Season 1987/88 Episode 8 - English Football's Aesthetic Peak?

Sir Tom Finney described the 5-0 demolition of Nottingham Forest "one of the finest exhibitions of football" he had ever seen in his life and one that "will never be bettered".

After only their second barren season in twelve years, Liverpool roared back to the top of English football with a style and elan that has arguably never been bettered. Aidan Williams joins Martyn to revisit a blistering campaign in a strange 21-team division as well as discussing Gazza's big breakout season, Fergie's first challenge, a controversial managerial change at White Hart Lane and a Chelsea relegation with accompanying rioting.
