Yahoo Finance TV tonight: how former players have stood up to football’s racism
Standing Firm: Football’s Windrush Story
10.30pm, BT Sport 3
As anyone with a passing interest in football will know, the furore over the taking of the knee is the tip of a vast iceberg. The presenter of this fine documentary, Benjamin Zephaniah, has fallen back in love with football thanks to the likable, socially aware English national team. But, as his film illustrates, they stand on the shoulders of giants. Pioneers such as Cyrille Regis were subjected to barely believable levels of racist abuse – and their courage essentially created modern football as we know it. Phil Harrison

A House Through Time

Moving 80 years forwards, some former students recall their stay here around the time of the millennium, enjoying Leeds’s vibrant regeneration. Social history at its finest. Ali Catterall

Spice Girls: How Girl Power Changed Britain
9.30pm, Channel 4
The cheerful history of the girl band concludes. While it’s hard to buy its thesis that the Spice Girls “changed Britain” in any meaningful way, they did brighten its pop landscape for a while. Tonight, they are going it alone and finding solo life tough – so a reunion or two are hard to resist. PH
