program on ITV4 tonight called One Night in Turin, all about England in the 1990 World Cup.

has anyone seen it, if so is it worth watching. some of my first footballing memories are of that tournament.
Documentary following England's progress in the 1990 World Cup, which saw them make it to the semi-finals before being defeated by West Germany. The film examines manager Bobby Robson's struggles with media scrutiny, the impact of hooliganism on the tournament and the rise to fame of Paul Gascoigne. Narrated by Gary Oldman

I also seem to remember a programme with Martin Clunes, with something about Garry Lineker, does anyine remember that?

Cos there's a film by the same name, and copyright issues presumably say they can't have the same name, unless the same thing.

It's decent. Good soundtrack and well worth a watch seeing as there's no football on.

i was there in Turin the night before and then went to the semi final the next day,sat in the German end behind the goal where Lineker scored the equaliser,when lineker scores you can see the police jump up and go towards the fans behind the net with their dogs,that was towards me and 30 or so other England fans when we jumped on the perimeter fence to celebrate the goal.Stayed in a massive athletics/sports club in Turin the night before the game that the authorities had made available for England fans,loads of Italians came down to have a go at the English fans,remember it being bedlam.After the match Italians on scooters were milling about trying pick off English fans,i remember seeing one with a chain being dragged off his scooter and leathered.Got back to the main station in Turin and it was going off crazy with the Germans by this point,the police managed to get a few hundred off us onto a train straight into Paris (gare de Lyon) where we all went on a sight seeing trip around Paris,great trip,fond memories!

Have you read Pete Davis book All Played Out/One Night In Turin?
He was at the train station that night and he describes it saying it was carnage

I would think that if you're English and into football then it's definitely worth a watch.
