A look at ESPN's brilliant 30 for 30 series, specifically The Two Escobars episode from the first season in 2009 which looks at the rise of drug kingpin and cartel boss Pablo Escobar and how his influence on Colombian football coincided with the country's clubs and national team having success like never before. The tale interweaves with defender Andres Escobar's own career and tragic death following the 1994 World Cup.
Don't worry, there's loads of daft stuff as well, including a musical treat at the end of the episode.
