Geoffrey Macnab Independent (UK) 09/12/2014
3/5
This is a real-life sporting fairy-tale that suggests success can still sometimes be achieved in British football without the largesse of absentee foreign owners. Go to Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian 09/11/2014
3/5
It's a watchable film of localised interest: the DVD will be a piece of club merchandise, but a competently made one. Go to Full Review Dave Calhoun Time Out 09/09/2014
3/5
For diehard Swansea FC fans, this doc detailing the club's rise from near-bankruptcy to the Premier League will have them crying and punching the air with nostalgia. Go to Full Review Graham Young Birmingham Mail 09/12/2014
4/5
A story that money doesn't buy everything in football, that heart and conviction can still count for a lot on both sides of the touchline. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

05/27/2017 Splendidly made documentary not afraid to give the villains a fair hearing but ultimately happy to share the joy of the heroes. See more 01/05/2015 Fantastic film about a fantastic family football club. See more 09/20/2014 Quite a boring documentary, lacking in drama. One for fans of the club only. For anyone else its just another story of a team who have saw bad days turn good. Happens a surprising amount of times. Pretty amazed this got public release, should have just been local showings. See more 09/18/2014 An absolutely biased rating here but I did love this docufilm. Gave me goosebumps throughout as I remembered the events. The greatest football story ever (possibly) and that day in Wembley I will never forget. Jack Army! STID :) See more Read all reviews
