Hi all
As some of you may recall, with the kind assistance from many staff, players and supporters, I directed and produced both our Centenary and subsequent History DVD’s for the club back in 2005 & 2011 respectively – projects I am immensely proud to have been involved with.
Back in 2008 I approached the club with an idea to create a film celebrating our golden generation of youth team players from the 1970’s which were nurtured firstly by Malcolm Allison and his team of coaches and then by Terry Venables, who ultimately gave us a team capable of challenging (albeit briefly) at the very top of the Football league.
Sadly, the club couldn’t move forward with the project at the time but over ten years later and with kind support from Steve Parish I approached BT Sport with the idea. Given their brilliant work on creating a raft of quality sporting documentaries I felt the channel would be best placed to support the project and I’m delighted to say they have decided to commission my idea.
This BT Sport Documentary, entitled The Team of the 80s, is now in production and I will be hoping to speak with as many of the main protagonists as possible to dig deep into an era that defined our great club. The story begins with Malcolm Allison’s arrival in 1973 and continues throughout the 1970’s with relegations, cup runs, promotions, a table topping moment and of course the spectacular fall from those dizzying heights. Plus - everything in between!
This is where the good ship BBS can help.
I would love to hear any stories you may have from that era that could help crystallise what was an incredible period for the club. Also, if you have any personal photographs or cine film that can help illustrate the club and or area at that time I would love to be able to include some of that work in the film and would of course keep any items shared/loaned to the production completely safe.
Any and all thoughts welcome.
Cheers
Al Ryan
