Still remember seeing my first ever game on tv. It was The Match, I think itv on a Sunday afternoon. Elton Wesby was the presenter, and it was Manchester City vs Villa. God knows what year that was, I imagine somewhere around 89-90.
I also have very fond memories of Football Italia and have been a fanatical follower of Italian football ever since. First ever game they showed was Sampdoria vs either Lazio or AC Milan. Fantastic. Gazette Football Italia on a Saturday morning was a cut above anything else on to, James Richardson is still the man when it comes to football presenting.
It's always said that Italian media treat their readers/customers with respect and intelligence, whilst the English press treat theirs like idiots, and when you look at the quality of sorts journalism in the two countries they are right. That said, even in the fanatical ends of an Italian ground, there is a greater appreciation of the game and tactics. Most (or at least a far bigger proportion) of people at English games are just clueless mongs.
Well said
