Sounds good, hopefully I've got a blank tape ready to go.

Reasonably okay film about him came out last year, very enjoyable.

Edit - just read the BBC 2 write up, it is in fact the film I referred to.

Watched this last year during Lockdown on Sky Movies, I thought it was excellent personally

Thanks for that. My next door neighbour played for Man City in the famous Trautmann cup final. Bill Leivers.

I watched this last year, very enjoyable seeing the history I've read about acted out. Plenty of nuggets involved that enhanced the story from what I had previously heard

I read a biography and he did highlight that his first wife was quite nasty, (constantly reminding him of his background and upbringing) which doesn’t come across in the film.

Fantastic - what were his thoughts re Trautmann (if you get chance to ask).

Will try to have a word with him, but I'd better watch the movie first - he does tend to ramble, so I need to be able to ask sensible questions!

Just bumped into his grandson, and mentioned the film. Apparently, Bill was "fuming" because there was nothing about him in it! Maybe I'll approach his son next!
