The Blues were a real force to be reckoned with: a club record 11 top-flight matches without defeat and one of the best home records in the game would make it a season to remembered for years to come. St Andrews was a fortress. Even the biggest clubs in the country couldn't beat the Blues on their own patch as Chelsea Manchester United Manchester City Arsenal Liverpool and Spurs found out the hard way that Alex McLeish's men were no pushovers. There were great goals from Cameron Jerome late drama courtesy of Kevin Phillips sensational saves from Joe Hart and an unbelievable blend of craft and graft typified by the new boys Johnson Dann and Ferguson with experienced campaigners like Carr Bowyer and Larsson. Featuring highlights from every game and every goal scored in the Premier League FA Cup and Carling Cup this is the complete record of a remarkable season.

On the 30th December 1978 with Britain suffering its worst snowfalls for 15 years Ron Atkinson's West Bromwich Albion travelled to Old Trafford to face the mighty Manchester United . The game that followed is remembered as one of the greatest ever with both sides attacking at will and scoring for fun. 32 years on it is still referred to by both sets of supporters as the 5-3 game. Albion's side contained the future United and England captain Bryan Robson the affectionately titled 'Three Degrees' of Cyrille Regis Brendan Batson and Laurie Cunningham plus goal-scoring legend Tony Brown. Robson Regis Brown Len Cantello and Big Ron look back on the highlights of the game that defined the Albion side of that era. A side agonisingly close to claiming the league title that season had the bad weather not intervened.
Derby day victories don't come any sweeter than this. The fantastic Foxes cut Forest down to size with an awesome display that had the Walkers Stadium rocking. An eagerly anticipated encounter more than lived up to expectations as City overwhelmed their neighbours from Nottingham.

With Nigel Pearson's players pushing for promotion this was the perfect performance to delight the sell-out capacity 31 759 crowd and confirm Leicester as the pride of the East Midlands! Re-live one of the greatest derby day successes in recent years and enjoy the whole game in full over and over again.
This 1968 oddity is probably a film only a total Beatlemaniac could love, but it carries both musical and historical resonance. It also gives intimations of what would happen in the next 30 years as artists gained more and more power over how they were presented. The roots of virtually any rock star's vanity project (including Prince's Under the Cherry Moon) can be traced to this little Liverpudlian home movie. Fresh from the success of their films A Hard Day's Night and Help!, and still under the influence of the intoxicants of the era, the Beatles set out to make their own fancifully psychedelic project. What they got out of it was, essentially, a knock-off album with a few good songs and a lot of filler, which is more than can be said for this alternately self-indulgent and mildly amusing British version of Ken Kesey's magic bus tour. Using some of their favourite actors (including Victor Spinetti, who was in their first two movies), the Beatles make an alternative British travelogue, stopping occasionally to sing songs like "I Am the Walrus" and "The Fool on the Hill." Strictly for completists. --Marshall Fine, Amazon.com
