Their only release, crazy! And their English lol
I always wondered what that was about, having Italian football on channel 4. My local pub in Walthamstow does it now, they have some Italian football channel.
I think they were piggybacking on Italia 90 and Gazza’s tears and the middle classes rediscovering football. I liked James Richardson’s schtick which was pretty dry and funny. Went on a lot longer than they anticipated due to it becoming such a cult C4 show.
I can remember watching this for sure on it…

James Richardson sipping a cappuccino in some stunning Italian piazza reading out the headlines in the sports papers, an enduring image. Brought a bit of la dolce vita to my early 90s existence. Contrast with the Sunday Supplement on Sky, fake croissants and some weathered hacks/gentlemen of the press

Me too!
Loved the Saturday morning show, I watched it every week. I even watched the mezzanotte game mid week sometimes. Richardson was great and had a look about him that said: how the fuck did I pull off this brilliant gig?!

The breakfast was real on the cricket equivalent. But aged very quickly under the lights I’m told 
Same!
I bet it would!

Completely overlooked this label back then, probably because it was more techno/prog leaning.
Some good stuff, but pricey now though.

Could somebody point me in the direction of this exact pressing. OG only VG plus or better there seems to be a conflict as the ‘dream’ version isn’t shown as this long?
Link not working for me
Trippy!!
