This amount includes seller specified domestic postage charges as well as applicable international postage, dispatch, and other fees. Local Heroes Documentary directed by John Warrington depicting the rise of footballers Viv Anderson, Garry Birtles and Tony Woodcock in the 1970s. The story of Forest’s glory years under Brian Clough is well-known, but this new movie sheds light on a different side of the tale. I don’t want to give away too much about the actual substance of the film, so I will let you make your own mind up, but I can tell you that it took me on an emotional journey that I’m pleased to have been on.

The stories of Viv Anderson, Garry Birtles and Tony Woodcock are explored in a new film tied to the successes of Nottingham Forest Football Club. Telling the incredible, largely unknown behind-the-scenes story of the three Forest footballers, John Warrington’s Local Heroes charts their tale as they triumph in the face of adversity. No spoilers from me but from the beautifully filmed, not sentimenal and spot on direction of John Warrington to the engaging narration Gary Webster , this is simply a brilliant film.The 103 third parties who use cookies on this service do so for their purposes of displaying and measuring personalized ads, generating audience insights, and developing and improving products.
