      Geoffrey Macnab Independent (UK) 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. Rated: 3/5 Sep 12, 2014 Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian It's a watchable film of localised interest: the DVD will be a piece of club merchandise, but a competently made one. Rated: 3/5 Sep 11, 2014 Full Review Dave Calhoun Time Out 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. Rated: 3/5 Sep 9, 2014 Full Review Graham Young Birmingham Mail 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. Rated: 4/5 Sep 12, 2014 Full Review Read all reviews

      Audience Member Splendidly made documentary not afraid to give the villains a fair hearing but ultimately happy to share the joy of the heroes. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Fantastic film about a fantastic family football club. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member 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 :) Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
