Pitch Invasion: How the Scottish and Irish Changed Football, 10.40pm, BBC One
This looks fascinating. Well, if you’re into football.
The new series takes look at the players and managers from Scotland, Northern Ireland and Ireland who helped shape English football's top flight in a way that still resonates to this day.
It begins with a look at how the flair and artistry of the likes of Denis Law, George Best (above) and Kenny Dalglish inspired the biggest football clubs in England.
The programme also looks at the impact of Matt Busby, whose 25-year reign as manager of Manchester United saw triumph borne out of tragedy as he survived the devastating Munich air crash in 1958 to rebuild the team to become European champions 10 years later.
With contributions from the likes of Graeme Souness, George Graham, Charlie Nicholas, Chick Young and Stuart Cosgrove.
