- Опубликовано: 14 май 2019
- This is a long-forgotten show, hosted by Brian Moore, in which two celebrities pick personal heroes in the same sport - one retired, one still playing - and make the case for each of them to be the greatest, showing clips of the sportspeople in action and calling witnesses to plead on their behalf. A jury made up of twelve members of the studio audience decides.
In this edition, Ted Rogers champions Jimmy Greaves while Stan Boardman advocates for Ian Rush. Star sporting witnesses are Bobby Robson, Denis Law, Mike England and Ray Clemence. Includes the original ad break.

Been looking for this for ages!! Was starting to believe it was a figment of my imagination!!!! Have you got anymore? I'm sure there is a Ali v Marciano and a Best v Keegan. Keegan programme was controversial as I think he won by 11 votes to 1! Thanks for posting.
Dunebasher,
Thanks for providing this show which I had not heard of before. Good-humoured debate about two great players(I would pick Greavsie as the best myself). Good host in Brian Moore.
Greavesy every day of the week & twice on Sundays
Greaves = greatest goal scorer ever.
Best = greatest player ever.
Rip jimmy
I've been looking for this for along time. I remember the episode with Keegan vs Best. Hope that's on here too.
Greaves by far greatest goal scorer. No one near the amount he scored, not even Shearer. I don’t support the theory that he was playing in an era where defenders were slack, as Clements makes out. Yet Rodgers rightly calls out the punishment good players got from defenders. Check out Chopper Harris trying to stop George Best scoring against Chelsea, players today would be rolling around for half an hour. Greavsie scored his goals in his era. If he was around in Rush or Shearer era you can’t tell me he would not have been capable of adapting for any subsequent era of football. This is why you can’t compare the different eras and this is why you can have good reasons debate about them.
Yes I agree
Awesome premise for a show. Very funny to watch this so many years after. Greavsie is still the greatest. Rush was incredible but at no point anywhere close to Jimmy.
Re-purposing the ITV Olympics 1984 theme music - much as Thames also re-used the spinning and stripy ITV logo for Midweek Sports Special intro; they even resisted the tennis ball form-up for this show for a season (at least!)
I seem to remember some session singers singing 'Destiny' on that tune in the ITV trailer for their 1984 Olympic coverage in the couple of months before those games started. However, due a dispute between Thames TV technicians and their management, ITV ended up not showing those Olympics! BBC showed the '84 games exclusively in the UK.
Remember Seb Coe Vs Roger Bannister with Jeffrey bloody Archer making the case for Coe. Also Rod Laver v John McEnroe.
Memorably sampled in a series of episodes of Fantasy Football League.
In Rush was a great player no doubt,..but Jimmy Greece's was the BEST
I remember there was Davis v Davis in snooker old v Modern
Ted's Terrible jokes, oh dear But Greaves was incredible , but rush I suppose was only 25 and had an incredible 6 years , Boardman also unfunny with his itv celebrity golfing mates , great idea for a show , both player legends, it's so un PC and old pals act type programme , great
Both great, Greaves had more skill.
