1973 Barbarians v All Blacks:
Without doubt one of the most memorable rugby games in history, the 1973 Barbarians vs All Blacks game confirmed Gareth Edwards’ legendary status in the rugby world with arguably ‘the greatest try of all time’, which ultimately led to the Barbarians beating the All-Blacks 23-11. This thrilling DVD is also presented with an insightful and entertaining commentary from Gareth Edwards, Phil Bennett and David Duckham.
Botham’s Ashes: The Miracle of Headingley 1981:
Regularly voted as one of the greatest moments in the history of British sport, Ian Botham’s 149 not out against Australia at Headingley in 1981 was nothing short of miraculous. During the course of an Ashes series that shifted from the mundane to the fantastical with breathtaking speed, the Third Test proved to be the turning point, and for the first time in a generation, the whole nation was hooked! This DVD comprises the five highlight programmes that were broadcast and also includes an introduction by Ian Botham, a specially filmed exclusive interview filmed at Headingley, photo gallery and set of statistics.
1966 World Cup Final England v West Germany:
Still without doubt England’s greatest footballing achievement ever, the 1966 World Cup Final saw Sir Alf Ramsey send out his squad of soon to be national heroes for a gruelling half hour of extra time with the words “You’ve beaten them once now go out and do it again!”. So followed one of the most thrilling 30 minutes of football ever witnessed and the first ever hat-trick in the Final. This DVD includes the full match as seen on TV with the original commentary by Kenneth Wolstenholme, as well as a commentary with five players (Hurst, Peters, Jack Charlton, Banks and Cohen), and an interview with Wolstenholme and Tina Moore.>!!
