Back when we only saw trailers of the English Premier League
Today the EPL is extremely popular in India and ESPN Star broadcasts half a dozen live games a week and airs numerous other related programs. And then there are a dozen football websites.
But back in 1992, we had neither. We relied on Brian Glanville’s last page articles in the The Sportstar (god bless them for that) and the occasional glimpse of recorded action in a sports program that was shown on DD at around 4.30 p.m on Sundays. I think it was called sports hour or something.
This logo was easliy identifiable in 1992
I was already a teenage football fan then and savoured these limit doses. For those of you who came later, John Brewin has written a very informative article about the 1992 premiership season. It’s a wonderful reminder of the fact that things weren’t always like they have been for the last ten odd-years. For starters there was no Big 4 of English football.
Sports hour @5… nostalgia.
