The Saturday Men is a 1962 British sports documentary about association football that follows a week in the life of West Bromwich Albion football club. The film, the third episode of the three-part television series Look at Britain, was narrated by Barney Bamford and Don Howe. It shows team members training and being given a pre-match talk by the club's manager, Archie Macaulay, as well as footage of boardroom meetings. There is also an interview with a footballer who is about to begin a new career as a salesman, and an appearance by a young Bobby Robson. The episode was directed by John Fletcher and written by Denis Mitchell, and was part of a series that looked at working class British life. The other two films in the series are Every Day Except Christmas and We Are the Lambeth Boys.
