Anyone watch this on BBC Four last night? An absolute treat over 60 minutes with Baker on top form. Reminded myself of a cross between Own Goals and Gaffs/Fantasy Football with Skinner and Baddiel.
Very good. Was impressed with Peter Shilton's fitness routine, I wonder how many players back in the late 60s put that much effort in. Indeed jumping forward to the 80s, I can't imagine Neville Southall training like that (or being interviewed in the shower)
So far the BBC's build up coverage has been really good. The stuff being produced for their website is really insightful and actually looks at the game in detail with a level of analysis that doesn't feel like it's aimed at the lowest common denominator. I really hope this standard is maintained for the tournament itself.
