Sir Bobby was a key member of the England team that won the World Cup in 1966 and a Manchester United team touched by success and tragedy in equal measure.

Now you can relive over and over again Leeds' stunning opening goal at Ibrox which was superbly overturned twice as Rangers and over 40,000 fanatical supporters roared into the English Champions.

All the magic of that evening from Hateley's devastating opener to Ally's fantastic header for the second goal is captured forever. This specially packaged 60-minute film features all the highlights plus exclusive interviews with players and manager Walter Smith. Adding to the pleasure is the English television commentary which refuses to believe that the pride of England is out of Europe.
