The technicians’ strike is over and football returns to ITV, with the regional shows back in full swing.

The Tottenham Hotspur commercial department pull out all the stops to welcome back Brian Moore and The Big Match. We are treated to a glorious bit of route one football from Glenn Hoddle, there’s a new entry into Kenny Burns corner, a remarkable miss from Garry Birtles and Ricky Villa goes into the headmaster’s office as Terry Yorath advises him to stick an exercise book down his trousers.

In a bonus, we also dissect Aston Villa’s trip to a half finished Molineux, Andy Gray coming up against his old employers and desperate to put one past them and then wring the neck of a celebration. Does he manage it? Catch up with the action here.
