WITHIN THE OPENING 90 seconds of ‘Cork City FC – The Rise of the Rebel Army’, the brilliant new mini-documentary from Copa90, we hear that not only is there reason to believe that Cork City is the “biggest club in the country”, but also that Cork itself is the “greatest city in the world”.
But, if you’re not from Cork, there’s still plenty of reasons to continue watching as those involved at the very heart of the club talk about how they saved it from extinction.
Featuring The42‘s very own League of Ireland columnist John O’Sullivan, the quote of the documentary goes to Dave Alton, part of the Commandos 84 fan group.
“If anyone else who didn’t support a football club saw what we get up to, like we spent last Saturday in a fuckin’ warehouse sewing a crowd cover.
“Like, if you said to anyone else these are a group of lads in their twenties and they spent the say sewing and painting in a fuckin’ warehouse, they’d think you’re absolutely insane.
“But it’s what we do. It’s our passion.”
