Football documentaries
After 'Howard's Way' there may be another one worth a quick squint at on sky documentaries.
Not about us unfortunately but for football drama hard to beat ....
It's called simply '89 and includes classic footage and interviews telling the story of one of football's greatest triumphs - Arsenal's history-making win against Liverpool at the pit when Michael Thomas scored in the very last minute to switch the destination of the league title away from Anfield and down instead to Highbury, on goal difference too (0-2).
(Liverpool only needed any result better than a loss by two goals and Anfield was packed for one of those famous nights under floodlights and a big party, 0-1 into the last minute it was their's, then Michael Thomas changed it all, bursting through on a breakaway accepting a pass and finishing brilliantly, their balloon burst and the ground went completely silent - all except for the noisy Arsenal contingent in their section of the Anfield Road end)
There's a book called 'Fever Pitch' by Nick Hornby on this too which is worth a read
