I saw it. Thought it told the story well enough. I heard it was panned by the critics but these people are always rather high brow! A good enough watch.

Hi There,
Matt Busby son said it portrays his father as a gangster, and was a
"piece of rubbish".
Harry Gregg said the film was an "embarrassment" and added that he
had asked for his name to be removed from the credits.
He also said that scenes including one where a player "Mark Jones" is
shown smoking a pipe in the tunnel before the game were an "Affront"
to the dead.
Bill Foulkes who led the team out at Wembley four months after the crash
was not even mentioned in the film.
Ian King
