History of Football - Vol 5 - Superstars & The Media DVD

The History of Football is a class act. The series boasts top-drawer production values, including narration by Terence Stamp, access to everybody who has really mattered in the game, ever, plus shed-loads of famous, rare, and never-seen-before footage, with each volume offering a blend of narrative, action and illuminating interviews. This is a polished product: part-celebration, part-commemoration, but always with a sharp investigative sense, digging around the misty-eyed, good ol’ days tradition, to explore in the company of those interviewed the reality behind some... of football’s myths and legends. On the DVD: The History of Football on disc comes with a heaving platter of between 33 and 54 minutes’ worth of extra material on each volume, including extended interviews and match footage, plus valuable first-ever-recorded-on-film material. The picture itself is presented in 16:9 anamorphic aspect ratio, there’s a well-executed menu system, plus an "easter egg" of additional hidden material in every volume.--Alex Hankin. [show more]
