Summary
The Athletic's Adam Hurrey, Jack Pitt-Brooke and Nick Miller dust off the VHS player to reminisce about the glory days of the own goals and gaffs video, before the internet came along and ruined everything forever.
Who's the true master of the genre - Danny Baker or Nick Hancock? What are the criteria for the ultimate own goal or missed sitter? What happened to poor old Peter Devine?
All this plus a journey through the murky depths of the football DVD world featuring a cast of former players and celebrities all getting in on the act ranging from Vinnie Jones, Ray Winstone, Robbie Savage, Paddy McGuinness and even Zoe Ball.
