To ease the boredom of life at present, I have been watching some of their documentaries and boy the ones that I have watched have been seriously good.

1. Greavsie - a warts and all documentary about the life of the wonderful Jimmy Greaves, I must admit that he is my all time footballing hero, but this is truly a great watch for people of my age group and for younger people who maybe do not realise exactly how good he actually was.

2. Proud to be Town - A documentary about Harrogate Town from lockdown to their football league play off win. This was a great insight into not only the impact on football because of covid but also on a human level. Also the wonderful Jon Stead who plays for Harrogate was featured heavily in this documentary.

3. The gaffer - A documentary about the national league managers of Bromley, Maidstone, Harrogate, Eastleigh and Hartlepool, another worthwhile watch.

4. Too good to go down - A documentary about the relegation of Manu in 1974, another great insight into what was going on at the club throughout this period, loads of ex players contributed and brilliantly presented by the god like Dr John Cooper Clarke.
 
I'll have a look out for those.
I've see the Greavsie one which was very good.

I've also seen the Too Good To Do Down one and thought it was brilliant. Lots of good memories from that era. Especially when City beat them 1-0 home and away the one year they were in Division 2. John Emmanuel scored the winner here and then Man U fans smashed up Coronation Road on their way back to Temple Meads, and Donnie Gillies scored our winner at Old Trafford in the 90th minute. The ever gracious Tommy Docherty said we were the worst team he'd ever seen after that and I believe it was their only home defeat that season.
 
On Friday night I watched shoulder to shoulder a documentary by the Irish rugby legend Brian O'Driscoll, it is about the fact that the team represents all of Ireland with the best players north and south and the problems that it throws up.

It was fascinating.
