You don’t have to look far for a Netflix documentary on football these days, but there was a time when Ron Atkinson was ahead of the game.
Back in 2006, ‘Big Ron Manager’ was broadcast on Sky One, with Atkinson parachuted in to League Two club Peterborough United as a “football troubleshooter” for a fee of around £100,000.
The series, narrated by Jeff Stelling, featured a warts-and-all look behind the scenes at a professional football club who were pushing for promotion under new manager Steve Bleasdale and were then owned by the colourful Barry Fry.
