Watched that the other night. Very interesting documentary. Fashanu and Jones (especially Fashanu) totally bought into their own hype and are now total caricatures.
Turns out the rest of the team are all fuming how documentary turned out, including Dave Bassett. Basically accusing Fashanu of making up stuff to sound menancing/hard:

Couldn't stand having to watch them at Goodison all them years ago so don't want to watch any romanticised rubbish about them. They were like the Stoke of their day. The one Saturday you never looked forward to going.
Remember the year after they won the cup and Beasant signed for Newcastle. I used to collect autographs and remember all the Newcastle lads including Gazza spending ages signing autographs and talking to the fans, but not Beasant big bollocks, no he waited inside until the coach came then pushed everyone aside to get on the bus. Idiot.

Documentaries about 'greatest ever teams' (some of whom were one season wonders) and now these 'hilarious' 'pranksters and hard cases'.
When are these 'fantastic' sports channel programme makers going to turn their attention to a documentary about our 1980s team that swept the board?
They'll probably wait until HK snuffs it (God forbid anytime soon).

To be honest, I was thinking that when I was watching the Wimbledon thing.
It was a good little story (climbing the divisions before beating Liverpool in the Cup Final) but a lot of it was just typical sportsman dinner anecdote type stuff, about 'wacky' antics. No real tangible achievements to focus on, other than the 1988 FA Cup.

The Match of the 80's series (presented by Danny Baker) 1985 episode was pretty good for that team, albeit not solely about the toffs
I'll see if I can find a link later
Anyone know if the story about big Nev lamping Vinnie Jones in the tunnel at Goodison is true?

Liverpool's 1980s team - supposedly one of the best club teams in history (boring pass the ball back merchants in reality like) - are given dedicated programmes to them. Everton between 84 and 87 (IE half that decade were every bit as good and better for most of that time); two league titles, RU once; FA Cup winners, RU twice; ECWC winners; LC RU once; Dedicated documentaries from 'the slickest and most in-depth, comprehensive and informative sports channels ever' = **** all.
Shameful, it really is. They were a fantastic team. Better than Liverpool, Forest, Villa, Arsenal - all the other teams that had success during that decade.
