Match of the Day Season 2 arrived without much fanfare and built its audience the hard way — through word of mouth. Match of the Day Season 2 has the format that countless others have tried to copy since. Despite attempts by some clubs to prevent its return due to fear over ticket sales, Match of the Day returned to the BBC in October 1965 two months after the start of the new season. The duration of each programme had been reduced to 45 minutes in length and it could no longer be broadcast before 10.00pm. Kenneth Wolstenholme leads a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was aired in 1965. The format has been replicated endlessly since Match of the Day Season 2 first appeared, which is its own form of tribute. It rarely drops the ball, and when it does, it recovers fast.

Best experienced as a single, sustained watch if your schedule allows. The format has been copied endlessly since Match of the Day Season 2 first appeared, which is the most honest tribute the industry knows how to give. Impossible to watch casually.
