Presented by
Alan Green, a 'History of Football' captures more than 100 years of the
drama, passion, excitement and despair that only the beautiful game can evoke.
Coming into the
20TH Century Preston North End were the finest team in the country. As we move
into the new millennium Iit is another team from the North West of England,
Manchester United, who, along with London Club Arsenal, are dominating the
game.
In the
intervening 100 years the game of association football has produced a galaxy of
stars, thrilling games and controversy from the early years of the White Horse
Final through to the emergence of Michael Owen, whose goal against Argentina in
the 1998 World Cup shook the World, and David Beckham, whose move to Real
Madrid in 2003 was easily the biggest news of the decade so far.
Along the way WE
pay tribute to Herbert Chapman's sensational Huddersfield and Arsenal Sides of
the 30'S; Explore the era of Finney and Matthews; Relive England's World Cup
Victory of 1996; Rejoice in the Skills of the Fantastic Brazil Side of 1970;
Chart the rise of Liverpool AS the dominant force in European Football in the
70'S and 80'S; and examine the sweeping changes in the game in the 90'S culminating
in an English Team, Manchester United, once again being crowned Champions of
Europe in 1999, Completing an Incredible Premier League, FA Cup and European
Cup Treble.
The New
Millennium saw France add the 2000 European Championship Trophy to their 1998
World Cup and Liverpool Match Manchester United's treble with one of their own
in 2001. On the domestic front Arsenal continued to challenge Manchester United
winning the 2002 FA Cup on their way to a domestic double but narrowly missing out
to Manchester United in the 2003 race to the premiership title.
