Just watched the first part of Fever Pitch on BBC2: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p09mqv7k/episodes/guide The story of how football's Premier League was formed, told by its stars. What began in 1992 as a controversial breakaway has become the most watched sporting competition in the world. I'm not a football fan (my wife is, she went to Old Trafford with her Dad as a girl) but I found it very interesting. How Murdoch's gamble in creating Sky TV paid off, and created football as a business rather than a sport. I've seen more of Cantona in films than on the pitch. Ken Loach's Looking for Eric is good.
