Summary: The entire history of the world's favorite game? It's an extraordinary challenge that could go have gone horribly wrong, but "History Of Football - The Beautiful Game" is a class act. It boasts top-drawer production values, including narration by Terence Stamp, access to everybody who has really mattered in the game, ever, plus loads of famous, rare, and never-seen-before footage, each volume offering a blend of narrative, action, and illuminating interviews. This is a polished product - part celebration, part commemoration, but always with a sharp investigative sense, digging around the misty-eyed, good ol' days tradition, to explore in the company of those interviewed the reality behind some of soccer's myths and legends.

Season 1 - Episode 13: Futures
Air Date: October 5th, 2002
Summary: What does the future hold for football? Will it remain the dominant sport? This episode looks at the continued growth in countries such as China, India, the Middle East, Korea and Japan, all hugely populated areas with a hunger for football. The evidence shows that although the sport is currently dominated by Europe and South America, maybe one day the powerhouses of world football may come from Asia. As for the National Soccer League here in Australia, which is not covered, well we live in hope. Optimism after all is a prerequisite of being a football fan.
