One Night in Turin

Based on the book 'All Played Out' by Pete Davies, James Erskine's film 'One Night in Turin' re-visits the Italia '90 World Cup.

This feature length docu-drama combined documentary footage with new scenes to tell the story of the England team during the tournament in 1990 during a time when the country's reputation for hooliganism was at an all time high. 

However Sir Bobby Robson and his team set about uniting the nation as they played their way to the World Cup semi-finals.

I used a huge amount of research material when working on this project, sifting through footage of the games and an archive of photographs from the tournament. With the World Cup once again proving to be the greatest show on earth, I thought this would be a good time to post this trip down memory lane.
