The fly-on-the-wall cameras capture Sitton's attempt to keep a rapidly disintegrating Orient in the Second Division in the 1993/94 season, and his mental collapse on the way to failure: raging, growling, offering to fight his own team, sacking defenders at half-time.
This hour-long Channel 4 doc almost immediately became a meme in itself, with shards of Leyton Orient manager John Sitton's ravings making their way into football argot. This is football's equivalent of that photo of people scrapping on the streets of Manchester which looks accidentally like a Renaissance masterpiece.
