Bostock's Cup (1999)
Staggering

It really is quite staggering that this gem has not been repeated or made available on video or DVD. You really do wonder about some of the people now in charge of television. Night after night we suffer hours of TV that is an insult to the intelligence yet this minor classic is ignored. Has someone lost the master tape?
I am one of the lucky ones who recorded it when it was shown on ITV. As secretary of UniBond League side Burscough Bostock's Cup causes a riot on our away coach trips every season as a new group of players get to see it for the first time. Some of the performances are priceless and the way it lampoons all the various stereotypes in football would make it even more popular today.
