The season has been described as a fairytale, and who better
to tell that story than the players, management team and fans that made the
narrative possible. PupleTV has travelled up and down the country, and to the
Ullevi Stadium in Gothenburg, Sweden, capturing the precious memories of those
that took part in the game, as well as those who travelled by plane and ferry
to support Aberdeen on their European adventure.
Gothenburg ’83 includes personal testimonies of, in
particular, two distinguished Scottish footballing legends: the Aberdeen FC
manager at the helm at the time of the European success, current Manchester
United manager and one of the most respected figures in world football, Sir
Alex Ferguson; and the former Aberdeen FC midfielder and current Scotland
National Team Manager, Gordon Strachan.
Filmed over the course of four weeks, the one-hour must-see
film for BBC ALBA is presented by sport broadcaster and UEFA correspondent for
Scotland, Alex O’Henley.
The amazing journey of a provincial football club from the
north east coast of Scotland that conquered Europe is captured in exclusive
interviews, entertaining anecdotes from behind the scenes and archive footage
of the stunning events that led up to that legendary, rainy night in
Gothenburg.
Gothenburg ’83 will be transmitted on BBC Alba on Thursday 9
May at 9pm with a second chance to view on Saturday 11 May at 10pm.
