Title: Rovers documentary
Post by: DRNaith on March 10, 2018, 07:25:55 am
On the Rovers related Wikipedia page there's a passage that reads as follows:

" In the early 1980s there was a documentary about Billy Bremner as the manager of Rovers. The documentary is notable not only for the inside look at the pre-match preparations, warm-up conducted in the dressing-rooms, starting line-up read out as if it's coming to Bremner there and then, but for such rare footage of early 1980s Belle Vue, with a full-size Popular Stand and the Cow Shed still standing at the Town End"

Does anyone on here have a link to this online, please, or at the very least know the name of the documentary?

I watched it some while ago. Can't recall the source but it was a very good insight into Bremner the man manager.
