Last week we talked Wrexham.  This week we investigate another English lower league team trying to climb the pyramid that also has it's own documentary: Dorking Wanderers F.C.  Formed in 1999, this club started at the local Sunday league level and achieved 12 promotions in it's first 23 years – rising all the way up the the National League.  But the club's rise to fame, and the documentary storytelling style, are very different than what you will find with Wrexham.

And, as always, we will catch you up on some of the latest cup, pro/rel, lower league, and San Diego news.

LGS POD: QUESTION OF THE WEEK

We've spent two weeks in a row talking about clubs with soccer documentaries (Wrexham and Dorking Wanderers).  Now we want to hear from you!

What are your favorite / can't miss / most important soccer documentaries?  They don't have to be documentaries that follow a team.  They can be anything soccer related.
