If you can't stand watching overpaid foreigners diving around then tune in to the classic " Ripping Yarns" on BBC 4 tonight at 9.00.
This has to be just about the funniest, yet saddest, football play ever. It's especially poignant in that it's about a run down club who are hopeless and the owners decide to sell the ground.
But the worst teams have the best fans and Gordon is on a mission to recreate the glory days.
So many things rang true, for me, in this. This will also show another side of michael palin to those who don't remember his Python days and see him just as somebody who travels.
This is 30 mins of sheer joy. If you miss it by watching pretty boys diving around then make sure you tape it or use the new technology to watch it later.
"Eight bloody one!..."
