Those Glory Glory Days

Those Glory Glory Days is a 1983 British made-for-television film about football. The screenplay was written by the sports journalist Julie Welch. The film is inspired by Welch's childhood love of football, and helped to establish her as a screenwriter. It was released on 17 November 1983 and featured Zoë Nathenson, Sara Sugarman and Cathy Murphy in leading roles. The film is about a group of girls growing up in 1960-61 London, who develop an interest in football and support for Tottenham Hotspur, which became the first English team in the 20th century to win both the English league and the FA Cup "double". Twenty years later, one of the girls is making a documentary on the sporting achievement and tracks down players from the 1960-1961 team.
