Once In a Lifetime: "They Say We're Crazy" - Real Betis

Derby Days South Coast: Portsmouth v Southampton
Overview: Take two towns steeped in war, tragedy and violence add a deep passion for local football and pit them against each other and you have one hell of a Derby Day. It's the South Coast derby. Perhaps the rarest played major derby in the UK and certainly one of the most ferocious, thanks to two cities and sets of fans who have a hell of a lot of passion, pride, and personality as well as an edge you wouldn't want to cross. It's Portsmouth v Southampton for the first time in seven years, in the third round of the Carabao Cup and just like every other time they've met, there’s going to be scenes.

Overview: We head to Lombardy, Italy, for the first derby in more than a decade between Brescia Calcio and Atalanta B.C. Two clubs who share a rivalry that goes way beyond football and into every facet of local culture from the dialect to the food to the culture of war and violence in the region. Despite being provincial neighbours, different time spent in different divisions meant the two had been suffering their longest derby drought, until this season, where they would both finally meet in Serie A.

Once In a Lifetime: "We Refuse To Know Our Place" - Trabzonspor
Overview: From the south of Spain to the north of Turkey to the south west of Germany, Once in a lifetime is a new series telling the story of three very different clubs made up of three very different people, in three very different places, that all share one thing in common. A very long wait to win something. We headed to Trabzon, home to Trabzonspor, the only non Istanbul team who had the audacity to consistently compete with the big Turkish clubs on and off the pitch. With the club on the verge of winning their first 'official' title in 38 years, we headed to the city on the week of the deciding game. What we came across was a story, a fanbase, and a match day atmosphere that was as memorable as anything we have ever come across.

Overview: When we decided Scotland’s first men’s tournament in 23 years was the story of this summers Euro’s everyone told us to expect the unexpected. But even we couldn’t have foreseen the absurdity, the madness and the highs and the heartbreak. Scotland is arguably the football nation when you look into their history and relationship with the game. If you look at the very fabric of their society, for good or for bad, football is interwoven into it. This is a story as fascinating as any we have ever told.
