Football programme on ITV from 1970s/1980s
6 Answers
I'm trying to find out any details about a programme that I remember watching that was on broadcast on a midweek evening (at around 7pm) in the 70s or 80s on ITV.
The best way I can describe it is that it was a cross between a football skills competition and "It's A Knockout"!
I think it may have been introduced by Brian Moore or Dickie Davies and it involved all the "big names" from the "old" First Division.
Does anyone remember it?
