Friendly Games
Channel 5 have previously covered pre-season friendly games in the run up to new seasons and have done since 1999. Two games from Liverpool's pre season tour were shown in July 2008 with Channel 5's current UEFA Europa League at the helm. Occasional charity games, such as those featuring a team of England Legends, have also been shown on Channel 5. They showed The Carlberg Belfast Challenge in 1998, which Liverpool were in, The Gelderland Tournament the same year with Chelsea and Dennis Bergkamp's testimonial and anything else they could grab in the early days.

Famous quotes containing the words friendly and/or games:
“This monument, so imposing and tasteful, fittingly typifies the grand and symmetrical character of him in whose honor it has been builded. His was “the arduous greatness of things done.” No friendly hands constructed and placed for his ambition a ladder upon which he might climb. His own brave hands framed and nailed the cleats upon which he climbed to the heights of public usefulness and fame.”
—Benjamin Harrison (1833–1901)
“At the age of twelve I was finding the world too small: it appeared to me like a dull, trim back garden, in which only trivial games could be played.”
—Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)
