Golden Gordon

Episode 2 of 3

A torrid tale of football fanaticism in the 1930s. Super-fan Gordon Ottershaw supports Barnstoneworth United, a team that hasn't won a match for six years. But worse is to come, and Gordon and his bicycle clips are re-united in a last desperate bid for glory and Bovril.
