The iconic BBC show calls time on five decades of football coverage as viewers choose their most memorable highlights.
After more than half a century of bringing football to British screens, BBC's Football Focus is preparing to bow out in style. The legendary programme, which has been a Saturday staple since 1971, will air its final episode this Sunday - but not before giving fans one last chance to celebrate its incredible journey.
Viewers are now voting to determine which standout moment from the show's 52-year archive deserves a special showcase in the farewell broadcast. From groundbreaking interviews to iconic match coverage, Football Focus has captured countless pivotal moments that shaped the beautiful game.
The programme's legacy extends far beyond British shores, having documented the rise of African football legends who conquered European stages. Over the decades, Football Focus featured trailblazing stars like Nigeria's Jay-Jay Okocha, Cameroon's Samuel Eto'o, and Ghana's Michael Essien during their Premier League peaks, helping showcase African talent to millions of homes.
As fans cast their votes for the ultimate Football Focus moment, they're not just choosing highlights - they're celebrating a show that bridged continents and cultures through football. The final episode promises to be an emotional farewell to a programme that helped elevate the global game, including the incredible stories of African players who transformed English football forever.
