Best ever Football Documentary..The Saturday Men.

[Baltimore]

Apologies if this has been discussed before....but the Saturday men...a black n white documentary of West Brom in the early 1960s is stunning.

It epitomises football of a golden era.

Staring Bobby Robson, Don Howe, Alec Jackson, Dave Burnside,Graham & Stuart Williams,Bobby Hope,Chuck Dury, Clive Clarke...

My favourite bit is when Clive “Chippy” Clarke is walking home, shades of James Dean.

Do watch....

Any other recommendations?

Have you seen 'The Golden Vision', about Alex Scott and Everton in the mid-late 1960s?

I absolutely loved the documentary by Kev Allen when he followed England around Italy in the World Cup. Really balanced - showed the fact that at the time, we were perpetrators and victims in pretty much equal measure.

Had the pleasure to have seen all of the above three documentaries. All great films.

This is a quirky little half hour documentary about Stoke City fans in the mid seventies. Seems like another football planet now. Free to watch:
