‘Moving. Powerful. Magnificent!’ – Adam Pope, BBC Sport

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.
