The Game of Their Lives

BBC Four
on BBC Four

First in a season of football documentaries as a prelude to the World Cup. In 1966, North Korea created the greatest shock in World Cup history by knocking out favourites Italy.
This film travels to North Korea to interview the seven surviving players, who, with the aid of archive footage, tell the story of the match that made them national heroes to this day.
The Cup follows and Ajax ― Storyville is tomorrow at 9pm.
