Sorry should have put it in the title. It follows Graham Taylor and his England squad throughout their disastrous World Cup 1994 qualification. A fantastic watch.

This would be a good idea for a thread to throw in all the documentaries people find. I enjoy watching them

All of the "Football's Greatest" documentaries are brilliant, but I like this one especially. It's hard to include everything in 26/7 minutes but they do a good job.



If you haven't seen "Zidane - A 21st Century Portrait" then I'd really recommend watching it tonight. It's a brilliant look at one of the greatest players of all time. 17 cameras film him as he plays a match for Madrid. Thankfully he is involved with a lot of the play and events in general. A brilliant watch.

GREAT THREAD.

Best documentary has to be "The Two Escobars" from ESPN's 30 for 30. AMAZING.



Also, absolutely loved "Kill The Referee" a documentary with great access to the ref's of Euro 2008, you really feel for them, they put up with an awful amount of ****.



Cant find the full one because it's a proper film. REALLY worth a watch if you can find it though.

Much like the Graham Taylor documentary, this is another England manager documentary following when Norwich won the Mr. Clutch cup, and Mike Basset is promoted albeit controversially to the England job, I won't ruin it, but its an incredible movie, heart break and happiness mixed in. It shows what a crazy ride it is being England manager at a World Cup.

It's on in just over two hours, so if it's not too early or late wherever you are, you could always just catch it as it airs on aertv.ie.
