If you get an opportunity to watch it, you should.

Watched it yesterday afternoon, I thought it was really good.

I knew little about Corinthian Casuals or their story but what a fantastic club they are, totally amateur, don't pay the players and despite that are still struggling financially ( aIthough I expect the revenue they earned from the film and the trio to Brazil will more than help).

To be fair BT Sport do some really good documentarys. The one about youth football and the David Rocastle ones were both outstanding.

Tbf you seem to have been watching Wolves for as long as anyone on here and your memory recall is unbelievable! I always enjoy your posts when discussing old matches and the great players you/we saw.

I met BSK (or was it his carer!) at a game last season and we walked down from the town to the ground together. He was such a nice guy and I hope our paths will cross again this year.

I watched on Saturday night and thoroughly enjoyed it. The reception they receive in Sao Paolo is amazing and totally genuine. It’s a shame that such an historic club go totally unrecognised in this country

Erm...if he's as old as you say he is, won't he smell a bit? I'm think zombie corpse rather than forgetting your deodorant...

Agreed, the Brazilians have really bought into the history of this old club and have effectively protected it and prevented it from going to the wall. It's a real shame that a club of this standing and this ethos go largely unnoticed by English football.

I've bought a some stuff from their online shop today just to donate some cash to them.
