Jimmy Murphy was one of my family and very supportive of myself after illness coming down to Wales to visit me during my teenage convalescence so I could relate to Tennants portrayal as favourable and as an actor he had certainly done his homework.The script and general production showed not only the tide of events surrounding the disaster but also embraced the relationship between Jimmy and Charlton.Setting aside the potential criticisms of how true to life other characters were portrayed it must be emphasised that the spirit of determination compassion and rebuilding was embellished in this relationship between the younger and older man and the effect that it had had on not only the team but the Nation.In other words the film went beyond football and this is possibly what the writing/production team had intended.A first rate unique film for a unique story which played objectively well.
