I think that's the first time I've seen an image of it from that angle. Usually this is the one:

Didn't seem that important really. Just a bit of re-branding and a bit of money going into the game. There was talk about it being 'game changing' or whatever cliche we used in those days but I don't think anyone expected it to be like it is now, a virtual closed shop for all but the wealthiest and the most fortunate.was thinking 25 yrs of premier league, i was too young as i mentioned above was just turned 2 when deano scored the 1st premier league go. so was curious at what people thought in 1992, to the people who were around for the 1st game & probally months of build up before if you can remember
when we broke away from the 1st division to participate in new premier league. what did you think at the time to this new premier league. were you glad of the change, was it much needed or did you want to stick with 103 year history of 1st division being the top tier of English football
Beesley captained the side alongside the on-loan McLeary due to Brian Gayle being suspended – not because he was sent off at the end of the previous season, but because he was sent off for head-butting a Forfar player in a pre-season friendly.
I also was surprised how "chunky" Mike Lake looked too.. I do remember him quite well, particularly for scoring an absolute screamer against Forest at their place.

Is it possible to convert it from skybox to mp4 or whatever?Any chance someone could do me a copy?
Dirty fucker though. Mind you so was Hughes and a bit of a coward watching that game. Taking out Gannon, our smallest player. He fully deserved the treatment he got from our players in other games.Alan Cork didn't have many fans but watching the match you can see how defenders hate playing against him. He may lack pace but had a very good footballing brain. He was always aggressive, can find space to play a deft back header to his strike partner. I remember Deane speaking highly of him
I recall him booting Tuttle up the arse in the Cup game the season after as well.Dirty fucker though. Mind you so was Hughes and a bit of a coward watching that game. Taking out Gannon, our smallest player. He fully deserved the treatment he got from our players in other games.

I used to use this - not sure if it still works but worth checking out
That worked a treat, thanks.
I've got the whole programme in MP4 format (1.2GB) if you want it WalthamstowBlade.
Maybe I could email it to you or something.

Sky won the contract mainly because Alan Sugar leaked details of the FL meetings to them and advised them to make a better offer than ITV. His company. Amstrad were providers of Sky dishesI mainly remember it meaning better exposure on telly - 2 live games a week promised by Sky and a whole host of other programmes linked to the PL, think originally was 60 games a year.
BBC won the highlights package which meant a return to Match of the Day to our screens.
To compare what it was like the previous year the only live football was 'The Match' presented by Elton Welsby on ITV who showed around 18 live games a season between October and March and the only highlights were regional.

If Alan Sugar wasnt a 1st division football club chairman then Sky wouldnt know the details of ITV's offer.Would have thought they offered more money as well?
I'll be honest at that time I thought it was a good thing as liked watching footy on telly mind you I was a virgin back then!
If Alan Sugar wasnt a 1st division football club chairman then Sky wouldnt know the details of ITV's offer.
The deadline for bids were nearing at it seemed ITV were going to win the bid so Alan Sugar went on the phone to Sky advising them to make a last hour bid. Sky then knew how much ITV offered so they offered a bit more. If Alan Sugar had not made that phone call then Sky maybe wouldn't be as powerful as it is nowadays (they might have folded in a few years time??) and maybe there would have been less money in the PLAh fair enough
I vaguely recall sky been able to dedicate more games and time given they had dedicated sports channels whereas footy on itv might have suffered so Bullseye could be shown on time!
That and Elton Welsby was a shit presenter.
ITV THE match was shit.

Yes, his company Amstrad provided the Sky dishes. Sky winning the contract was very good news for Amstrad and their share prices then shot upAnything to do with Alan Sugar being the sole supplier for SKY TV Digiboxes for the first few years I wonder?
