And every time it gets me three handkerchiefs, I have to cry at those three moments.
And I'm still doing it today.
And next time I watch it, next time it's on Sky, I'll do the same.
And I think that's all credit to the director, David Stewart, and the editor, Sam Billings.
The way that they create that drama is just sensational.
Geoff, it was really important that we obviously covered all aspects in the film.
And David was a massive part of that.
And we sat down and had production meetings about how we were going to do it, who we were going to talk to.
We basically asked all of the lads of their memories of,
of David, and Smudge has eloquently expressed how he was feeling at the time, and we're all very similar in that respect, but Smudge was particularly close to David.
And that came across, you know, I've seen all the footage, I've seen all the stuff that didn't go into the film.
But we just thought that, you know, I mentioned it with Amy about, because David was so close to Ian,
Ian was really reluctant to begin with to be in the film because he said, you know, I asked him, I said, you know, would you consider being in the film?
And he said, well, I'm not, I didn't play.
I'm not, that's not part of my life.
And I said, you, you're the only one who can tell the story about David, uh, so intimately, um, even though he's got friends and we can all say we, but he knew him intimately, knew him since, uh, you know, a small lad.
reluctantly in the end he said yeah okay i'll do it and he was just you know that moment when he breaks down you can just see the the lover in his heart pour out onto the screen and it was we showed him beforehand we showed him obviously the edit and we said look these are the bits we'd like to go in i think this really epitomizes what david was all about what you're about what the film what what the film were trying to tell the story and he said um
He said, I'm not sure, Dicko.
He said, people will laugh at me for crying.
