The Impossible Job following Graham Taylor’s failed attempt at 1994 World Cup qualification. No acting, no playing up to the cameras, unprecedented access and brutally honest. So many Classic moments.

Also this. Watched it again recently. It shows a superb human being, slowly tortured by the press and the decision making of others. He wasn’t the right fit for the national team, and this in its own way proves that. But it does show what a genuinely nice man he was.

I thought ‘Diego Maradona’ directed by Asif Kapadia was amazing.

Andrew Jennings, the British investigative journalist who exposed major corruption in FIFA and the International Olympic Committee (IOC), passed away after a brief, sudden illness. He was 78. Siddharth Saxena, senior journalist with the Times of India, collaborated with Jennings on a couple of stories highlighting corruption in football in the mid 2000s. He sits with Newsclick's Siddhanth Aney and Leslie Xavier to talk about the impact of Jennings' work in rooting out corrupt nexuses that run global sport. While his work and person was an inspiration for fellow journalists to emulate, his real legacy is the network of free and independent journalists he helped nourish, and who still strive to expose the ills marring big sport.

Hey Nick. Andrew was my dad so I may be a little biased.

Lots of good ones listed, but something a bit more niche is 'TT Closer to The Edge' from 2011, about the Isle of Man TT races. Worth watching, if only for the piece to camera by Bridget Dobbs, widow of Paul Dobbs and mother of their two children (Paul died during the 2010 races).

Some great ones already been listed (Hoop Dreams, Senna, Diego Maradona, Icarus) but I think my favourite is Slaying the Badger. It is a great story but the way it is told with interviews with all the main players (LeMond, Hinault, the sporting director) all with differing recollections of the deal done on the 1985 tour is fantastic.

I’d also recommend Run Forever: The Film of Nicky Spinks and the Double Bob Graham Round. https://youtu.be/2ABR30IHlq4?si=tfmSmRC2H8-up36N The human endeavour recorded in this film is remarkable, a Bob Graham Round is a fell run taking in 42 Lakeland Fells, 66 miles with 26,900 ft of ascent - Nicky attempted to do this twice in 48 hours. I think this film also identifies the camaraderie of those in the sport, especially those crewing Nicky and the time and effort people give to support what is a fantastic individual achievement. I think more people should know about her.

The Copa 90 Derby Days docs by Eli Mengem. Watched the Saints-Pompey one again the other day. The guy really knows how to tell fan stories.

Senna was excellent, had a lot of footage from the period, lots of interviews from the people involved and told the story good and bad. I thought the Schumacher documentary was a real puff piece - seems like the family said say only good things and we will be invovled. There was no dive into Schumachers bad traits - that is the real story and why he was loved and loathed - same as Senna.

I believe in miracles is fantastic even though I'm not a forest fan.

The last dance about Michael Jordan is fascinating.

Loved the Diego film based on John luddens book,some great footage.

Also some good ones on BBC such as the Aberdeen CWC anniversary and Scotland 78 world cup, the FIFA films on world cups are very nostalgic especially the 82 one narrated by Sean Connery, Shocrates played for Brashil in that one.😄😄

I enjoy the All or Nothing series and I'm enjoying the new Man City series on their treble winning season. I enjoy seeing the tactical decisions/aspects the most.

As a Sheffield United fan, the Warnock documentary is amazing 😂

From a storytelling aspect, I loved The Last Dance.

Welcome to Wrexham, obviously the focus is on the owners, just not something I enjoyed.
