John Toshack
A unique and nostalgic film celebrating the remarkable career of the Welsh football legend John Toshack.
From a decade at the top as a player with Bill Shankly's iconic Liverpool team, to unprecedented success as a manager both here and abroad, this is a fitting and warm tribute to the man known to many simply as ‘Tosh'.
In his first interview since spending two weeks on a ventilator with Covid, he also talks candidly about how close to death he came and his remarkable recovery. The film goes on to chart how 'Tosh' started off as the youngest first team player in Cardiff City's history, and how he went on to accrue legendary status at Liverpool, where he quickly formed a potent centre forward partnership with Kevin Keegan. Leaving with a stack of winners' medals, Toshack returned to Wales as player/manager with Swansea City, where he became the first man to take a team from the fourth division to the first in successive seasons. He went on to find success with Real Madrid and took charge of the national team twice, giving first caps to youngsters like Gareth Bale and Aaron Ramsey.
With contributions from likes the like of Xabi Alonso, Joe Ledley and Steve Heighway, this is the definitive story of a Welsh legend.
Neville Southall
Documentary following Neville Southall's unconventional rise to the top of professional football, and the events that shaped him into the idiosyncratic icon who famously once sat down next to the goalpost during half-time rather than leave the pitch with his team.
Using rare and never-before-seen archive footage from his childhood, this documentary highlights the remarkable symmetry between his time playing senior men's football as a 12-year-old boy in Llandudno, and the twilight of his career in goal for Wales. Deep and revealing interviews with allies and close friends help Neville tell his own funny, surprising and emotional story.
Rob Page
The definitive story of the boy from Tylorstown who would transform the fortunes of Welsh football by smashing six decades of hurt and frustration and leading his team to Qatar 2022.
Page is the first Welsh manager to qualify for a World Cup since 1958, and while that achievement may have cemented his place in Welsh folklore, little is known about 'Pagey', the quiet man now catapulted on to the biggest stage in world sport.
Boasting unparalleled access to Page as he enjoys rare time out from his World Cup preparations, we discover how this valley boy battled his way from a Rhondda terraced house to become the unexpected Wales World Cup manager.
