Born Kicking? That wasn't a series itself though, it was a one-off on BBC in 1992 in the Screen One drama series, with Eve Barker playing a girl footballer called Roxanne Reddy (yes, really). Think it was filmed at QPR.

Anyone remember a "play for today" in the 70's where the game ended when the ref scored a diving header?
BBC's Play for Today was a great series but the play you remember wasn't from that series, it was from ITV's Sunday Night Theatre. It was called Another Sunday and Sweet F.A. and was written by Jack Rosenthal.
Long-suffering weekend referee Mr. Armistead (David Swift) refuses to give up on trying to teach the rougher elements of Co-op Albion and Parker Street Depot about fairness, sportsmanship, and restraint. No matter what the provocation, or how much testosterone is flying through the air, Mr Armistead brings his own home-grown philosophy of life to bear on the players, whether they want to hear it or not.

Thanks for that - I thought that it was something like that. I actually searched for "Another Bloody Sunday" - which I also remember from the era - but that was a documentary about Doncaster Rugby League.

We've recently seen the 3-parters on the Rochdale grooming scandal and the false child-abduction case in Yorkshire, plus the fictional Broken is currently being shown, starring our very own Anna Friel, all on BBC1

Another Sunday and Sweet FA was filmed in Manchester in the Swinton/ Pendleton area, the pitch is up high and you can see the towers of Agecroft Power Station and the winders of Agecroft Colliery in the distance. It was also one of Anne Kirkbride's first acting roles, she got the job as Deirdre Barlow in Corrie off the back of this performance. Plenty of other faces that became well known too.

Not football related but the best documentary I ever saw was about an american that got hold of some diamonds in WW2 and finding it hard to carry them in the middle of war in France decided to bury them,decades later he was telling the story in a bar in america when somebody decided to go and try and find them,it was riveting stuff,I've tried to track it down via YouTube and stuff but as far as I can tell has never been repeated

It was called Blood from a Stone. Sam Nyer is a World War II veteran living in Bangor, Maine, who says that in 1945, he came upon and killed German SS officers divvying up confiscated loot.
He and a fellow infantry scout grabbed some "life diamonds," uncut precious stones that likely were taken from Jews at death camps who held on to them as portable wealth.
And they buried them on the French-German border, intending a return that death and injury made impossible.
In 1988, Nyer attended a talk by Yavon Svoray, a former Israeli soldier and something of an adventurer. His undercover work in the neo-Nazi movement inspired the HBO film "The Infiltrator."
Svoray believed Nyer's story and so In 1988, Yvon Svoray and Richard Hammer launched a treasure hunt along the French-German border. The result of this expedition was recounted in a book by Svoray and Hammer, Blood from a Stone: The Quest for the Life Diamonds.
A TV documentary based on this book -- and also on the incredible history of the diamonds themselves -- was aired by the History Channel on June 9, 2003
