Thanks a lot Guido. My wife and I are doing well in Genoa and also my family of origin in Umbria. It is a time when there is a lot of fear, like an Orwell police state. I hope that the problem is soon understood in the UK.
I can't bring myself to watch anything about that overrated wanker of a footballer.
With the upcoming International Tournament I felt it was a good time to post this classic documentary from 1993, Do I Not Like That: The Final Chapter.
Was the first football documentary I ever watched (my older brother had it on video) and still one of the best IMO.
What's everyone's opinion on it, as well as that England team of 92/93 and their failure to qualify for the World Cup?
IMO it was where they finally got found out, the 1990 team was very lucky to get to the World Cup Semis as they had been poor throughout the tournament anyway, Taylor had to inherit a team that had underperforming players all over the pitch, but also you could say he made some bizarre squad picks, Carlton Palmer being the most infamous.

I also think it showed the big difference between Club and international management, Taylor clearly wasn't suited to the latter, he needed to be around the players almost every day, after all his club record especially with Watford speaks for itself.
This is only 6 minutes long, but well worth a watch, it's the story of Alexandre Villaplane, France's captain at the 1930 World Cup.
If you think some footballers of today can be shitbags, none to my knowledge have collaborated with Nazis and willingly performed execution of civilians like Villaplane did.
Every now and then I watch the Bobby Robson documentary. I think it’s the only thing I have actually bought on YouTube. Means I can just stick it on every now and then for some feel good watching / listening. Might do that today actually.
Truly inspiring man. And it tells an interesting story of him at Barca too. A little insight into early years of Pep and Jose.
Lovely to see his relationship with Gazza too before and during Italia 90.
Always brings a little tear to my eye but ultimately it is a reminder of how “good” football can be for people and the warmth of character of people who make great managers.

I enjoyed the Ronaldinho one.
Also, while not video documentaries, The Football Ramble's profiles are very entertaining. The real Ronaldo one was nice. Gazza and Bil Nic have on in thetre. You can listen to them all here.
There was a great one of BBC2 this morning about the 1958 World Cup. Garrincha looked a class above.
Spurs 100 anniversary documentary from 1982
Watched this on iPlayer last night. Very good. Believe it's showing on BBC2 on Sunday as well. (Not a documentary but beeb also have the film The Dammed United on iPlayer which is excellent).
