Sport Wales: The Ninian Park Story (Friday 22 May, BBC TWO Wales, 1900 BST) As Cardiff City say farewell to their old home and look forward to a new season at a new stadium, Sport Wales has produced a one-off documentary celebrating 99 years of Ninian Park. It features the highs and lows, the memorable matches and moments; the cult heroes and terrace legends; the giant-killings, the pitch invasions and the international matches. Also, there are the greatest goals and the weirdest events to take place at Ninian such as show-jumping in 1958, world title boxing in 1967, the Pope's visit in 1982, Bob Marley's gig in 1976 and American Football in the 1980s. Plus: - Nathan Blake on 'that' goal versus Man City in 1994. - Local boy Scott Young on scoring the winner against Premier League side Leeds United in the FA Cup. - Terry Yorath on the tragic night when the legendary Jock Stein passed away at Ninian. - John Toshack on visiting the ground as a child. - Mel Charles on the arrival of his superstar brother John, in 1963. - Brian Clark on heading the goal that beat Real Madrid in 1971. And finally 'Whispering' Bob Harris on the day Bob Marley played at Ninian and why Harris thought the Cardiff ground was so 'oppressive' and 'violent'!
