A special screening including Q&A with Paris 75 Director, Harvey Marcus
Fifty years on, at each and every game, Leeds United fans still sing the same refrain, ‘We Are The Champions, Champions Of Europe’.
PARIS 75 – The European Cup Final Football Tried To Forget, takes a unique look at a season and, ultimately, a match steeped in controversy and myth which defined the identity of a club, its supporters and, arguably, a city, that endures to this day; bringing to a crashing end an era in football never witnessed before or since.
As much about the history and heritage of football from a bygone age, PARIS 75 features rare and never-seen-before cine-footage taken by supporters who followed Leeds across Europe that season and exclusive home-video from Leeds United legend Paul Reaney; it is the story of female football supporting pioneers and early foreign travel, a film about football in the Seventies, with appeal to Leeds United fans and neutrals alike. It is a film for the fans told by the fans who were there – Roy, Carole, Rich, Margaret and Heidi; Leeds United and England legends, Paul Reaney and Allan Clarke, who played, and other key figures who witnessed that season and that final.
At a time when supporters have never felt so alienated and distanced from today’s supercar-driving, noise-cancelling players of today and the anonymous corporates who own their club, PARIS 75 is a timely reminder of what football used to be – the good and the bad.
