Yes really good film. My only slight criticism is that there wasn't much time devoted to Bert's childhood and wartime years. This is covered brilliantly in Catrine Clay's book. Then again, you could probably make another film about that!

Yes but a very different film. For those that remember the old Maine road the CGi of the ground is fantastic and you can imagine the boardroom being like that when Swales was in charge. I thoroughly enjoyed it.Great, set to tape.
Is it as good as Jimmy Grimble?

Watched the film when it came out. Have read his book, very much a worthwhile read. The accusations of our club having no history stagger me when you know about this man. Bert is real history, not just trophies (where we are fifth in the all time list).
The woke world we live in would hardly have given Bert a second chance. A proud,hard working,handsome,tough man who defied all logic in a post-war era to become a true City legend. If anyone needs a statue, it is Bert.

Small correction but Swales wasn’t in charge at that point. I remember Bert and it was well before that halfwit ruined the club, maybe 10 years after Trautmann retired did Swales come in?Yes but a very different film.

In all fairness Riverside never said he was in charge at that time ??Small correction but Swales wasn’t in charge at that point. I remember Bert and it was well before that halfwit ruined the club, maybe 10 years after Trautmann retired did Swales come in?
Apologies if I’ve misunderstood but I took this as Rivers saying he was: “For those that remember the old Maine road the CGi of the ground is fantastic and you can imagine the boardroom being like that when Swales was in charge”In all fairness Riverside never said he was in charge at that time ??
Maybe he meant it hadn’t changed.
