By Chris Wright
GOOOOOLACCIO!!!
April 30th 1995: The day that Elvis Costello joined James Richardson to watch Fiorentina vs Juventus on Football Italia and go over the weekend’s results while AC Jimbo, gawd bless ‘im, systematically fails to stave off the giggles as he runs through a series of the worst Costello-related puns ever committed to broadcast…
Let it be known that I would gladly ‘turn’ for either of these men.

You’d ‘turn’ for them two? Fuck me, what would you be like if you met Becks or Brad. Or Mick Hucknell.
Check out some of the names mentioned in that clip from a standard Serie A weekend: Vialli; Ravanelli; Zola; Batistuta; Baggio and Del Piero.
What has happened to that league? Presumably, it suffered the same fate as Channel Four sport.
The best is the “Accidents Will Happen” reference after the mention of an OG.
Greatest football show ever.
Di Natale, Del Piero, Di Vaio, Bojan, Lamela, Pato, Zlatan, Totti, Klose, Cisse, Cavani, Lavezzi, Matri, Giovinco, Hernanes, Cassano,Hamsik etc… there is still a TON of talent in Serie A.
that gives me tingles.
I’d love to see Football Italia back on CH4. It was awesome in the 90′s and be much better than Hollyoaks re-run’s or Time Team.
Three of my favorite things colliding in the past. This is making my head hurt. Maybe I should call Dr. Who…
