The bit where Lou was being interviewed on the pitch and Nello rocked up in the tartan had me and the misses in absolute stitches, brilliant, beautiful programme. Always loved Lou, but jug ears has shot up in my estimation! Where is that interview on the pitch available? My kids were in stitches and thought it must have been edited! Lou has always been a God in my eyes (I once kissed him) but after watching that tonight he's gone up even further in my estimation

Someone also put it on YouTube in full

Ivan Gaskell cracking up and Lou. must dig it out

Just watched it - it was fantastic.
I remember a few years back that Neil Baldwin FC had reached a point where the official Keele team didn't have enough players turning up to training to actually field a team - all the football minded Keele students had signed up for NBFC instead.

I know his Dad is the great Freddie Jones, but Toby does not have a Stoke accent, and I reckon that was about the only actor or even impressionist I have ever heard that has come close to getting it right. Brilliant performance from him, not an easy job when the person you are playing is sitting next to you. It also proves you don't need fancy CGI to make a great film, real people getting on with their lives filled with humour and sadness,their story brought to the screen by a talented film maker. As for Nello, if he wasn't already, he certainly is now...a Stoke City Legend. I also think it showed a side of Lou I wasn't really aware of, he comes across as a pretty decent human being.

Really looked forwards to it...and it was brilliant.
Best thing I seen on TV (baring sport) for at leas 5 years. Maybe longer. A lot longer. My two eldest lads watched bits of it - but have requested to watch it from start to finish with me - no problem watching it again from my point of view! My Mrs really enjoyed it too - and she hates football (even sat there reading a book at Wembley for the Auto Windshield final!) Had told her 4 stories about Nello: 1) the testimonial and Tony Kelly being the only one who tried to stop him scoring 2) his bird outfit (seem to remember him at Bournemouth or was it Oxford) 3) that interview! Still have the VHS somewhere 4) only taking the studded boots to Barnsley on boxing day when we played on a pitch of ice. Think that was maybe his only faux par? But you're forgiven Nello!
Laughed many times, and had a tier in my eye for much of it. Excellent film making. Excellent. In fact it was Marvellous.
(Oh, and I assume that Malcolm was Malcolm Clark?)

Just brilliant.
Everyone involved deserves massive credit.
Lou Macari, SCFC legend.
Nello, Legend and inspiration for everyone.
Proud to be a Stokie.

It isn't the bbc's job to promote Stoke City they have done an excellent job
The club could learn a thing or two
Best thing I've watched on normal tv in years

Would love to see it.
Living abroad means I couldn't and BBC i-player doesn't work overseas either.
Would someone please find a way of posting it on Youtube?

I think we need to get Nello and Malcolm on the pitch at half time on Monday night. Let's give both of these wonderful characters the ovation and admiration they deserve.
If anyone from the club is reading, make this happen.

Really enjoyed that.
Despite what we've achieved these last few years Lou Macari will always be my favourite Stoke City manager.

Top notch TV about a top notch guy. I swear at a few points a draught blew some dust in my eye, and that's my story to which I am sticking! If this doesn't win a slew of awards then there's something wrong, Toby Jones alone deserves a BAFTA for his portrayal of Nello.
Be great if Marvellous was the real World's equivalent of Bill & Ted's 'Wild Stallyns moment'.

It's not just stoke fans that loved it either...I've had a peep on other football forums and lots of other footy fans highly rated it too. Won't have done Stoke City any harm that.
Even the vale fans thought their mention was funny!

As an ex-keele student, and someone who attended Baldwins football group, it was hard to deal with all the nostalgia.
Cracking bloke, and a fantastic program.

Was about to post the same thing. Nello, Malcolm Clarke and Lou on the pitch at half time so we can give them our appreciation, would not be difficult to arrange. Nello and Malcolm will be there anyway and Lou lives less than 2 miles away and Man Utd are not playing that evening so he should, hopefully, be free. Let's Do It!
