Old Scores

on BBC One London

In the summer of 1969 a group of teenagers living on the outskirts of Belfast played together as a football team for the last time. Northern Ireland was about to erupt into sectarian violence. Some of the players who were Protestants would join an illegal paramilitary organisation, the UVF. Some who were Roman Catholics would become involved with another illegal paramilitary organisation, the Provisional IRA. One of them, Bobby Sands , would grow up to be elected a Westminster MP and die on hunger strike. Olenka Frenkiel talks to the survivors from that team. /
