Just finished binge watching this on Netflix.

I have to say it's a bloody good watch. Really gets the blood pumping.

Only six episodes, but very likeable characters, hope they decide to continue to follow the evolution of the game with another series.

Unfortunately one of the lead actors is serving time and that probably stopped any immediate continuation of the show.

I would say you're a bit late to the party but as I'm just watching the last series of '24' I'm not in a position to comment.

That said, agree it was a good watch.

Yes, it was good, Obviously it was just a fictionalised story for TV and they did take huge liberties with the facts; I had to keep telling myself it's just a TV show loosely based on real events to stop myself from saying "That's wrong!" every five minutes.

But yes, if you are interested in the early years of football (which I am) it's well worth a watch.
