5 of 12 - Good fly on the wall type doco by Kevin Allen of an England fan's eye view of the 1990 FIFA World Cup Finals in Italy ... traveling only with his camcorder for the BBC series Video Diaries, in an episode entitled 'On The March With Bobby's Army', this captures what it was like to follow England abroad during a period when English clubs were still banned from Europe and with a reputation for hooliganism. First aired on BBC 2 in 1991.

What a great guy Gino is. Such a nice gesture by the England fans towards him. Well done lads, fair play. Not paying their bills for staying there isn’t so good though. I can’t abide things like that. He’s right about the drinking as well.
