It's quite the surprise to hear Crowe when you first turn on episode one if you've not already read about the documentary prior, but somehow he makes it work.

Crowe's calm nature and expert delivery make for an experience that viewers can enjoy with minimal stress or questions about what might be going on on-screen.

A Leeds United obsessive by his own admission, Crowe maintains his professionalism throughout - albeit with a few biased lines delivered along the way - to prove he really can do anything.

It's a mark on the size of the club that they have managed to get someone like Crowe involved.

We might be used to seeing him on the big screen taking on some of the biggest acting roles in the last few decades but on this occasion, Crowe delivers with aplomb in an entirely different environment.
