X-RATED ORIENT VIDEO ENDED MY T.V. AMBITION
The Manchester City fly-on-the-wall documentary All or Nothing is interesting. You’re looking all the time at the way other managers work. Any new insight is good, even when it’s very Pr-polished like this Amazon Prime series. I’ve lost count of the times I’ve been asked to do something similar but it was the Orient film, Club for a Fiver, which has made me reluctant. I think it started out as a bit of a look behind closed doors, but it ended up capturing everything and the half-time teamtalk their manager John Sitton gave when they were behind at Blackpool was one of a kind.
It was over 20 years ago but anyone who saw it will describe to you how John didn’t hold back. his team finished bottom of the old Division Two.
