Sports Film of the Week: CITY! A Club in Crisis

Take a trip down memory lane with the classic football doc from the archives.

Title: CITY! A Club in Crisis

Director: Peter Carr

Released: 1981

Plot: A fly-on-the-wall documentary which went inside the Manchester City dressing room during the turbulent 1980/1981 season. An excellent insight into the Malcolm Allison era.

What the critics said: “To me, what is inspirational from this documentary is the honesty that’s on display… Sadly, a documentary like this probably couldn’t be made today. There are too many middle managers at clubs that would want to get in the way and control the footage shown.” (Christopher Harris, WorldSoccerTalk)

Random YouTube comment: “Great film with some of the worst combovers ever.” (Mark Stivers)

Watch it in six parts on YouTube
