, Mike Bassett, who having led his side to the 'Mr Clutch Cup', is appointed England manager.

The film takes the form of a fly-on-the-wall fictional documentary (mockumentary) following Bassett (played by Ricky Tomlinson) as he starts his international management career. Martin Bashir, well known as a journalist and presenter in real life, plays the interviewer and provides the voice-over, and the film features cameo appearance s from Pelé and Ronaldo. The film satirises many targets, such as the mysterious figures who run the Football Association, the stereotypical view of an old-fashioned manager, and the tabloid press 's unfailing habit of building the England team up so they can knock them down hard.

In the Hands of the Gods is a 2007 documentary. The film follows five English freestyle footballers as they try to raise money by showcasing their skills, in order to fund a trip to Buenos Aires to meet their idol Diego Maradona.

Their names are Sami Hall, Danny Robinson, Paul Wood, Jeremy Lynch and Mikey Fisher. They have no money for food travel or accommodation, two of them are actually living on the streets prior to starting on their mission. Their journey takes them through North, Central and South America and tests them both physically and mentally. It is a journey that takes them far from their homes on a trip that will change their lives forever. The title is a reference to Maradona's famous Hand of God goal.

CITY! is a 1981 documentary which went behind the scenes at Manchester City Football Club during the turbulent 1980/81 season. Those of us old enough to remember will have mixed feelings when the likes of Malcolm Allison, Asa Hartford, Gary Owen and Peter Barnes all return to our screen.

The 1981 behind-the-scenes Manchester City documentary begins with City in the bottom three with no wins from the first eight games of their 1980/81 season and champions Liverpool visiting Maine Road. Malcolm Allison's job is hanging by a thread...

 
Soccer's Hard Men E-mail

soccers-hard-men.jpg

Soccer's Hard Men is a 1992 football video by Video Vision, presented by then-footballer and current actor Vinnie Jones.

This video, which was pretty controversial when it was released, is a tribute to the hard men of English soccer over the last 30 years. In other words the players who did not become famous because of their technical skills, but because of their hard tackles and sometimes downright dirty style of play. You know, the players who give everything in a tackle, without fear of injuring their opponents or themselves. Some of the players featured are Ron "Chopper" Harris, Tommy Smith, Norman Hunter and Steve McMahon.

Frontline Football - Palestine vs. Iraq

Ben Anderson travels to the Middle East to highlight the unenviable predicament of the Palestinian football squad, as they look to qualify for the 2006 World Cup.

The war-torn country's involvement in the sport faces a bleak future as pitches are bombed on a daily basis, and team members are unable to train together due to travel restrictions - so organisers must even resort to advertising on the Internet to recruit players.
