Alan Smith

Do you fancy being involved in a documentary about 89?

And she didn't even have to go on from that moment.

As soon as she said that, I said, yeah, I'm in.

I have no idea what you want me to do, but I'll help in any way I can.

And so that was the start of it.

That was the first seed.

Amy Lawrence, if you don't know, is probably the biggest –

arsenal fan out there um a journalist but really impartial brilliant writer a brilliant journalist and um the fact that she wanted to be involved in it uh being so arsenal through and through absolutely tipped me over the edge and i said yeah just let me know and kind of from that moment on it became a labor of love i absolutely threw myself into the project um i couldn't do enough for her and the director david stewart

and the ideas that were coming out from that side of things.

I was kind of just the go-between between them and getting in contact with obviously the players because without them we don't have a documentary.

Yeah, I don't, you know, I'm a City fan as a kid.

Grew up watching him.

No victories to talk of in my lifetime when I was watching him as a supporter and then

The Aguero moment, I remember I was sitting in a hotel, I'd just been on a ride with Delalio doing the Delalio slam and the game was on and me and Graham and so were sitting in

in the foyer watching it on TV.

And I obviously went absolutely crazy when Aguero's goal went in.

Didn't think they would do it, 2-1 down with the corner, etc.

And the rest is history.

And it was an unbelievable situation.

But as Merce said, when people start talking about it in the same way as 89...
