Sport & Music - A truly uplifting combination!

Television programme making can be occasionally uplifting-
whether or not segments are filmed in European zoos rather than the Antarctic.



Magazine programme Football Focus on BBC this morning provided some great images of the iconic & legendary Eighties Manchester band The Smiths as it broadcast a live programme from Salford Lads Club.


Shots  from the 'video' (something Morrissey & the band largely declined from having anything to do with) are interspersed with cuts from presenter Dan Walker, and some of the regular studio guests. 




Couple this with fresh respect for Joey Barton (who later speaks of his idolisation of Morrissey & The Smiths in the programme) this is BBC at its best, and a brilliant marriage of sport & music: truly uplifting!
