Show

[edit]

The show covered action in the top leagues in England, France, Spain, Germany, Italy, Norway, Sweden, Portugal, Scotland, South America, Turkey and Africa. It also had the best action from the UEFA Champions League and the UEFA Cup. It also featured a gaffe of the week, such as miss, miskick or a goalkeeping error and a goal of the week which was usually introduced by Nick Halling as 'from the maligned to the sublime' or something along those lines. As Premier League and La Liga broadcasting rights are not owned by Channel 4, still images from the games that fade in and out with each other are used instead, with voice-over commentary and a bongo-drum based soundtrack. But the program unfortunately ceased a few years ago.

Commentators and Reporters

[edit]

The programme was regularly narrated by Nick Halling, but Andy Ford, Simon Golding and John Roder had deputised. The commentators were Ross Dyer and Garry Barfoot, but Andy Ford had also commentated before. Since 2010 the show has been produced by Elliott Sweeney. The show is no longer broadcast on Channel 4 but is still shown around the globe.
