Football’s Financial Shame: The Story of
the V11
9pm, BBC Two
In a documentary postponed from last month, the former Liverpool player Danny Murphy says a scandal in which financial advisers allegedly caused players to lose millions of pounds led him to drink, drugs and gambling. He is one of the V11, a group of ex-football players including Craig Short, Rod Wallace and Michael Thomas, who say they lost everything because of the people they trusted with their futures. They tell their stories in this report that also looks at the wider football culture in which earnings boomed. Hollie Richardson
