Thanks all for the contributions. Documentary is trying to look at the story of the players, the fans ( in Argentina but also back home), the media, the manager. Filming is on-going and can only hope folk enjoy it when it comes out.

Haven't filmed anything yet Doon, but aye, I hear you

Hey Folks, I'm a TV director putting an hour long documentary together about Scotland's World Cup campaign of 1978. I hope to make a documentary that looks beyond the 2 or 3 clips that are always shown, speaking to fans, players, journalists.... What I'm looking for are eye-witnesses with good tales to tell.... Who went to Argentina, and can tell their story ? ( I have a few names pulled from newspaper articles but sometimes tricky to track down) Who remembers the send off ? Who remembers the agony as Iran scored ? Who remembers the blissful moment of Gemmill's goal ? Does anyone have any cinefilm footage in the attic ? Did anyone get an Argentina tattoo ? Was anyone involved in the plan to buy the submarine? I'm eager to speak to people who remember what it all felt like At the Time. Who remember the hope, the despair. Lets tell our stories ! Last year we made Glasgow 1967 about the Lisbon Lions - we won a BAFTA and folk seemed to like the documentary - so we're hoping to make something about Scotland that has the same production values, celebrates the moment, football and social history. Please feel free to answer here or to send an email directly to Argentina78@img.com. Also on twitter as @Allysarmy78doc thanks to TAMB for letting me put the shout out.
