The Bert Trautmann Story

[weejh]

Just finished watching it, gotta say it was a very moving film, and really unbelievable how far bert came in his life!!! Actuallymade me proud to be English aswelll, the way we treated the pow's.

Loved the bit where he was talking about the two Brits who took him prisoner. One grabbed him by the coat, and the other said 'Hi Fritz, fancy a cuppa' - awesome. Some of his comments about his treatment when captured actually showed this country at it's best.

On a side note, Jeremy Kyle would have slaughtered him for leaving his bird with a kid! 'You're not fit to be a father, you waste of space' etc, etc, etc - whilst leaning very close in to his face....

Great documentary though.

Thanks so much to you, and indeed them, for this. Downloaded it last night and watched it this morning and am really glad I did. I also forwarded the link to a big Blue I know in his seventies who now lives overseas and idolises Bert. He'll be thrilled if he can see it.

Cheers for the link Shady, just watched it and it was fantastic. Like others I feel it was a bit rushed but then the book is there in much more detail for those that haven't read it.

I am going to gather a lot of the quotes from here and put them into a little scrapbook for him so if anyone else wants to add anything do it now or forever hold your piece. I will take it to him tomorrow.
