An excellent documentary on ITV last night called Brothers in Football. It was the story of the Corinthians (to become Corinthian Casuals). It covered their history and influence on world football and a great story about the current team playing a match against SC Corinthians Paulista in Brazil.
Did anybody else see it?

    Really good TV. Think one of their best ever seasons was,
    1955-56 when they reached the Amateur Cup Final
    v Bishop Auckland. Sure Mickey Stewart played for them
    before signing for Charlton.

    Three brothers, Danny, Ray and Rod Wallace, from Southeast London, played for Southampton.
    On 22 October 1988, they played in a match at The Dell against Sheffield Wednesday - the first time that three brothers had played in the same team in the English professional top-flight since 1920. They continued to play together for the remainder of the 1988–89 season.
    For many years, a framed photo of the brothers, in Southampton kit, was displayed in The Dog & Bell pub in Deptford. I'll have a look to see if it's still there next time I visit.

    Saw it but not to the end. Was a longgg programme. Brilliant story. More than a connection between a giant and a minnow, but if we are to believe it, how football was introduced to Brazil. Did they make it to Brazil and what happened?
