Go on, Salford, go on, Salford! | 0:00:04 | 0:00:06 | |
Two years ago, five of Manchester United's most successful | 0:00:06 | 0:00:10 | |
-players bought Salford City... -The hot chocolate's nice. | 0:00:10 | 0:00:13 | |
..one of Britain's smallest football clubs. | 0:00:13 | 0:00:16 | |
Some fans didn't want to change. | 0:00:16 | 0:00:18 | |
It's not going to be the same ever again. | 0:00:18 | 0:00:20 | |
Their team of part-timers were out-played on the pitch. | 0:00:20 | 0:00:23 | |
Oh! | 0:00:23 | 0:00:24 | |
-Hey! -And their leading goal-scorer was too busy off it. | 0:00:24 | 0:00:28 | |
Why the BLEEP did we buy a football club? | 0:00:28 | 0:00:30 | |
-Why? -So, it was out with the old guard... | 0:00:30 | 0:00:33 | |
..and in with two of the league's toughest men. | 0:00:35 | 0:00:37 | |
That, mate, is an embarrassment of a performance. | 0:00:37 | 0:00:40 | |
-By the end of the first season... -Please can I have a new oven? | 0:00:40 | 0:00:43 | |
-..they'd made over the ground. -Hey! -Come on, Seddon! | 0:00:43 | 0:00:48 | |
Their star striker found the net. | 0:00:48 | 0:00:50 | |
CHEERING | 0:00:50 | 0:00:51 | |
Easy, weren't it? | 0:00:51 | 0:00:53 | |
There is a God. | 0:00:53 | 0:00:55 | |
And an amazing winning streak won them promotion against all odds. | 0:00:56 | 0:01:01 | |
Now the class of '92 face their second year in charge. | 0:01:08 | 0:01:12 | |
Dry yourself off, else them girls there won't kiss you. | 0:01:12 | 0:01:14 | |
Salford's amazing FA Cup run grips the nation. | 0:01:14 | 0:01:18 | |
-COMMENTATOR: -Oh, what a goal! | 0:01:19 | 0:01:21 | |
We're going to Wembley. Wembley! | 0:01:21 | 0:01:24 | |
But off the pitch, there's trouble... | 0:01:24 | 0:01:27 | |
Salford City Football were given a yellow card over the potential deadly E. coli. | 0:01:27 | 0:01:31 | |
-I love it. -..and a big day to prepare for. | 0:01:31 | 0:01:34 | |
-I'm working so hard because I've got to pay for a wedding. -Don't talk crap. | 0:01:34 | 0:01:37 | |
Fans and owners dream of winning the league again. | 0:01:37 | 0:01:40 | |
What do I want from this season? | 0:01:40 | 0:01:41 | |
-Promotion. -Hey! | 0:01:41 | 0:01:43 | |
But their star striker has lost his form. | 0:01:43 | 0:01:46 | |
That's seven games I've not scored. | 0:01:47 | 0:01:49 | |
If players aren't performing, they're not scoring, you've got to fear for your place. | 0:01:49 | 0:01:53 | |
And the managers are losing it... | 0:01:53 | 0:01:54 | |
-Do things right! -That sums this changing room up. | 0:01:54 | 0:01:58 | |
..as the team crumble under pressure. | 0:01:58 | 0:02:00 | |
Yeah, we're not bothered, yeah, you don't care. | 0:02:00 | 0:02:02 | |
This is where you need to be strong managers. Because it's the first real bad spell you've had. | 0:02:02 | 0:02:06 | |
In their second year in charge... | 0:02:06 | 0:02:09 | |
He's been paid a lot of money to do BLEEP all all season. | 0:02:09 | 0:02:11 | |
..are the class of '92 still out of their league? | 0:02:11 | 0:02:15 | |
-Oh, it's a penalty. -Knowing that nine months comes down to one moment, | 0:02:15 | 0:02:19 | |
one decision, one shot. | 0:02:19 | 0:02:21 | |
WOMAN SCREAMS | 0:02:22 | 0:02:24 | |
It's Saturday, match day. | 0:02:34 | 0:02:36 | |
We've got no spoons. | 0:02:36 | 0:02:38 | |
Salford's joint manager, 31-year-old Bernard Morley, | 0:02:38 | 0:02:41 | |
is at home with fiancee Jemma. | 0:02:41 | 0:02:43 | |
-INTERVIEWER: -Do you ever go and watch? -So, I really only go when I've... | 0:02:43 | 0:02:47 | |
got someone to watch her. | 0:02:47 | 0:02:48 | |
She's a part-time supporter at best. | 0:02:48 | 0:02:51 | |
Who's the one you come home to and moan about, | 0:02:51 | 0:02:53 | |
and who's the one who experiences everything that you experience with? | 0:02:53 | 0:02:57 | |
-You. -Right, then. | 0:02:57 | 0:02:59 | |
-I don't know where the spoons are. -Look. | 0:02:59 | 0:03:01 | |
What are you doing today while he's at football? | 0:03:01 | 0:03:03 | |
I'm going to try my wedding dress on. | 0:03:03 | 0:03:06 | |
We get married on the 14th of May. | 0:03:06 | 0:03:08 | |
Er, at the Last Drop Village at Bolton. | 0:03:08 | 0:03:12 | |
So she's a very, very lucky lady. | 0:03:12 | 0:03:14 | |
Looking forward to the day. Think it will be a good day, you know, | 0:03:14 | 0:03:17 | |
it's just a good day to celebrate with your friends and family, innit? | 0:03:17 | 0:03:20 | |
And all the hard work we've done this season, if we was to win it, | 0:03:20 | 0:03:23 | |
it would make the wedding better. Be good. | 0:03:23 | 0:03:26 | |
Don't tell me what Mummy looks like because I'm not allowed to see. | 0:03:26 | 0:03:29 | |
-All right? -OK. | 0:03:30 | 0:03:32 | |
Give me a kiss. | 0:03:32 | 0:03:33 | |
See you later. | 0:03:35 | 0:03:36 | |
Good kicking. | 0:03:43 | 0:03:46 | |
That's like daddy, that. | 0:03:46 | 0:03:47 | |
Last year, 35-year-old Gareth Seddon was Salford's star striker. | 0:03:47 | 0:03:53 | |
-Yes. -But this season, a torn ligament has stopped him from playing. | 0:03:53 | 0:03:57 | |
That's a foul, referee, red card. | 0:03:59 | 0:04:01 | |
This is where I've spent all my life, on here, | 0:04:01 | 0:04:03 | |
just kicking a football around. | 0:04:03 | 0:04:04 | |
The BLEEP neighbours used to go mental. | 0:04:04 | 0:04:07 | |
I used to hit it in the garden all the time. | 0:04:07 | 0:04:10 | |
Mum had to pay for about five smashed windows. | 0:04:10 | 0:04:13 | |
I got my results here off the physio. Grade two MCL tear. | 0:04:15 | 0:04:20 | |
-Menisci lateral, collateral ligament damage. -Are you hoping you'll be | 0:04:20 | 0:04:24 | |
able to get back, Gareth, playing this season? | 0:04:24 | 0:04:27 | |
I've been out, what, eight weeks now? | 0:04:27 | 0:04:29 | |
And I've probably got another six, seven weeks that I'm going to be out. | 0:04:29 | 0:04:32 | |
And no matter how well I played last season, it don't count for anything, | 0:04:32 | 0:04:37 | |
really. You know, football's cruel, innit? | 0:04:37 | 0:04:40 | |
Let's just be positive, and let's hope your knee gets sorted quicker than | 0:04:40 | 0:04:45 | |
-anticipated, eh? -Hmm. | 0:04:45 | 0:04:47 | |
Bernard and co-manager, 33-year-old Anthony "Jonno" Johnson | 0:04:52 | 0:04:56 | |
always drive to matches together. | 0:04:56 | 0:04:59 | |
I need to know who's in the shortlist. | 0:04:59 | 0:05:01 | |
-What, for my best man? -Yeah. -Sean's favourite. -James. | 0:05:01 | 0:05:05 | |
-No. -You're not doing your brother, no? Sean, Sharpie. | 0:05:05 | 0:05:08 | |
-No. -Sean, me. | 0:05:08 | 0:05:10 | |
-You and Sean. -There'll be another one. | 0:05:10 | 0:05:13 | |
There's not another one. There's only you and Sean that actually really, | 0:05:13 | 0:05:16 | |
really know me. | 0:05:16 | 0:05:17 | |
Why've you been mates for so long? | 0:05:19 | 0:05:22 | |
-Why have I been mates with him for so long? -Because of tunes like this. | 0:05:22 | 0:05:25 | |
He ticks all of the boxes. | 0:05:25 | 0:05:26 | |
-He's a friend. -Have a listen to this, you bad boy. | 0:05:26 | 0:05:29 | |
Woohoo! Because of shit like this. | 0:05:29 | 0:05:31 | |
MUSIC STARTS: Dignity by Deacon Blue | 0:05:31 | 0:05:34 | |
Are you ready?! | 0:05:34 | 0:05:37 | |
# There's a man I meet, walks up our street | 0:05:37 | 0:05:41 | |
# He's a worker for the council, has been 20 years... # | 0:05:41 | 0:05:45 | |
Tell me this isn't a BLEEP tune. Here we go, now it kicks in. | 0:05:45 | 0:05:47 | |
Let's go, are we ready? Hold on tight. | 0:05:47 | 0:05:50 | |
# And I'm telling this story | 0:05:54 | 0:05:57 | |
# In a faraway scene | 0:05:57 | 0:05:59 | |
# Sipping down raki and reading Maynard Keynes | 0:05:59 | 0:06:03 | |
# And I'm thinking about home and all that means... # | 0:06:03 | 0:06:07 | |
# Oh, Salford, we love you! # | 0:06:08 | 0:06:10 | |
October 10th, Salford's ground, Moor Lane, is buzzing. | 0:06:10 | 0:06:14 | |
The team have won both their games so far in their FA Cup campaign. | 0:06:15 | 0:06:19 | |
Now they face Bradford Park Avenue. | 0:06:20 | 0:06:23 | |
Victory would take them a step closer to winning one of English football's | 0:06:24 | 0:06:28 | |
biggest prizes, the FA Cup. | 0:06:28 | 0:06:31 | |
If we win today, that'll be the furthest we've ever gone, | 0:06:31 | 0:06:34 | |
so it will be history for the club. | 0:06:34 | 0:06:35 | |
There's only one game then until the first round proper, | 0:06:35 | 0:06:39 | |
so it's a massive game. | 0:06:39 | 0:06:40 | |
So hopefully there will be a few here today. | 0:06:40 | 0:06:43 | |
Karen Baird runs one of the biggest independent accountants | 0:06:43 | 0:06:46 | |
in the North West. | 0:06:46 | 0:06:48 | |
She's also Salford's chairman. | 0:06:48 | 0:06:51 | |
Six of the committee have gone on holiday today to Benidorm, | 0:06:51 | 0:06:53 | |
so I've dragged my friend in to do the turnstiles. | 0:06:53 | 0:06:56 | |
I like football, especially the Salford City players | 0:06:56 | 0:07:00 | |
because they're all cute. | 0:07:00 | 0:07:02 | |
Two years ago, Salford were lucky to get 70 people to watch them play. | 0:07:10 | 0:07:14 | |
Thank you. | 0:07:14 | 0:07:16 | |
Cheers, love. | 0:07:16 | 0:07:18 | |
But this year's FA Cup fever means Babs Gaskill has never been busier. | 0:07:18 | 0:07:22 | |
She's been serving fans their burgers and pies for the last 26 years. | 0:07:22 | 0:07:26 | |
I like coming in here because of the banter and the cheek, | 0:07:27 | 0:07:31 | |
yeah, that they give me. | 0:07:31 | 0:07:33 | |
Can I borrow your hat? Hey, hey! | 0:07:33 | 0:07:37 | |
It suits me better than you, don't it? | 0:07:37 | 0:07:40 | |
It's big for the club | 0:07:41 | 0:07:44 | |
and it's exciting for me, because I've not been this far | 0:07:44 | 0:07:46 | |
in a cup before as a manager, or as a player. | 0:07:46 | 0:07:48 | |
And, I suppose, if you get to do that once in your career | 0:07:48 | 0:07:51 | |
you'll, sort of, retire a happy man. | 0:07:51 | 0:07:53 | |
Listen in, it all comes down to today. | 0:07:53 | 0:07:55 | |
It's a one-off game, boys. | 0:07:55 | 0:07:57 | |
We win today, we take it to Tuesday's game, don't we? | 0:07:57 | 0:08:00 | |
Go and do what you get paid for and we'll give them a game, all right? | 0:08:00 | 0:08:04 | |
These are exciting times for Salford's part-time players, | 0:08:04 | 0:08:08 | |
like factory worker Steve Howson. | 0:08:08 | 0:08:10 | |
-We've just got to go out there and take the game to them. -Come on! | 0:08:10 | 0:08:13 | |
-Come on. -Enjoy yourselves. All right, son? | 0:08:13 | 0:08:16 | |
It's rubbish when you're not playing. | 0:08:16 | 0:08:18 | |
Massive game like today, and then you're not involved. | 0:08:18 | 0:08:22 | |
It's crap. | 0:08:23 | 0:08:25 | |
CHANTING | 0:08:25 | 0:08:28 | |
-CROWD: -Salford! | 0:08:29 | 0:08:31 | |
For us to get a good cup run, it'll be like a nod at that, | 0:08:31 | 0:08:34 | |
and I'd be quite proud, actually. | 0:08:34 | 0:08:35 | |
I'd be proud of the club, I'd be proud of everyone here. | 0:08:35 | 0:08:38 | |
To get a televised game in the third round would be all right, wouldn't it?! | 0:08:38 | 0:08:41 | |
Today, Salford are playing in their home colours, red. | 0:08:41 | 0:08:45 | |
GASPING | 0:08:50 | 0:08:52 | |
We weren't that bothered last year, really, about the FA Cup, | 0:08:54 | 0:08:57 | |
because we wanted to gain promotion. | 0:08:57 | 0:08:59 | |
But then I think when we realised this was important to the players... | 0:08:59 | 0:09:02 | |
We take it for granted, you know, we've played in the FA Cup, | 0:09:02 | 0:09:05 | |
we've been to FA Cup finals, | 0:09:05 | 0:09:06 | |
but these lads actually want to get to... | 0:09:06 | 0:09:08 | |
Their FA Cup final is the first round proper. | 0:09:08 | 0:09:10 | |
Gaz...! | 0:09:10 | 0:09:13 | |
We're going to go four in the middle, yeah? | 0:09:13 | 0:09:16 | |
Tell Scott to sit on his toes. | 0:09:16 | 0:09:18 | |
Bradford Park are a strong team from the league above. | 0:09:18 | 0:09:21 | |
-CHEERING -Get in! | 0:09:21 | 0:09:24 | |
Salford take an early lead... | 0:09:25 | 0:09:27 | |
..but it's a struggle. | 0:09:31 | 0:09:33 | |
And they give away a penalty. | 0:09:35 | 0:09:37 | |
We're actually getting battered at the moment. | 0:09:37 | 0:09:42 | |
CHEERING | 0:09:42 | 0:09:44 | |
The game ends in a draw. | 0:09:46 | 0:09:48 | |
The two sides now face a replay. | 0:09:48 | 0:09:50 | |
Can anyone tell me what formation we were playing second half? | 0:09:55 | 0:09:58 | |
Come on, don't just sit there, sulking, tell me. | 0:09:58 | 0:10:00 | |
-4-3-1-2, weren't it? -It should have been, yeah. | 0:10:00 | 0:10:03 | |
We did not play our formation today and we'll ask the questions. | 0:10:03 | 0:10:06 | |
Listen, I know you'll look away. Do you know why you look away? | 0:10:06 | 0:10:08 | |
Because you're a coward. You let me and him down today with your performance. | 0:10:08 | 0:10:12 | |
Do you know what it were, mate? You didn't try. | 0:10:12 | 0:10:14 | |
-And when you need a bollocking, you'll -BLEEP -get one. | 0:10:14 | 0:10:16 | |
-You've not -BLEEP -bothered, you've not turned up, | 0:10:16 | 0:10:18 | |
so as much as Jordan will take the shit, there's a few more, I'll tell you now. | 0:10:18 | 0:10:21 | |
-So -BLEEP -go home and take a look at yourselves, and be -BLEEP -honest with it, yeah? | 0:10:21 | 0:10:25 | |
-Get you showered. -SOLITARY CLAP | 0:10:25 | 0:10:28 | |
-Don't -BLEEP -clap because it were shit. | 0:10:28 | 0:10:31 | |
Jemma's brought her mum to see the wedding dress for the first time. | 0:10:39 | 0:10:43 | |
It's going to be my dream day as well as Jemma's, so, yeah, | 0:10:43 | 0:10:47 | |
I'm really looking forward to it. | 0:10:47 | 0:10:49 | |
I'm so chuffed because he is a good man, Bern. | 0:10:49 | 0:10:51 | |
-Are you ready? -Not quite. | 0:10:51 | 0:10:53 | |
For Bernard, football is definitely number one. | 0:10:53 | 0:10:56 | |
Jonno's probably the number two, | 0:10:56 | 0:11:00 | |
his mum's probably number three, | 0:11:00 | 0:11:02 | |
and then me and the kids all come after. | 0:11:02 | 0:11:05 | |
# Do-do-do-do | 0:11:05 | 0:11:08 | |
# Do-do-do-do. # | 0:11:08 | 0:11:10 | |
It's a lovely fit, isn't it? | 0:11:10 | 0:11:14 | |
-Stop it. -I'm not allowed to tell my daddy. | 0:11:14 | 0:11:18 | |
-Pardon? -I'm not allowed to tell my daddy. | 0:11:18 | 0:11:20 | |
You tell your dad that she looks like a princess. | 0:11:20 | 0:11:22 | |
I'm not allowed because Daddy said. | 0:11:22 | 0:11:25 | |
God help me on the day. | 0:11:25 | 0:11:27 | |
-Sorry? -Beautiful. -It's beautiful. | 0:11:27 | 0:11:31 | |
You're beautiful, but you're beautiful without this dress on. | 0:11:31 | 0:11:36 | |
Thanks. | 0:11:36 | 0:11:38 | |
HE SPEAKS SPANISH | 0:11:45 | 0:11:47 | |
-Los fines de semana y del quince al 19th esta lleno. -Si. | 0:11:54 | 0:11:59 | |
Phil Neville moved his family to Spain | 0:11:59 | 0:12:01 | |
back in July when he became assistant manager at Valencia, | 0:12:01 | 0:12:05 | |
one of the country's biggest clubs. | 0:12:05 | 0:12:07 | |
I was on a driving range and Julie was working in a shop in Manchester | 0:12:07 | 0:12:12 | |
and there was a call from Nuno, the manager of Valencia at the time, | 0:12:12 | 0:12:18 | |
and he said, "Do you want to come and be my assistant?" | 0:12:18 | 0:12:21 | |
And I said, "Yes." | 0:12:21 | 0:12:23 | |
And I forgot to ask Julie, you know, that... | 0:12:25 | 0:12:29 | |
"By the way, we're moving out to Spain, and we're moving to Valencia." | 0:12:29 | 0:12:34 | |
There wasn't much discussion, really. | 0:12:34 | 0:12:36 | |
Philip took the job, he packed his one suitcase and off he went, | 0:12:36 | 0:12:39 | |
then I had literally two and a half weeks | 0:12:39 | 0:12:41 | |
to come out here, find a house, find schools. | 0:12:41 | 0:12:44 | |
-Schools, yeah. -I did curse him a few times, but, you know, | 0:12:44 | 0:12:48 | |
I knew he always had a dream to play abroad, | 0:12:48 | 0:12:50 | |
and for one reason or another that didn't turn out. | 0:12:50 | 0:12:53 | |
So when this opportunity came along, I knew he wanted it, | 0:12:53 | 0:12:56 | |
the minute he made the call to me because there's so many times that | 0:12:56 | 0:12:59 | |
Philip's had offers that he's never even mentioned. | 0:12:59 | 0:13:02 | |
So the fact he called me, and obviously he'd already accepted, I now know, | 0:13:02 | 0:13:05 | |
I knew that he really wanted it and I would never stand in his way. | 0:13:05 | 0:13:09 | |
The Nevilles might be 1,000 miles away from Salford, | 0:13:10 | 0:13:14 | |
but events at Moor Lane still dominate the weekend. | 0:13:14 | 0:13:16 | |
Every Saturday when we come and watch the game now, | 0:13:16 | 0:13:20 | |
we always watch a Spanish game, and Harvey has, like, | 0:13:20 | 0:13:22 | |
a notification on the phone every time something happens at Salford. | 0:13:22 | 0:13:25 | |
Every time it beeps I'm always nervous. | 0:13:25 | 0:13:28 | |
It's going to be difficult for us to maintain the level of commitment | 0:13:28 | 0:13:32 | |
that we had last season, it's going to be difficult. | 0:13:32 | 0:13:34 | |
You know, I am going to be in Spain a lot of the time. | 0:13:34 | 0:13:37 | |
And, you know, we're not going to be at games. | 0:13:37 | 0:13:39 | |
Some life, innit? | 0:13:39 | 0:13:40 | |
Just lying down all day on your phone, you know what I mean? | 0:13:40 | 0:13:43 | |
I was cleaning my dad's car when I was your age every Saturday. | 0:13:43 | 0:13:46 | |
It's something that Jonno and Bernard have to probably | 0:13:46 | 0:13:50 | |
learn as managers, that they have to retain the motivation | 0:13:50 | 0:13:53 | |
without us always looking over them, and that's going to be the biggest test this year. | 0:13:53 | 0:13:58 | |
-2-0? -2-0, last minute. | 0:13:58 | 0:14:00 | |
-Oh, so you've won. -We've won. | 0:14:00 | 0:14:02 | |
Happy house for me. | 0:14:02 | 0:14:04 | |
A footballer's career is usually over by the time they're 35, | 0:14:14 | 0:14:18 | |
and Gareth's already planning for the future. | 0:14:18 | 0:14:22 | |
He's bought a cheese shop with his girlfriend Melissa. | 0:14:22 | 0:14:26 | |
I do think he's in for a massive shock, yeah, | 0:14:30 | 0:14:33 | |
because he's never... | 0:14:33 | 0:14:34 | |
He's never really worked, he's always made his living from | 0:14:34 | 0:14:37 | |
football or modelling | 0:14:37 | 0:14:40 | |
and it's just going to be a big difference for him. | 0:14:40 | 0:14:44 | |
There's going to be issues that he's going to have to sort out. | 0:14:44 | 0:14:47 | |
Just, you know, stuff like that doesn't happen. | 0:14:47 | 0:14:50 | |
He'd always had his life sorted out for him | 0:14:50 | 0:14:53 | |
when he was playing football and modelling. | 0:14:53 | 0:14:57 | |
So, yeah, I do think it is going to be a massive shock to his system. | 0:14:57 | 0:15:01 | |
People will come in and say, | 0:15:04 | 0:15:06 | |
"Oh, can you recommend a really good, strong cheese?" | 0:15:06 | 0:15:08 | |
I frigging hate strong cheese. | 0:15:08 | 0:15:10 | |
It's like sick on a cracker. | 0:15:10 | 0:15:12 | |
Seddon's got a cheese shop? | 0:15:12 | 0:15:14 | |
Why the hell has he got a cheese shop? | 0:15:14 | 0:15:16 | |
At one stage I was going to give up football and settle down | 0:15:16 | 0:15:19 | |
with a bit of crumbly Lancashire. | 0:15:19 | 0:15:21 | |
A cheese shop? Has Seddon opened a cheese shop? | 0:15:21 | 0:15:25 | |
So we've got this one, Cornish Yarg, it's wrapped in nettle leaves. | 0:15:25 | 0:15:31 | |
Well, he's getting ready for life after football, isn't he? | 0:15:31 | 0:15:33 | |
So why not? | 0:15:33 | 0:15:35 | |
I am thinking about stuff to do after football | 0:15:35 | 0:15:38 | |
because I am getting to that age now when, you know, | 0:15:38 | 0:15:42 | |
it takes me about a week to recover from a game. | 0:15:42 | 0:15:44 | |
Obviously, everyone involved with Salford - | 0:15:44 | 0:15:47 | |
they've all got jobs already. | 0:15:47 | 0:15:49 | |
You know, and their football money is kind of like their bonus | 0:15:49 | 0:15:52 | |
at the end of the week, whereas I've always relied on my football money as my wage. | 0:15:52 | 0:15:56 | |
And because I left school and went straight into football as an apprentice, | 0:15:56 | 0:16:00 | |
and I haven't got a trade, I haven't been in a work environment | 0:16:00 | 0:16:04 | |
all my life... | 0:16:04 | 0:16:05 | |
You know, it's basically just been football, you know, | 0:16:05 | 0:16:09 | |
and a bit of modelling. | 0:16:09 | 0:16:11 | |
But it's another challenge. | 0:16:11 | 0:16:13 | |
Nice presentation. | 0:16:13 | 0:16:15 | |
I need to get the lads in. Do you know what? | 0:16:15 | 0:16:17 | |
I was going to invite Jonno and Bernard in, | 0:16:17 | 0:16:19 | |
but it's a little bit too sophisticated for them. | 0:16:19 | 0:16:22 | |
Put them on the fucking back foot and back yourselves, yeah? | 0:16:22 | 0:16:25 | |
The game is there for the taking. | 0:16:25 | 0:16:27 | |
Have a bit of fucking pride in what you do, take care. | 0:16:27 | 0:16:30 | |
A week after they drew with Bradford Park Avenue, | 0:16:30 | 0:16:33 | |
the clubs meet for an FA Cup rematch. | 0:16:33 | 0:16:35 | |
Come on, Salford! | 0:16:37 | 0:16:39 | |
Get on this side of him now. | 0:16:40 | 0:16:43 | |
Salford are playing in blue. | 0:16:43 | 0:16:44 | |
-They're there for the taking. -It's such a tight game. | 0:16:44 | 0:16:47 | |
It's either going to be one mistake or one bit of brilliance. | 0:16:47 | 0:16:51 | |
Cross it. Brilliant! Go on, son! | 0:16:51 | 0:16:54 | |
All bets are off when it's the FA Cup because | 0:16:54 | 0:16:57 | |
so many things can be a leveller. | 0:16:57 | 0:16:59 | |
It's that little bit of luck, | 0:16:59 | 0:17:00 | |
it's that little bit of taking your chances. | 0:17:00 | 0:17:03 | |
What a ball! | 0:17:04 | 0:17:05 | |
This time Salford step up a level... | 0:17:05 | 0:17:08 | |
-..and score the game's only goal. -Brilliant! | 0:17:11 | 0:17:14 | |
Salford are through to the next round, | 0:17:14 | 0:17:17 | |
-the furthest the team has ever gone. -Get in! | 0:17:17 | 0:17:20 | |
Cheers. Can you give us a programme as well, please? | 0:17:22 | 0:17:25 | |
Gary Neville will be here, so will... | 0:17:25 | 0:17:28 | |
Scholesy will turn up, I think. | 0:17:28 | 0:17:29 | |
A week later, the FA Cup pitches Salford against Southport FC. | 0:17:29 | 0:17:34 | |
-How did he miss that? -Fucking hell! | 0:17:35 | 0:17:39 | |
GASPING | 0:17:39 | 0:17:41 | |
I think we can win it but they're two leagues above us, they should win. | 0:17:41 | 0:17:45 | |
We can win it because if you've watched the first 15 minutes, | 0:17:45 | 0:17:48 | |
it don't look to be that much of a difference. | 0:17:48 | 0:17:50 | |
It's a nerve-racking game... | 0:17:50 | 0:17:52 | |
-Oh, my! -Fucking hell! | 0:17:52 | 0:17:53 | |
..right up until the 69th minute... | 0:17:53 | 0:17:55 | |
Go on. | 0:17:57 | 0:17:59 | |
Good ball! Ooh! | 0:18:01 | 0:18:03 | |
..when Salford striker James Poole takes a chance from halfway. | 0:18:03 | 0:18:07 | |
Get in! | 0:18:09 | 0:18:11 | |
Great, innit, eh? Brilliant. Well deserved it. | 0:18:13 | 0:18:16 | |
That is the greatest goal you'll ever see in your life. | 0:18:16 | 0:18:19 | |
I just hit it, luckily it went in. | 0:18:19 | 0:18:21 | |
Try that again another 100 times, 99 times it goes over the bar, but, | 0:18:21 | 0:18:24 | |
thankfully, it went in today. | 0:18:24 | 0:18:27 | |
Fucking unbelievable, that, innit? | 0:18:27 | 0:18:29 | |
-Are they just going to get bladdered now? -No, well... | 0:18:29 | 0:18:33 | |
# Ain't no mountain high enough | 0:18:33 | 0:18:35 | |
# Ain't no river wide enough... # | 0:18:35 | 0:18:39 | |
Salford have made it through to the FA Cup's first round proper. | 0:18:40 | 0:18:43 | |
Now they face English football's biggest clubs and the games will be | 0:18:43 | 0:18:48 | |
broadcast live to the nation. | 0:18:48 | 0:18:50 | |
As a personal note, it's a dream come true. | 0:18:50 | 0:18:53 | |
I've wanted to play first round all my life, really. | 0:18:53 | 0:18:56 | |
And now hopefully I'll get picked, or avoid injury, | 0:18:56 | 0:18:59 | |
and get a game with whoever we draw in the first round, | 0:18:59 | 0:19:02 | |
so we get on Match Of The Day. | 0:19:02 | 0:19:05 | |
Salford bought 29-year-old defender Steve Howson | 0:19:12 | 0:19:15 | |
from rival club Ramsbottom. | 0:19:15 | 0:19:17 | |
His grandparents have supported him since he was signed by | 0:19:17 | 0:19:21 | |
Manchester United as a nine-year-old. | 0:19:21 | 0:19:23 | |
You've been following us in the FA Cup journey. | 0:19:23 | 0:19:26 | |
Yeah, and tomorrow night we've got to move the furniture round | 0:19:26 | 0:19:29 | |
because all the neighbours are coming in to watch. | 0:19:29 | 0:19:32 | |
That's when I signed for United, that, weren't it? | 0:19:32 | 0:19:35 | |
Yeah, I was at United until about 13, something like that, wasn't it? | 0:19:35 | 0:19:40 | |
13-year-old, 14-year-old, so there about four, five years. | 0:19:40 | 0:19:44 | |
Harold's 84 and I'm 81. | 0:19:44 | 0:19:45 | |
We never thought we'd ever see him on telly | 0:19:45 | 0:19:48 | |
and now to see all this, and, like, | 0:19:48 | 0:19:51 | |
everybody hasn't got a grandson that's doing this. | 0:19:51 | 0:19:55 | |
It's wonderful. Yeah. | 0:19:55 | 0:19:58 | |
It's quite emotional, actually, to hear your nan say some nice words about you, because usually... | 0:19:58 | 0:20:02 | |
-You know... -I don't give you bad words! | 0:20:02 | 0:20:05 | |
You've got to get out and show them what you can do. | 0:20:05 | 0:20:08 | |
Ryan Giggs, class of '92 legend and part-owner of Salford, | 0:20:14 | 0:20:18 | |
is also a local boy. | 0:20:18 | 0:20:20 | |
Salford has been my home for over 32, 33 years. | 0:20:20 | 0:20:24 | |
Salford means a lot to me because it's where I grew up, | 0:20:24 | 0:20:27 | |
it's where I played football. | 0:20:27 | 0:20:29 | |
I've never really thought about leaving. Why would you move? | 0:20:29 | 0:20:32 | |
Ryan's family moved to Salford from Cardiff when he was six. | 0:20:32 | 0:20:36 | |
You walk down the wrong road, you get beat up | 0:20:36 | 0:20:39 | |
if they didn't recognise you. | 0:20:39 | 0:20:41 | |
-INTERVIEWER: -Did that ever happen? | 0:20:42 | 0:20:44 | |
No, I was quick. | 0:20:44 | 0:20:46 | |
The goals would be there, the goals would be there. | 0:20:48 | 0:20:51 | |
If I had a couple of mates then we'd just play 1-v-1 or 2-v-2 | 0:20:51 | 0:20:55 | |
and this would be the pitch. | 0:20:55 | 0:20:57 | |
-Yeah. Hi, you all right? -All right? -Yeah, good, yeah. | 0:20:58 | 0:21:02 | |
Ryan joined Manchester United on his 14th birthday. | 0:21:02 | 0:21:06 | |
Under-14 Salford boys, this is where we'd play our home games. | 0:21:06 | 0:21:09 | |
So just loads of memories here. | 0:21:09 | 0:21:11 | |
This is where Sir Alex first seen me play, along with Brian Kidd. | 0:21:11 | 0:21:17 | |
It would be nice, the links that we've got with Salford, | 0:21:17 | 0:21:21 | |
to give the people of Salford something to be proud of. | 0:21:21 | 0:21:25 | |
See that building there? | 0:21:25 | 0:21:27 | |
That used to be the only... | 0:21:27 | 0:21:29 | |
Well, that was state-of-the-art cinema, it's closed now. | 0:21:29 | 0:21:32 | |
Down here, just where... | 0:21:32 | 0:21:34 | |
Just behind this building here, that's where I used to get off the match bus, | 0:21:34 | 0:21:38 | |
run to the stadium, watch the game, | 0:21:38 | 0:21:42 | |
and just be home as quick as you can, really. | 0:21:42 | 0:21:44 | |
Get home for six o'clock and the A-Team, and burgers and chips. | 0:21:46 | 0:21:49 | |
Salford are just days away from their TV debut, | 0:21:52 | 0:21:55 | |
and the biggest match of their lives. | 0:21:55 | 0:21:58 | |
In the meantime, the team and managers concentrate | 0:21:58 | 0:22:01 | |
on their day jobs. | 0:22:01 | 0:22:02 | |
Steve Howson works shifts at a local plastics factory. | 0:22:02 | 0:22:06 | |
This goes on the back of carpets, the mats. | 0:22:06 | 0:22:09 | |
It's fire retardant, so it stops your carpets going up in flames. | 0:22:09 | 0:22:14 | |
Just come out of the way one sec, mate. | 0:22:14 | 0:22:16 | |
I'll come right up and you can see it, it's miles better. | 0:22:16 | 0:22:19 | |
Bernard has worked as a ceiling fitter for his dad | 0:22:19 | 0:22:21 | |
for the last 15 years. | 0:22:21 | 0:22:23 | |
I've left that a little bit short there, pal, | 0:22:23 | 0:22:25 | |
just in case we need to plumb that fucking corner. | 0:22:25 | 0:22:28 | |
When he left the army in 2002, Jonno took a job as a lorry driver. | 0:22:29 | 0:22:33 | |
Being in charge of a football club with my best mate | 0:22:34 | 0:22:38 | |
is chasing the dream. | 0:22:38 | 0:22:41 | |
When you work Monday to Friday doing what we do on average money, | 0:22:43 | 0:22:48 | |
bang average money, and the thought of being on... | 0:22:48 | 0:22:51 | |
Performing on TV for the boys, all the players, everyone at the club, | 0:22:51 | 0:22:55 | |
the management, you become heroes for a couple of week. | 0:22:55 | 0:22:58 | |
My workforce is between 60 and 100 workmen. | 0:22:58 | 0:23:00 | |
Come Monday if we've won, I'll be special. | 0:23:00 | 0:23:04 | |
It's the day before Salford face Notts County in the FA Cup. | 0:23:06 | 0:23:11 | |
Down at Moor Lane, the BBC's Match Of The Day team has arrived. | 0:23:11 | 0:23:14 | |
We've widened the gates for them and they still can't get them in. | 0:23:14 | 0:23:17 | |
The TV crew will be working with the 14 members of Salford's volunteer | 0:23:17 | 0:23:21 | |
committee who run the club. | 0:23:21 | 0:23:23 | |
They're all coming in now for the TV now, so you'll see how busy it gets now. | 0:23:23 | 0:23:27 | |
There's a lot of press here today. | 0:23:27 | 0:23:29 | |
It's getting very, very busy. | 0:23:29 | 0:23:31 | |
Bit of an eyesore at the moment with all of this, | 0:23:31 | 0:23:33 | |
but it'll look better tonight. | 0:23:33 | 0:23:36 | |
Too much to say. There you are, send her home like that. | 0:23:36 | 0:23:40 | |
The committee are preparing for a sell-out crowd at the 60-year-old ground. | 0:23:40 | 0:23:44 | |
As you can see, it's not the biggest of bars in the world. | 0:23:44 | 0:23:47 | |
It holds around 150, 200 at a push, | 0:23:47 | 0:23:49 | |
but we've had to put a temporary bar in the other end for Friday night. | 0:23:49 | 0:23:53 | |
So hopefully we can cater for everyone. | 0:23:53 | 0:23:55 | |
Even the pitch has been given a state-of-the-art rain cover. | 0:23:55 | 0:24:01 | |
Lovely, nice and firm, so we can tell everyone | 0:24:01 | 0:24:03 | |
the game's definitely on. | 0:24:03 | 0:24:05 | |
I am quite a competitive person. | 0:24:06 | 0:24:09 | |
I think being a bad loser makes you win more, doesn't it? | 0:24:09 | 0:24:13 | |
Ask Bernard and Jonno. | 0:24:13 | 0:24:15 | |
-Do you think you'll cry if you win? -Yeah, probably. -Will you? | 0:24:18 | 0:24:22 | |
-Cry?! -I think I might cry again, as well. | 0:24:22 | 0:24:24 | |
Bern'll cry, Bern's more of a crier than me. | 0:24:26 | 0:24:28 | |
-I'll have a breakdown. -If we win, the first thing I'll be doing is discussing bonuses. | 0:24:28 | 0:24:32 | |
Yeah, and leave me some money. | 0:24:32 | 0:24:34 | |
-I've got a broken boiler at home, just had a cold shower. -Jonno! -I promise. | 0:24:34 | 0:24:38 | |
-I need some new carpet. -We need, we need some... | 0:24:38 | 0:24:42 | |
-It's not about the money, it's about winning. -Yes, Jemma! | 0:24:42 | 0:24:47 | |
What a night we have in store, | 0:24:48 | 0:24:50 | |
it's Salford City of the Northern Premier League, Premier Division, | 0:24:50 | 0:24:54 | |
the seventh tier of the English game, taking on Notts County of League Two. | 0:24:54 | 0:24:58 | |
1,400 people have piled into the ground | 0:24:59 | 0:25:02 | |
for Salford's moment of glory. | 0:25:02 | 0:25:04 | |
And three of the club's owners have turned up to see if their team can make history. | 0:25:07 | 0:25:11 | |
We've got the biggest game playing Notts County at home. | 0:25:11 | 0:25:14 | |
We're very, very busy, we've not stopped since we got here | 0:25:14 | 0:25:20 | |
and I'm just trying my best to keep stocked up, keep everybody happy. | 0:25:20 | 0:25:24 | |
Because it's such a big game, I've got my daughter here working, | 0:25:24 | 0:25:27 | |
my niece working, this is my son who's come to see the game, | 0:25:27 | 0:25:31 | |
new bain-marie. | 0:25:31 | 0:25:35 | |
See, I'm not doing bad, am I? | 0:25:35 | 0:25:38 | |
Karen, how hard has it been for you to deal with | 0:25:38 | 0:25:41 | |
the five superstars who've been involved with this club? | 0:25:41 | 0:25:43 | |
They've been quite good, actually, they're easy to deal with. | 0:25:43 | 0:25:46 | |
Gary's the most demanding person you've ever met | 0:25:46 | 0:25:48 | |
but, apart from that, it's been good. | 0:25:48 | 0:25:50 | |
Yeah, they're all nice, normal, down-to-earth lads. | 0:25:50 | 0:25:52 | |
I believe, this is true, you were a little underwhelmed | 0:25:52 | 0:25:55 | |
when you first met Gary and Ryan. | 0:25:55 | 0:25:57 | |
Just explain why for those who don't know. | 0:25:57 | 0:25:59 | |
I'm a Liverpool fan. | 0:25:59 | 0:26:01 | |
-Do you like them at all? -Oh, no, they're great, yeah. | 0:26:01 | 0:26:05 | |
Three million people are watching on television tonight, | 0:26:05 | 0:26:08 | |
as the nation takes Salford City FC to its heart. | 0:26:08 | 0:26:11 | |
Salford, Salford, Salford! | 0:26:11 | 0:26:14 | |
Everyone wants to see if this part-time team | 0:26:14 | 0:26:16 | |
can become FA Cup heroes. | 0:26:16 | 0:26:19 | |
This is where it all starts. | 0:26:19 | 0:26:21 | |
Salford, bring it on. | 0:26:22 | 0:26:24 | |
It's a massive game for the club, you know, we're major, major underdogs. | 0:26:24 | 0:26:29 | |
I think they are, like, three or four leagues above us. They're expected to win. | 0:26:29 | 0:26:33 | |
I wish I were playing. | 0:26:33 | 0:26:36 | |
It's moments like this, you know, it's why I joined the club. | 0:26:36 | 0:26:40 | |
-COMMENTATOR: -The first time they have competed in the FA Cup first round. | 0:26:40 | 0:26:45 | |
It is Salford in the red and white and immediately the ball | 0:26:45 | 0:26:48 | |
is aimed towards Danny Webber. | 0:26:48 | 0:26:50 | |
The home game against Notts County was just huge. | 0:26:50 | 0:26:53 | |
At the back of your mind you're thinking, "Right, OK, | 0:26:53 | 0:26:56 | |
"you're against a league team, and it's live on TV, | 0:26:56 | 0:26:59 | |
"you could get a doing 4 or 5-0." | 0:26:59 | 0:27:01 | |
You know, that's always at the back of your mind. | 0:27:01 | 0:27:03 | |
-COMMENTATOR: -This is James Poole, the hero of the previous round. | 0:27:03 | 0:27:06 | |
You're also so excited and confident that, you know, you can do it. | 0:27:06 | 0:27:10 | |
I can't believe it. Three years ago, 47 we had on the ground, | 0:27:10 | 0:27:15 | |
I took £35, I think, through me turnstile. | 0:27:15 | 0:27:19 | |
Look at it now, 1,400. | 0:27:20 | 0:27:23 | |
We've never been down before, we live round the corner, | 0:27:23 | 0:27:26 | |
and we thought we'd come stick our heads over the fence. | 0:27:26 | 0:27:29 | |
Best seats in the house. | 0:27:29 | 0:27:31 | |
-COMMENTATOR: -Notts County to get us under way in the second half. | 0:27:31 | 0:27:35 | |
No changes from either manager, incidentally. | 0:27:35 | 0:27:37 | |
It's a massive game for us. | 0:27:37 | 0:27:39 | |
It's a massive game for the local community, as well. | 0:27:39 | 0:27:41 | |
As you see, a massive turnout. | 0:27:41 | 0:27:43 | |
-COMMENTATOR: -Here's straightaway James Poole, | 0:27:43 | 0:27:46 | |
curling towards the back post! | 0:27:46 | 0:27:48 | |
-COMMENTATOR: -Less than 20 seconds into the second half | 0:27:52 | 0:27:57 | |
and it could be a golden goal. | 0:27:57 | 0:28:00 | |
1-0 to Salford, should have been three. Easy. | 0:28:00 | 0:28:04 | |
They're all over them, aren't they? They've got all the possession. | 0:28:04 | 0:28:07 | |
-COMMENTATOR: -He's looking more apprehensive. | 0:28:07 | 0:28:09 | |
This is Richie Allen. Looking for some support, the substitute. | 0:28:09 | 0:28:15 | |
Oh, and he's beaten all three of them. | 0:28:15 | 0:28:19 | |
Allen again! Oh, what a goal! | 0:28:19 | 0:28:21 | |
Richie Allen, the substitute has doubled Salford City's advantage. | 0:28:23 | 0:28:30 | |
What an impact from the 29-year-old. | 0:28:30 | 0:28:34 | |
Final few seconds now. | 0:28:34 | 0:28:36 | |
A magical moment of history. | 0:28:36 | 0:28:38 | |
Wherever this Salford City story takes them, | 0:28:38 | 0:28:43 | |
this is a chapter they will never ever forget. | 0:28:43 | 0:28:46 | |
You've got to remember this moment from the rest of our lives. | 0:28:46 | 0:28:49 | |
Every time we come down here and there's 250, 300 people, | 0:28:49 | 0:28:52 | |
we've got to remember this moment. | 0:28:52 | 0:28:54 | |
-It's amazing. -Fucking hell, I'm ecstatic. | 0:28:54 | 0:28:57 | |
I'm not swearing, I'm not allowed to swear... | 0:28:57 | 0:28:59 | |
Absolutely fucking buzzing, mate. I'm delighted, honest. | 0:28:59 | 0:29:03 | |
I'll tell you what, I can't even believe it, quality, | 0:29:03 | 0:29:06 | |
great performance from all of the boys there. | 0:29:06 | 0:29:08 | |
That's next round, bring them on. | 0:29:08 | 0:29:10 | |
We're going to Wembley. Wembley! | 0:29:10 | 0:29:13 | |
# We're the famous Salford City and we're going to Wembley! | 0:29:13 | 0:29:16 | |
# Wembley! | 0:29:16 | 0:29:18 | |
# Wembley! # | 0:29:18 | 0:29:19 | |
I know it's an old cliche, but that's the magic of the FA Cup. | 0:29:19 | 0:29:23 | |
Really frustrating for me. I'm gutted, really. | 0:29:23 | 0:29:26 | |
I really... I really miss football. | 0:29:39 | 0:29:42 | |
I really miss the... | 0:29:42 | 0:29:44 | |
The, like, adrenaline. I thrive for that thrill. | 0:29:44 | 0:29:48 | |
You know, scoring a goal, that's all... | 0:29:48 | 0:29:51 | |
That's all I play football for at the minute. | 0:29:51 | 0:29:54 | |
My dream would just to be a footballer. | 0:29:56 | 0:29:58 | |
That's all I ever wanted to do, just make it as a professional, just... | 0:29:58 | 0:30:02 | |
I wanted to play on telly, | 0:30:03 | 0:30:06 | |
I wanted to have my name on my back when I was playing. | 0:30:06 | 0:30:10 | |
When I was, like, 25, I played in the First Division. | 0:30:11 | 0:30:15 | |
I was doing really well, then I ended up getting a blood disease. | 0:30:15 | 0:30:18 | |
I didn't play for two and a half years, I had to retire. | 0:30:18 | 0:30:22 | |
Physically got down to about 7st, couldn't eat. | 0:30:22 | 0:30:29 | |
At one point even the doctors didn't think I was going to live, | 0:30:29 | 0:30:32 | |
that's how serious it were, | 0:30:32 | 0:30:34 | |
that's how scary it was. | 0:30:34 | 0:30:36 | |
I never told my mum or my dad. | 0:30:38 | 0:30:40 | |
I told them that I'd had a knee operation, | 0:30:41 | 0:30:44 | |
so I had to stay down over Christmas. | 0:30:44 | 0:30:47 | |
And I remember just sat on Christmas Day, all the lights were off, | 0:30:47 | 0:30:52 | |
just sat on my own, just literally broke into tears, | 0:30:52 | 0:30:55 | |
just wondering what was going to happen to me. | 0:30:55 | 0:30:58 | |
It was just because I knew my dream were coming to an end. | 0:30:58 | 0:31:02 | |
Babs Gaskill lives with her husband five miles from the ground. | 0:31:12 | 0:31:19 | |
"Salford City Football was given a yellow card | 0:31:19 | 0:31:21 | |
"over the state of the club's kitchen | 0:31:21 | 0:31:23 | |
"after the warning from the inspector | 0:31:23 | 0:31:25 | |
"over the potential deadly E. coli." | 0:31:25 | 0:31:28 | |
A surprise visit to Moor Lane by Salford Council's food inspectors | 0:31:28 | 0:31:32 | |
has made headlines. | 0:31:32 | 0:31:34 | |
"The club was given a one-star... | 0:31:34 | 0:31:36 | |
"A possibility of... One out of five by the inspector, | 0:31:36 | 0:31:41 | |
"second lowest rating and told immediate work was needed | 0:31:41 | 0:31:44 | |
"in safeguarding customers from dangerous E. coli." | 0:31:44 | 0:31:48 | |
-INTERVIEWER: -What do you think of that? | 0:31:48 | 0:31:50 | |
I think that's a load of crap. | 0:31:50 | 0:31:51 | |
This is where the hard work starts. | 0:31:55 | 0:31:58 | |
So, I've got to read through this. | 0:32:04 | 0:32:06 | |
Allergies, and things like that, | 0:32:06 | 0:32:08 | |
obviously things with nuts and everything like that in... | 0:32:08 | 0:32:11 | |
When this paperwork gets done, | 0:32:11 | 0:32:14 | |
and they're going to come back, we'll see what star we get. | 0:32:14 | 0:32:17 | |
And if it's not a five, I will not be happy. | 0:32:17 | 0:32:21 | |
It's nothing to do with the food and the hygiene and all that, | 0:32:21 | 0:32:24 | |
it's to do with paperwork. | 0:32:24 | 0:32:26 | |
There was no rats, there was no mice. I put them in the cupboard(!) | 0:32:26 | 0:32:30 | |
Committee member and builder Jim Birtwistle | 0:32:35 | 0:32:38 | |
has been a Salford fan for 20 years. | 0:32:38 | 0:32:41 | |
After rebuilding the clubhouse at Moor Lane last season, | 0:32:41 | 0:32:44 | |
he's now renovating his new home out in the countryside. | 0:32:44 | 0:32:48 | |
There's no bathroom, there weren't when we bought it. | 0:32:48 | 0:32:50 | |
So I'm going to put a bathroom up here, a little box room there, | 0:32:50 | 0:32:54 | |
and this will be a big kitchen down here. | 0:32:54 | 0:32:57 | |
And away we go. | 0:32:57 | 0:32:58 | |
Jim's seen the club he loves change beyond recognition | 0:32:58 | 0:33:02 | |
since the new owners took over. | 0:33:02 | 0:33:04 | |
The crowds are getting big now. | 0:33:04 | 0:33:06 | |
Well, I've been on those gates on a Tuesday night, | 0:33:06 | 0:33:09 | |
and we've had 47 people in. | 0:33:09 | 0:33:12 | |
And then all of a sudden you're getting 1,300 on a Tuesday night. | 0:33:12 | 0:33:16 | |
I knew all them 47 by their first name - | 0:33:16 | 0:33:18 | |
I can't remember 1,300, though, now. No chance! | 0:33:18 | 0:33:22 | |
Do you want some on a small plate? | 0:33:22 | 0:33:24 | |
How's it changed, Dad? | 0:33:24 | 0:33:26 | |
It's changed fan-wise. | 0:33:26 | 0:33:30 | |
Yeah, there's a lot more that go now. | 0:33:30 | 0:33:32 | |
It's changed because we've got in four times what we used to get. | 0:33:32 | 0:33:35 | |
How long is it now that you've been doing it for? | 0:33:35 | 0:33:38 | |
I built the turnstiles in my... | 0:33:38 | 0:33:40 | |
When I was 40, you know? | 0:33:40 | 0:33:43 | |
That's 15 years ago. | 0:33:43 | 0:33:45 | |
I built the turnstiles them right on my 40th. | 0:33:45 | 0:33:49 | |
-Ryan Giggs were on. -Now you're best mates. | 0:33:49 | 0:33:53 | |
I never see him. | 0:33:53 | 0:33:55 | |
-RADIO: -BBC 5 Live. | 0:34:03 | 0:34:04 | |
Gary Neville has been appointed head coach of Valencia until the end of | 0:34:04 | 0:34:08 | |
this season. The former Manchester United and England defender's first | 0:34:08 | 0:34:11 | |
game in charge will be their Champions League tie | 0:34:11 | 0:34:14 | |
against Lyon next Wednesday. | 0:34:14 | 0:34:16 | |
Uno, dos, tres... | 0:34:16 | 0:34:20 | |
-Do you want to go? -Yeah. -Why should I go? | 0:34:20 | 0:34:23 | |
Because you can go in the swimming pool every day. | 0:34:24 | 0:34:30 | |
I was minding my own business, doing what I've been doing for the last few years, | 0:34:30 | 0:34:33 | |
then I got a phone call saying can I go over | 0:34:33 | 0:34:36 | |
and do the job for them until the end of the season? | 0:34:36 | 0:34:39 | |
-Will you miss school? -Yeah. -Will you miss any people? | 0:34:39 | 0:34:44 | |
-Ellie, Scarlet, Olivia. -Savanna. | 0:34:44 | 0:34:46 | |
I like to plan everything. | 0:34:46 | 0:34:48 | |
I think, from my point of view, this is the first time | 0:34:49 | 0:34:52 | |
where I've done something where it hasn't been planned, | 0:34:52 | 0:34:54 | |
but actually it feels right. | 0:34:54 | 0:34:56 | |
Can you come and translate for me? | 0:34:56 | 0:34:58 | |
Yeah, Mr Gary Neville has been appointed manager of Valencia... | 0:35:00 | 0:35:03 | |
..as from today, so I believe. | 0:35:05 | 0:35:07 | |
It won't make any difference. | 0:35:07 | 0:35:09 | |
I didn't know nothing about it, to be quite honest, | 0:35:09 | 0:35:11 | |
and it's come as a surprise to me, yeah. | 0:35:11 | 0:35:13 | |
We just don't see him here at the ground, that's all. | 0:35:13 | 0:35:16 | |
It'll still be all right. | 0:35:16 | 0:35:18 | |
We'll still run it. | 0:35:18 | 0:35:19 | |
I always said that at different points in the next | 0:35:19 | 0:35:23 | |
ten, 15 years, other people would have to step up to the plate | 0:35:23 | 0:35:26 | |
at different points. | 0:35:26 | 0:35:28 | |
'But that is why also we have the committee.' | 0:35:28 | 0:35:30 | |
It's why we have Karen, it's why we have Dave, the president, | 0:35:30 | 0:35:33 | |
it's why we have Bill and Jim, all the people that work there. | 0:35:33 | 0:35:36 | |
And Karen, at the head of it, is the big driving force. | 0:35:36 | 0:35:39 | |
The wettest December on record has given the committee | 0:35:40 | 0:35:44 | |
other things to worry about at Moor Lane. | 0:35:44 | 0:35:46 | |
Since the Notts County game here, it's never recovered. | 0:35:46 | 0:35:51 | |
Our own water feature. We need some ducks. | 0:35:53 | 0:35:55 | |
Three days after they appeared on Match Of The Day, | 0:36:02 | 0:36:06 | |
Salford's squad are back in training. | 0:36:06 | 0:36:08 | |
-15st. -15st, that's not bad. -15st. | 0:36:08 | 0:36:11 | |
Tell us about Saturday night, Jordy lad, anyway. | 0:36:12 | 0:36:15 | |
He's tried to buy the underwear Jordan was wearing | 0:36:15 | 0:36:19 | |
in the game on Friday on the telly. | 0:36:19 | 0:36:22 | |
Everyone else has been getting birds messaging them, | 0:36:22 | 0:36:25 | |
I've had a 30-year-old bloke message me asking if he can have my... | 0:36:25 | 0:36:30 | |
He called them briefs, that I was wearing for the game on Friday. | 0:36:30 | 0:36:36 | |
He said, "Preferably with a picture of you in them." | 0:36:36 | 0:36:39 | |
-Strange character. -I know this woman who makes a living out of wearing | 0:36:39 | 0:36:43 | |
knickers and bras and selling them on eBay. | 0:36:43 | 0:36:46 | |
We know somebody... | 0:36:46 | 0:36:48 | |
I shouldn't really let my mum's secrets out, | 0:36:48 | 0:36:51 | |
but she's not bothered. | 0:36:51 | 0:36:53 | |
Yeah, she'll make more money now. | 0:36:53 | 0:36:56 | |
# Money talks but it don't sing and dance | 0:37:04 | 0:37:09 | |
# And it don't walk | 0:37:09 | 0:37:13 | |
# As long as I can have you here with me | 0:37:13 | 0:37:17 | |
# I'd much rather be forever in blue jeans | 0:37:17 | 0:37:22 | |
# Money talks | 0:37:25 | 0:37:28 | |

# I'd much rather be... | 0:37:38 | 0:37:40 | |
# Forever in blue jeans. # | 0:37:40 | 0:37:43 | |
Against all the odds, Salford are through to the FA Cup's second round. | 0:37:43 | 0:37:47 | |
Now they face Hartlepool United, a team three leagues above them. | 0:37:47 | 0:37:52 | |
This is your last chance, there's no replay after this. | 0:37:52 | 0:37:54 | |
You've got fucking 90 minutes, maybe 120, and penalties. | 0:37:54 | 0:37:57 | |
Don't fucking let yourselves down, don't leave fuck all in here. | 0:37:57 | 0:38:00 | |
This is your reward, boys. You 11 have been picked for tonight, yeah? | 0:38:00 | 0:38:04 | |
It's not a fucking final, it doesn't have to end now, that's down to yous. | 0:38:04 | 0:38:07 | |
Go out and enjoy it and embrace what it is. | 0:38:07 | 0:38:09 | |
For the first time in three months, Seddon is fit to play, | 0:38:13 | 0:38:17 | |
but he's still on the bench. | 0:38:17 | 0:38:19 | |
It's going to be a tight game, isn't it? | 0:38:19 | 0:38:21 | |
Just keep it at 0-0, ten minutes to go | 0:38:21 | 0:38:24 | |
bring the big man on, | 0:38:24 | 0:38:26 | |
flash one in with my teeth, or something. | 0:38:26 | 0:38:29 | |
Salford! Salford! | 0:38:29 | 0:38:30 | |
Tonight's game will be televised, | 0:38:30 | 0:38:33 | |
and it's one they have to win to keep their FA Cup hopes alive. | 0:38:33 | 0:38:37 | |
It is a balmy Tuesday evening, | 0:38:37 | 0:38:39 | |
and a small pocket of people from Salford | 0:38:39 | 0:38:41 | |
have made the arduous journey to Hartlepool. | 0:38:41 | 0:38:45 | |
And I think we've edged it so far, we just need to get a goal. | 0:38:45 | 0:38:48 | |
-COMMENTATOR: -Salford City trying to ratchet things up | 0:38:48 | 0:38:51 | |
in the second half of this second round replay. | 0:38:51 | 0:38:55 | |
GASPING | 0:38:55 | 0:38:56 | |
-COMMENTATOR: -Oh, tried to curl one, it's kept out by Carson. | 0:38:56 | 0:39:01 | |
Hartlepool trying to click into gear. | 0:39:01 | 0:39:03 | |
They've been outplayed, out-thought in this replay. | 0:39:03 | 0:39:07 | |
CHANTING | 0:39:07 | 0:39:10 | |
Salford dominate against Hartlepool's professional side, | 0:39:11 | 0:39:15 | |
but they just can't score. | 0:39:15 | 0:39:17 | |
Fucking me a man. | 0:39:17 | 0:39:18 | |
Be a fucking monster out there for us. | 0:39:18 | 0:39:21 | |
In the 82nd minute, Jonno and Bernard bring Seddon on. | 0:39:21 | 0:39:25 | |
-COMMENTATOR: -Gareth Seddon, he tried one. | 0:39:27 | 0:39:29 | |
It was maybe a bit optimistic. | 0:39:29 | 0:39:32 | |
If we lost now, we'd absolutely murder them. | 0:39:32 | 0:39:35 | |
-COMMENTATOR: -Seddon, carries it forwards. | 0:39:35 | 0:39:37 | |
If they were to nick one now it would be absolutely gutting. | 0:39:37 | 0:39:40 | |
It's a better ball, Scott Fenwick... | 0:39:40 | 0:39:44 | |
Looks in position, there's the header! | 0:39:46 | 0:39:48 | |
There's the goal from Scott Fenwick! | 0:39:48 | 0:39:49 | |
Breakthrough for Hartlepool! | 0:39:49 | 0:39:52 | |
In the final minutes of the game, Hartlepool score twice. | 0:39:57 | 0:40:02 | |
Salford's FA Cup dream is over. | 0:40:02 | 0:40:05 | |
-COMMENTATOR: -But Anthony Johnson and Bernard Morley, | 0:40:05 | 0:40:08 | |
the co-managers, have every reason | 0:40:08 | 0:40:10 | |
to be delighted with the attitude shown by all the players, | 0:40:10 | 0:40:16 | |
all the men wearing red and white, | 0:40:16 | 0:40:18 | |
they've given so much, but they will go no further. | 0:40:18 | 0:40:22 | |
Devastated. Devastated for the team, for the boys, | 0:40:24 | 0:40:26 | |
the boys were brave, trying to get the win, | 0:40:26 | 0:40:29 | |
and unfortunately we got done on the break. | 0:40:29 | 0:40:31 | |
Go away and take stock of what you've achieved. | 0:40:31 | 0:40:34 | |
You've been clapped off by fucking 4,000 fans, not just our own. | 0:40:34 | 0:40:37 | |
You're a fucking... Everyone here is a credit to each other. | 0:40:37 | 0:40:41 | |
Enjoy it. All right? | 0:40:41 | 0:40:42 | |
We get our heads up and we go again, don't we? | 0:40:42 | 0:40:44 | |
-Well done, boys. -Well done, boys. -APPLAUSE | 0:40:44 | 0:40:46 | |
Devastated, to be honest with you. | 0:40:46 | 0:40:50 | |
I think they're lucky, very lucky. | 0:40:50 | 0:40:52 | |
Just got to pick ourselves up for Saturday, | 0:40:55 | 0:41:00 | |
training Thursday, concentrate on the league. | 0:41:00 | 0:41:05 | |
Thank you. | 0:41:15 | 0:41:16 | |
After the highs of the FA Cup, it's back to the daily grind. | 0:41:16 | 0:41:20 | |
The position is group finance director. | 0:41:20 | 0:41:23 | |
I oversee all the different offices, really, | 0:41:23 | 0:41:25 | |
the finances for all the offices. | 0:41:25 | 0:41:27 | |
None of us work for the love of it. | 0:41:33 | 0:41:34 | |
Well, I certainly don't. | 0:41:34 | 0:41:35 | |
I work to pay the bills and put food on the table for my family. | 0:41:35 | 0:41:41 | |
The ideal scenario is that we do this full-time, | 0:41:41 | 0:41:43 | |
but unfortunately that's not come yet, | 0:41:43 | 0:41:45 | |
so we've got to keep...head down and punching until we get there. | 0:41:45 | 0:41:50 | |
Bernard's now juggling work, football and his wedding, | 0:41:50 | 0:41:54 | |
which is just four months away. | 0:41:54 | 0:41:56 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:41:56 | 0:41:59 | |
You're not meant to laugh, Jemma. | 0:41:59 | 0:42:01 | |
Aw, you're cute. | 0:42:02 | 0:42:04 | |
Jemma, she sees me getting up at ten to five every morning, | 0:42:04 | 0:42:06 | |
saying the same thing, "I'm sick of this" - | 0:42:06 | 0:42:09 | |
you know, going to football... | 0:42:09 | 0:42:11 | |
Going to work with football on your mind, | 0:42:11 | 0:42:13 | |
instead of going to work with work on your mind. | 0:42:13 | 0:42:15 | |
That's not who I am. | 0:42:15 | 0:42:16 | |
I've started making mistakes at work, which I never used to do. | 0:42:16 | 0:42:20 | |
I used to be focused on just what I did at work. | 0:42:20 | 0:42:22 | |
Well, this is why it is getting tougher, love. | 0:42:22 | 0:42:24 | |
You'll probably have to cut your days down at work. | 0:42:24 | 0:42:26 | |
You can't carry on working the way you're working and doing football - | 0:42:26 | 0:42:29 | |
like you said, you're making mistakes. | 0:42:29 | 0:42:31 | |
-That's the sacrifice. -You're working too hard. | 0:42:31 | 0:42:34 | |
I'm working too hard cos I've got to pay for a wedding. | 0:42:34 | 0:42:37 | |
Don't talk crap. | 0:42:37 | 0:42:39 | |
It's January. | 0:42:43 | 0:42:45 | |
Gareth's back in the team, | 0:42:45 | 0:42:46 | |
and tonight he is getting ready for a league match | 0:42:46 | 0:42:49 | |
against Nantwich Town FC. | 0:42:49 | 0:42:51 | |
The friggin' lock's gone on the door. | 0:42:51 | 0:42:54 | |
My boots are downstairs. | 0:42:54 | 0:42:56 | |
It can only happen to me, this. | 0:42:56 | 0:42:58 | |
How do you get locked out of your own house? | 0:42:58 | 0:43:00 | |
It wouldn't have mattered if it had flipping happened yesterday - | 0:43:00 | 0:43:04 | |
it happens ten minutes before setting off for football. | 0:43:04 | 0:43:07 | |
I won't even know what to do, Gaz. | 0:43:07 | 0:43:10 | |
That's it, you play with the cat. | 0:43:10 | 0:43:12 | |
I don't get it! | 0:43:12 | 0:43:13 | |
Fuck's sake. | 0:43:13 | 0:43:15 | |
I'll have to borrow some boots, I think. | 0:43:15 | 0:43:18 | |
Not tell the gaffer. | 0:43:18 | 0:43:20 | |
Despite the excitement of their FA Cup run, | 0:43:25 | 0:43:28 | |
Salford's real focus now has to be on winning the league. | 0:43:28 | 0:43:32 | |
Only the first-place team wins automatic promotion. | 0:43:34 | 0:43:38 | |
Oh...! | 0:43:38 | 0:43:39 | |
Good effort. Good effort. | 0:43:39 | 0:43:41 | |
But by January, they're third from top. | 0:43:45 | 0:43:48 | |
The managers need Gareth Seddon to find his form | 0:43:51 | 0:43:54 | |
to keep promotion hopes alive. | 0:43:54 | 0:43:55 | |
CROWD GROANS | 0:43:57 | 0:43:59 | |
But their star can't find the net. | 0:43:59 | 0:44:01 | |
I haven't scored since before I was injured. | 0:44:01 | 0:44:03 | |
Five month. | 0:44:03 | 0:44:04 | |
That's five games I haven't scored. | 0:44:06 | 0:44:08 | |
Feeling a bit of pressure. It's getting to me. | 0:44:08 | 0:44:11 | |
I think about it every day - "I'm going to score Saturday." | 0:44:11 | 0:44:14 | |
Chairman Karen's arranged a call | 0:44:17 | 0:44:19 | |
with the managers and Gary Neville in Spain | 0:44:19 | 0:44:22 | |
to discuss plans to strengthen the squad. | 0:44:22 | 0:44:25 | |
Right, we're just talking about players | 0:44:25 | 0:44:26 | |
and whether we need anything for the rest of the season, really. | 0:44:26 | 0:44:30 | |
It's getting them, it's not that easy, | 0:44:56 | 0:44:58 | |
because we put bids in on one, didn't we, lads? | 0:44:58 | 0:45:00 | |
They just wanted silly money, they wanted double the money | 0:45:00 | 0:45:02 | |
cos it's us, that's the problem. | 0:45:02 | 0:45:04 | |
He's right, we don't mind spending it if they're worth it, | 0:45:04 | 0:45:07 | |
but not doubling it up if they're not, so... | 0:45:07 | 0:45:09 | |
We just can't sign a player for love nor money. | 0:45:09 | 0:45:12 | |
We have a responsibility to our club to improve, | 0:45:12 | 0:45:14 | |
but we also have a responsibility to ourselves not to have, | 0:45:14 | 0:45:17 | |
if you like, the mickey taken out of us | 0:45:17 | 0:45:20 | |
to the point where we are just basically being used as a cash cow | 0:45:20 | 0:45:23 | |
for other clubs, or players, | 0:45:23 | 0:45:24 | |
and because we can't strengthen at this moment in time, | 0:45:24 | 0:45:27 | |
because no-one will do business with us, | 0:45:27 | 0:45:29 | |
and nobody will give us a player, then we've got we've got. | 0:45:29 | 0:45:32 | |
If we get any injuries, sendings off, we're struggling. | 0:45:32 | 0:45:35 | |
I'll be 56 this year. | 0:45:47 | 0:45:51 | |
56 in May. | 0:45:51 | 0:45:53 | |
I mean, how this started was my husband taking the kids up | 0:45:53 | 0:45:56 | |
when they was little - "Come up and watch a game." | 0:45:56 | 0:46:01 | |
And then when the people finished who used to do it, you know, | 0:46:01 | 0:46:06 | |
"Can you just help out?" | 0:46:06 | 0:46:07 | |
And that's what it's been since. | 0:46:07 | 0:46:09 | |
My day job is I am a machinist. | 0:46:09 | 0:46:12 | |
I do 39 hours. | 0:46:12 | 0:46:14 | |
Some nights I don't get home until quarter to six. | 0:46:14 | 0:46:17 | |
Then I come home and make the tea. | 0:46:19 | 0:46:22 | |
Go to my mother-in-law three times a week, | 0:46:22 | 0:46:25 | |
make sure she's all right, and she's got everything, you know, | 0:46:25 | 0:46:29 | |
she's getting looked after. | 0:46:29 | 0:46:31 | |
I look after the football... | 0:46:31 | 0:46:33 | |
All in a day's work. | 0:46:33 | 0:46:35 | |
If she wasn't busy already, | 0:46:35 | 0:46:37 | |
her one-star review has landed Babs with extra homework. | 0:46:37 | 0:46:41 | |
"All the kitchens are cleaned?" | 0:46:41 | 0:46:43 | |
Yes. "All the structures." | 0:46:43 | 0:46:45 | |
"Everything's clean and tidied away." Yes. | 0:46:45 | 0:46:48 | |
Never had to do this before. | 0:46:48 | 0:46:49 | |
What they want to see is that I'm doing a record of every game. | 0:46:49 | 0:46:54 | |
Temperatures, things like that. | 0:46:54 | 0:46:57 | |
Now, this is a voluntary job. | 0:46:57 | 0:46:58 | |
I don't get paid, never been paid, | 0:46:59 | 0:47:03 | |
but this is what you have to do now. | 0:47:03 | 0:47:06 | |
10pm, Wednesday. | 0:47:13 | 0:47:14 | |
Karen's on the phone to Jonno. | 0:47:14 | 0:47:17 | |
-Hello? -Hi, chick, you OK? | 0:47:19 | 0:47:21 | |
Yeah, you? | 0:47:21 | 0:47:23 | |
Yeah. How hard is it to sign a player? | 0:47:23 | 0:47:25 | |
You tell me. Is it done? | 0:47:25 | 0:47:28 | |
-Yeah, done. -Is it? | 0:47:28 | 0:47:30 | |
Yeah, they've agreed now, | 0:47:30 | 0:47:31 | |
they've come back to the original one. | 0:47:31 | 0:47:33 | |
I said no and they've come back and said yes now. | 0:47:33 | 0:47:35 | |
Brilliant. That's great news, that, boss. | 0:47:35 | 0:47:37 | |
-Thank you very much. -All right. | 0:47:37 | 0:47:39 | |
-Speak to you in the morning. -See you. -Bye. | 0:47:39 | 0:47:41 | |
Karen's signed Josh Hine, | 0:47:41 | 0:47:43 | |
the top goal-scorer from the league above. | 0:47:43 | 0:47:45 | |
She's hoping he'll sharpen Salford's attack. | 0:47:45 | 0:47:49 | |
-Hiya. -Hiya, Karen, you all right? -Yeah, you? | 0:47:55 | 0:47:58 | |
-Has it all gone through? -Yeah. | 0:47:58 | 0:48:00 | |
Yeah, we eventually did the deal last night. | 0:48:00 | 0:48:02 | |
They came back and asked for more money during their meeting. | 0:48:02 | 0:48:05 | |
But we went back and said no, and about an hour later, | 0:48:05 | 0:48:08 | |
they came back and accepted it, | 0:48:08 | 0:48:10 | |
so we got him signed up at about one o'clock in the morning | 0:48:10 | 0:48:13 | |
by the time we'd finished. | 0:48:13 | 0:48:14 | |
-Was it late? -Yeah, it's fine, and it's gone to the FA. | 0:48:14 | 0:48:16 | |
How old is Josh Hine? | 0:48:16 | 0:48:18 | |
He's 24. | 0:48:18 | 0:48:20 | |
Brilliant, okey-doke. | 0:48:20 | 0:48:21 | |
-Cheers, Karen. -All right. Thanks, Paul. | 0:48:21 | 0:48:23 | |
See you later. Bye. | 0:48:23 | 0:48:25 | |
-Oh, thanks, love. -There you are, Mum. | 0:48:30 | 0:48:32 | |
What brings you over here, anyway? | 0:48:32 | 0:48:34 | |
I don't get chance to see you much, do I? So... | 0:48:34 | 0:48:36 | |
-I know. Busy, busy. -Yeah. | 0:48:36 | 0:48:39 | |
Fred was saying they've got a new striker signed. | 0:48:39 | 0:48:42 | |
I know, yeah - young blood coming through, innit? | 0:48:42 | 0:48:45 | |
And you're kind of pushing out the old guys, that's the... | 0:48:45 | 0:48:47 | |
-Is that how you feel? -That's how I feel, yeah. | 0:48:47 | 0:48:50 | |
It's kind of... That's football, innit? | 0:48:50 | 0:48:52 | |
I did it - I did it 15 years ago to somebody else, | 0:48:52 | 0:48:55 | |
so I've got expect someone to be doing that to me. | 0:48:55 | 0:48:57 | |
But I'll score today and everything will be forgotten, it'll be fine. | 0:48:57 | 0:49:01 | |
You've not had any modelling for a bit? | 0:49:01 | 0:49:03 | |
Yeah, I've been doing all right, actually. | 0:49:03 | 0:49:05 | |
-I did Attitude magazine. -Oh. | 0:49:05 | 0:49:09 | |
A gay magazine. | 0:49:09 | 0:49:10 | |
I suppose it doesn't really matter - work's work, isn't it? | 0:49:10 | 0:49:13 | |
Yeah, well, the guys were really good, as well. | 0:49:13 | 0:49:16 | |
They did some really good pictures. | 0:49:16 | 0:49:18 | |
Are they gay that run it? | 0:49:18 | 0:49:20 | |
I don't think so. | 0:49:20 | 0:49:21 | |
I don't think so. I didn't ask. | 0:49:21 | 0:49:23 | |
You can usually tell, can't you? | 0:49:23 | 0:49:25 | |
Well, yeah, when we were kissing. | 0:49:25 | 0:49:28 | |
When we were having a snog. | 0:49:28 | 0:49:29 | |
What's your mother told you about kissing strange men? | 0:49:29 | 0:49:32 | |
Late January. | 0:49:38 | 0:49:40 | |
Today Salford play mid-table Buxton. | 0:49:40 | 0:49:44 | |
Signed Josh Hine from Chorley. | 0:49:44 | 0:49:47 | |
He's chomping at the bit to get started and get involved. | 0:49:47 | 0:49:49 | |
In terms of the other forwards, if players are not performing, | 0:49:49 | 0:49:52 | |
they're not scoring, which Sedds isn't at this time, | 0:49:52 | 0:49:55 | |
they've got to fear for your place, that's the nature of the beast. | 0:49:55 | 0:49:58 | |
You're paid to score goals, and if they're not doing it, | 0:49:58 | 0:50:00 | |
then the players could be under question. | 0:50:00 | 0:50:03 | |
A few changes to the team, boys. | 0:50:13 | 0:50:15 | |
Jay in goal. Evvo right-back. | 0:50:17 | 0:50:19 | |
Halley left-back. Lynchy and Halsy. | 0:50:19 | 0:50:22 | |
Gaz, you're in the middle. | 0:50:22 | 0:50:25 | |
JJ, Pooley, Jordan and Josh. | 0:50:25 | 0:50:28 | |
That leaves Webbs, Sedds, Clarkey, Dorse and...Joey on the bench. | 0:50:28 | 0:50:35 | |
OK? Get stripped. | 0:50:35 | 0:50:38 | |
Josh, put nine on. | 0:50:38 | 0:50:39 | |
Obviously we've left Gaz Seddon out today. | 0:50:39 | 0:50:43 | |
Not for his performances, cos, you know, | 0:50:43 | 0:50:45 | |
he's done all right the last four games, | 0:50:45 | 0:50:47 | |
getting himself back to fitness, but obviously it's important | 0:50:47 | 0:50:49 | |
that out of our five centre forwards, stroke six, | 0:50:49 | 0:50:52 | |
we're scoring - unfortunately for Gareth, | 0:50:52 | 0:50:54 | |
he's not scored for the last four games. | 0:50:54 | 0:50:56 | |
It's only right he comes out today and gives somebody else a chance | 0:50:56 | 0:50:59 | |
to obviously score goals. | 0:50:59 | 0:51:00 | |
Josh Hine will be taking Seddon's place. | 0:51:00 | 0:51:03 | |
Can't believe it - had my hair cut especially and I'm dropped. | 0:51:03 | 0:51:05 | |
Happy new haircut, eh? Fuming. | 0:51:07 | 0:51:10 | |
Get the ball. | 0:51:11 | 0:51:12 | |
Scott! Gaz! | 0:51:12 | 0:51:14 | |
Salford are in red. | 0:51:14 | 0:51:17 | |
-Well done, Josh. -CROWD: Salford! Salford! Salford! | 0:51:19 | 0:51:22 | |
Go on, Josh. | 0:51:22 | 0:51:24 | |
Just before half-time, Josh Hine, in the number nine shirt, | 0:51:26 | 0:51:30 | |
proves his worth. | 0:51:30 | 0:51:32 | |
CHEERING | 0:51:32 | 0:51:33 | |
Get in there, son. What a player. | 0:51:33 | 0:51:37 | |
The goal helps Salford to three vital points. | 0:51:39 | 0:51:42 | |
They're now second in the league. | 0:51:42 | 0:51:44 | |
It's winding me up. | 0:51:49 | 0:51:51 | |
I can't argue with the managers, it's their choice, their opinion, | 0:51:51 | 0:51:54 | |
that's what they get paid for, so... | 0:51:54 | 0:51:56 | |
But...it's just shit. | 0:51:56 | 0:51:58 | |
Saturday, early February. | 0:52:06 | 0:52:08 | |
It's ten weeks till Jemma and Bernard's big day. | 0:52:08 | 0:52:11 | |
See you, Halley, be a good girl. | 0:52:13 | 0:52:14 | |
And this morning, Bernard has got an appointment | 0:52:14 | 0:52:17 | |
at the wedding outfitters. | 0:52:17 | 0:52:18 | |
Quite a lot at stake today. | 0:52:18 | 0:52:21 | |
Got to pick the right suit and got to get the right result. | 0:52:21 | 0:52:23 | |
This afternoon, Salford face archrivals Darlington. | 0:52:23 | 0:52:27 | |
That's my favourite. | 0:52:27 | 0:52:28 | |
What am I, waist-wise? I've only got to be a 34, me. | 0:52:28 | 0:52:31 | |
-I'll just have to do this. -HE GASPS | 0:52:31 | 0:52:33 | |
I didn't think marriage, but settling down, yeah. | 0:52:33 | 0:52:36 | |
-Do you remember your first date? -Date? I've never been on a date. | 0:52:36 | 0:52:40 | |
Jemma's my first, that's the first girlfriend I've ever had. | 0:52:41 | 0:52:44 | |
To be honest with you, it run smoothly. | 0:52:44 | 0:52:46 | |
I just want her to have the same name as me. | 0:52:46 | 0:52:49 | |
If she's a Morley, she'll be hated, as well. | 0:52:49 | 0:52:53 | |
He's scrubbed up quite well. | 0:52:53 | 0:52:54 | |
The only time Jonno usually wears suits is to go to court. | 0:52:54 | 0:52:59 | |
You know, as much as she says she doesn't like football, | 0:53:00 | 0:53:02 | |
she's absolutely loved it. | 0:53:02 | 0:53:04 | |
I mean, on her wedding day, she's wearing a Salford City shirt, | 0:53:04 | 0:53:07 | |
which I didn't know she would. | 0:53:07 | 0:53:09 | |
She just...she makes an effort. | 0:53:09 | 0:53:11 | |
It sort of, like, sums up what we are all about. | 0:53:11 | 0:53:15 | |
Across town, Jemma's taken Louise, her chief bridesmaid, | 0:53:20 | 0:53:24 | |
along to her final fitting. | 0:53:24 | 0:53:27 | |
I've had it altered, so we'll see if it still fits me. | 0:53:27 | 0:53:31 | |
But they're distracted by events at Moor Lane. | 0:53:31 | 0:53:35 | |
Salford City are playing Darlington. | 0:53:35 | 0:53:37 | |
As far as I know. | 0:53:37 | 0:53:39 | |
It's a very tense game. | 0:53:39 | 0:53:40 | |
-Oh! 1-0, Salford. -Yes! | 0:53:40 | 0:53:44 | |
We need the points to potentially win the league, | 0:53:45 | 0:53:49 | |
so it's very important. | 0:53:49 | 0:53:51 | |
-2-0! -Already? -Yeah. -When did they kick off? | 0:53:51 | 0:53:53 | |
Three o'clock. Half an hour. | 0:53:53 | 0:53:55 | |
Oh, he'll be buzzing. Bless him. | 0:53:55 | 0:53:58 | |
I love it. I'm not bored of trying it on. | 0:54:11 | 0:54:15 | |
You've done amazing, losing all your weight and everything. You look fab. | 0:54:15 | 0:54:18 | |
Bernard's a lucky man, isn't he? | 0:54:18 | 0:54:20 | |
Football's more important to him. | 0:54:20 | 0:54:23 | |
Definitely more important. | 0:54:23 | 0:54:25 | |
I would like to think I was number one, | 0:54:25 | 0:54:27 | |
but I know I'm not. | 0:54:27 | 0:54:28 | |
SHOUTING | 0:54:32 | 0:54:34 | |
At Moor Lane, the mood is bitter. | 0:54:40 | 0:54:43 | |
Police and stewards are having to keep rival fans apart. | 0:54:47 | 0:54:50 | |
By half-time, Salford are 2-0 up. | 0:54:52 | 0:54:54 | |
They've come here today with a game plan, | 0:54:55 | 0:54:57 | |
they've changed what's got them to where they have, | 0:54:57 | 0:54:59 | |
and you hit them head-on. | 0:54:59 | 0:55:01 | |
Could have been four or five, if I'm honest, yeah? | 0:55:01 | 0:55:03 | |
If I'm honest, it could have been. | 0:55:03 | 0:55:04 | |
Pat yourselves on the back for that. | 0:55:04 | 0:55:06 | |
Boys, for 40 minutes, it's the perfect half, isn't it? | 0:55:06 | 0:55:09 | |
JEERING | 0:55:09 | 0:55:11 | |
Over at the bar, Babs is coming out fighting, too, | 0:55:13 | 0:55:16 | |
after another surprise visit from the food inspectors. | 0:55:16 | 0:55:19 | |
They said one star to me in the papers. | 0:55:19 | 0:55:22 | |
Tell the papers to look at that, all right? | 0:55:22 | 0:55:27 | |
Tell them to shove that there, in the paper. | 0:55:27 | 0:55:31 | |
-Five stars! Five stars! -Thank you. | 0:55:31 | 0:55:32 | |
In just three months, Babs has gone from one star to five. | 0:55:32 | 0:55:35 | |
At the start of the second half, | 0:55:36 | 0:55:38 | |
Darlington, in white, go on the attack. | 0:55:38 | 0:55:41 | |
CHEERING AND YELLING | 0:55:42 | 0:55:45 | |
He's scoring a fucking goal! What are you fucking doing? | 0:55:45 | 0:55:50 | |
Salford score a third, but within minutes, | 0:55:54 | 0:55:57 | |
Darlington strike again for a second. | 0:55:57 | 0:56:00 | |
WILD CHEERING | 0:56:02 | 0:56:05 | |
Then another to equalise. | 0:56:08 | 0:56:10 | |
They've just scored, right? | 0:56:12 | 0:56:13 | |
So it's 3-3, Salford are going to get one more now before we finish, | 0:56:13 | 0:56:18 | |
that's what I reckon. | 0:56:18 | 0:56:19 | |
In the dying minutes of the game, a free kick brings the final twist. | 0:56:25 | 0:56:29 | |
It's 4-3 to Darlington. | 0:56:31 | 0:56:33 | |
FINAL WHISTLE BLOWS | 0:56:33 | 0:56:35 | |
Darlington's victory takes them to second place in the table | 0:56:37 | 0:56:41 | |
as Salford crash down to fourth. | 0:56:41 | 0:56:44 | |
Winning the league now looks impossible. | 0:56:47 | 0:56:49 | |
How can you go from being fucking so dominant in 45 minutes | 0:56:53 | 0:56:57 | |
to fucking car crash? | 0:56:57 | 0:56:58 | |
It is shit. Collectively, we was a shambles the second half. | 0:57:00 | 0:57:04 | |
It's not fucking acceptable, boys. | 0:57:04 | 0:57:06 | |
And I fucking hate getting like this, | 0:57:06 | 0:57:08 | |
but I'm all heart. | 0:57:08 | 0:57:10 | |
I fucking back every one of your corners. | 0:57:10 | 0:57:12 | |
After the game, Jonno sent me a message. | 0:57:12 | 0:57:15 | |
I think he even said, | 0:57:17 | 0:57:19 | |
"If I was a board member, I would be thinking about sacking us today." | 0:57:19 | 0:57:23 | |
Trouble, trouble... | 0:57:31 | 0:57:33 | |
Salford City hit an all-time low. | 0:57:33 | 0:57:35 | |
This is when you need to be strong managers, | 0:57:35 | 0:57:37 | |
cos it's the first real bad spell you've had. | 0:57:37 | 0:57:39 | |
As the team suffer another shock defeat... | 0:57:39 | 0:57:42 | |
I can't remember the last time we played that badly. | 0:57:42 | 0:57:44 | |
I'm fucking embarrassed. | 0:57:44 | 0:57:46 | |
Take your fucking gear off, mate, you're coming off. | 0:57:46 | 0:57:48 | |
..their chances of promotion look desperate. | 0:57:48 | 0:57:51 | |
At this moment, will we go up? | 0:57:51 | 0:57:53 | |
You'd have to say it's 70/30 against. | 0:57:53 | 0:57:55 | |
One, two. | 0:57:55 | 0:57:57 | |
If Jonno starts to be better than me, | 0:57:57 | 0:57:58 | |
I'll throw the towel in. | 0:57:58 | 0:58:00 | |
As life off the pitch piles on the pressure... | 0:58:00 | 0:58:02 | |
-Can we talk about the wedding, please? -Sorry. | 0:58:02 | 0:58:04 | |
..the managers reach breaking point. | 0:58:04 | 0:58:07 | |
I put up with a lot of shit, not that. | 0:58:07 | 0:58:09 | |
That is fucking under-5s shit. | 0:58:09 | 0:58:11 | |
Can the class of '92 turn it around? | 0:58:11 | 0:58:13 | |
In moments like this, you feel helpless. | 0:58:13 | 0:58:16 | |
Or is the fairy tale over? | 0:58:16 | 0:58:18 | |
If it goes tits up, we're going to be a laughing stock, aren't we? | 0:58:18 | 0:58:21 |
