From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Football First – Match Choice is an interactive television programme on Sky Sports that shows extended highlights of every Premier League match played on the day, except matches shown live on BT Sport.[1] Using the red button, the end user can select which match highlights they would like to watch. The programme first aired in 2004.[2]
