Presumably because he might as well, St Etienne's Bob Stanley (the music St Etienne, yes) is hosting a season of football documentaries at the Barbican in London over three days in June. Excellent stuff it looks too, with 5th June featuring The Saturday Men (West Brom, 1963) and the Brian Clough Calendar Special in which Austin Mitchell hosts a right Cloughie tear-up with Don Revie after his departure from Leeds; on 6th June the extraordinary Leyton Orient - Yours For A Fiver ("I can hear a man in there with a voice like mine Monday!") and John Boorman's 1964 Swindon study Six Days to Saturday; and on 7th June the North Korea 1966 documentary The Game of Their Lives and a 1964 ITV World In Action on Stanley Matthews.
