Bill Fraser and Gwen Taylor
A rare look at football fanaticism in the 1930s. Super-fan Gordon Ottershaw supports a team which has not won a match for six years. But worse is to come. Will their tragedy bring Gordon's triumph? Or not. These are some of the questions this film hopes to answer. Or not.
