American documentary on Wycombe, Plymouth and Leyton Orient
CBS have the EFL over here, and they produced a documentary (Five Dollar Derby) about the American owners of three clubs (with the plot twist at the end that RC sells up).
The documentary was originally going to be called 'Not Wrexham', as the point is to introduce the American audience to other EFL clubs.
It is out in installments here, but you can see the whole thing on the Leyton Orient website for a (free) sign up:
Leyton Orient - In Full: 'Five Dollar Derby'
If you listen closely enough, you may hear a 15 second snippet of a song that is iconic in my eyes only, when Wycombe are introduced properly.

Americans like their sports teams to be owned by billionaires, so we might increase the Wycombe World Wide Phenomenon when they see this.
Many thanks for the recommendation. It was easy to subscribe to the LO site (just then scroll down through their numerous videos to get back to 10th September) and the programme is absolutely brilliant. There are no major insights, but the openness of all 3 clubs and the 3 chairmen was great.
If you can spare the time, it's a great watch.
with the plot twist at the end that RC sells up
Really good watch. No major shocks but entertaining viewing.
Going to give this a go over the weekend
😕like what Pete says at the start of the doc
Not got round to it yet but, if it’s not too much of a spoiler, could you give us a flavour of what he (Pete Couhig, I assume) says.
It is literally in the first 30 secs of the doc with @bluntphil entering his office, sums up the whole project in one pithy Pete like way - I won’t spoil it but it’s the best bit IMO
