" The Rise of the Premier League (Fever Pitch) "

For those who haven't seen this yet on BBC, I highly recommend it :thumbright:

Very well put together programme. Includes interviews with David Dein, Martin Edwards, Gary Neville, Alan Shearer, David Beckham, Les Ferdinand, Eric Cantona and more.


It's all about the Premier League in the 90s with a main theme for each episode, although other things are included in each episode.

The main themes are:

Episode 1 - the creation of the Premier League and Sky's involvement

Episode 2 - Eric Cantona's kung-fu kick on a Crystal Palace fan

Episode 3 - Class of 92 success and problems for Keith Gillespie

Episode 4 - Arsene Wenger's arrival



The first episode, especially, is very good.


Also interesting listening to Eric Cantona talk about his kung-fu kick and how he doesn't regret it.


I don't think episode four has aired yet, can't see it anywhere, but apparently will be the last one of this series.

Hope they do another series.

I had no intention of watching this birth of a money grabbing institute but I caught an episode and it is very good.

Cant help but think if Keith Gillespie stayed at Man U he may have got the support he need much earlier.
