History of Football - The Beautiful Game DVD | 3.79 GB

Football is known as the world game and for good reason, it is watched and played by millions around the world throughout the year and is growing stronger day by day. To try to fit the history of football into a mere 13 hours is a big ask, but this wonderful documentary series makes a very admirable effort to do so. It would be impossible to please everyone, but this documentary series should make most fans happy.

This series is full of footage and interviews covering every aspect of the game, but what it does do is focus quite strongly on the true history. What this means is that it looks at the origins of the game right through to how this popular sport has affected history in general. The impact the game has had on the world's history is quite astounding, from being responsible for starting a war to being used as a political tool for many of the world's most historical figures.

Interviews with some of the biggest names are here, along with some footage that most would have never seen before. The series boasts that it contains every World Cup Final goal up to and including the 1998 final, the first ever filmed international match between Wales and Ireland, the first England versus Scotland match ever filmed in 1907 and the first FA Cup Final ever filmed between Tottenham and Sheffield Wednesday in 1901. All these are included and so much more.

The series of 13 episodes is contained on seven discs in an impressive box set, two episodes on each disc apart from the last which is alone. Each episode runs for approximately 52 minutes and, along with the episode itself, there are several extras relating to the topic of that episode. Each episode is beautifully edited and informative and contains some amazing footage dating back to the 1800s. A brief synopsis of each episode follows to give you a better idea of what is covered. The extras for each episode are also listed in the extras section of this review.
