    Been watching a few recently, 1 about Bury FC, 1 about Fort William who, after the mackems, were labelled the worst team in Britain. Another about Derry FC. Anyone got any others to recommend?

    Bury and Fort William on what channel/network?

    Netflix have a really comic one called Til I Die again and again.

    BBC, Bury is on the iPlayer so is the Derry City 1 which is good. Fort William 1 was also on BBC but was a while ago so not sure it's still on there. They're all 1 part, unlike the mackems 1 which had too much hilarity to cram into 1 episode

    The Jack Charlton one is worth a watch.

    Not football, but the documentary about that guy that put out an article asking for someone to let him eat them is an interesting one.

    Not giving too much away, but he got plenty of applicants apparently! He decided on his prefered choice and had him travel to his home where he murdered him and ate him.

    He did take the time to explain to him what he was going to do which was a nice touch I feel.

    You might have seen this one. It has a small nod to NUFC.
    Culture from the early 70s in Newcastle, skins and hairies.
    I reckon @Hung,Drawn and Quartered @jimileysbaldhead were part of the skinhead gang from Scotswood.

    Not much point if you are going to be eaten as soon as you get there anyway.

    Anyway back on the subject of football stories if you have the patience to read a book then this is a superb account of a season with an Italian 2nd Division Team.

    He obviously wasn't thinking about them though if he signed up to be eaten.

    The Divine Ponytail.

    No, not a documentary about how Dazza became a cult leader of the Magpie Group in Romford but rather a drama documentary about Roberto Baggio.

    Not brilliant but worth watching.
