Just seen this posted on Twitter (by Jo Lake). Great find!

It's a behind the scenes look at the club in 1987, with a distinctly Partridge-esque presenter (Alan Biggs). Don't recall it being aired originally but it's a great watch.

Seen this before - it's great and there's no doubt Coogan has seen this - it's so Alan Patridge. Ha ha.

I've only flicked through bits of it as I'm going out soon but it looks like an in-house production by the club, especially with the ad at the end for City's match videos. I'll watch it with interest later, thanks for posting it.

Just watched it all and was going to say the same thing. Ah ha!

Had this on VHS as a kid and used to watch it repeatedly. The Partridge comparisons are pretty striking I have to say.

Along the same lines, I used to watch this video all the time when I was younger - Lee, Bell, Summerbee documentary from the BBC:



From the same channel there's a compilation of City highlights from MOTD going from 1966 to 1992. It's a cracking video to watch if you've some time to spare:

Hey Damo. I've so missed you. Hope you're OK.

Does the tradition he's taking about refer to gate-receipt skimming?
