What is When Eagles Dare about?
The series tells the story of how Crystal Palace’s fans saved their club, as lifelong supporter Steve Parish formed a consortium to prevent it from going out of business.
Time was running out and liquidation loomed, but a mass protest of thousands of fellow fans outside Lloyds Bank helped the consortium finalise a deal to buy their beloved club.
Each 50-minute episode features never-before-seen footage from the 2012/13 season when the club allowed unprecedented access to a film crew, while present-day retrospective interviews with all the main figures help tell the tale of one of football’s greatest underdog stories.
The series will include interviews with chairman Steve Parish, managers including Dougie Freedman, and Ian Holloway and players Wilfried Zaha, Jonny Williams, Julian Speroni, Mile Jedinak and Kevin Phillips.
“The documentary provides unique insight into one of the most special groups of players and people I have worked with,” said Steve Parish, Crystal Palace chairman.
“I know that Palace fans have been desperate to see some of the footage captured in 2012/13 and will find the series fascinating. For fans of other clubs who dream of their team reaching the pinnacle of the English game, this is a story that shows that it really is possible.”
