For the first time Ant McGinley and Jim Salveson host the show together as they look back over almost 300 episodes of soccer silliness. It also features a special introduction by Sir David Attenborough, who pays tribute to the impact the show has had on the people of planet Earth.

As a result, Watford issue an apology and we learn the secrets behind how the Villa go about signing players. Even that isn't enough to cheer Roy Keane up. Across the road, Birmingham City retire Jude Billingham's shirt number after only 44 games, as if by design we retire this show after 5 years and nearly 300 episodes.
