With unprecedented access to the protagonists Lee Dixon, George Graham, Tony Adams and Michael Thomas, as well as Arsenal legend Ian Wright, and contributions from avid fans Dermot O’Leary, Nick Hornby and Alan Davies – 89 is a nostalgic, emotional tribute to one of the most compelling football finales of all time.
Directed by Dave Stewart (The Humans Face, Origins of Us) and executive produced by former Arsenal right-back Lee Dixon and football correspondent Amy Lawrence, 89 is a universal tale of a band of brothers whose camaraderie has lasted long after the trophy was lifted.
“It stands alone as the best moment I ever experienced in football. A unique time in football history threw up an unimaginable finale. To this day people talk about where they were when it happened. 89 is our side of one of the most dramatic and emotionally charged nights in football, told from our vantage point inside the dressing room and on the pitch.” Lee Dixon said in an official release.
