Brass Tacks: The English Disease

on BBC Two England

"Football has done all it can possibly, humanly do" - Bert Millichip, Football Association Chairman

Three years ago, after the Heysel disaster, English clubs were banned from European competition. The message was clear: until English football solved its hooligan problem, Europe's doors would remain firmly closed.
Claiming to have purged the game of its violent minority, the football authorities are now seeking an end to England's isolation. As Europe's governing body prepares for talks with the British Government, David Taylor examines what has been done to cure the so-called 'English Disease'.
