PARIS 75 REVIEW FROM BBC'S SPORTS ADAM POPE:
PARIS 75 ON THE HAWKSBEE & JACOBS SHOW ON TALKSPORT
TALKING PARIS75 WITH GER LYNCH
ON THE LEEDS VIEW PODCAST
The story behind PARIS 75...
Like many other fans, Leeds-born filmmaker Harvey Marcus has been obsessed about the injustices surrounding
Leeds United's controversial defeat to Bayern Munich in the 1975 European Cup for more years than he care to recall. But what made him decide to make a documentary about the match was a chance Facebook connection with Leeds superfan Roy Schofield - a true legend who has not missed a game, home or away, for more than 50 years.
There have been other documentaries about the 1975 European Cup Final, but what makes PARIS 75 special is that this is the fans' story of that European Cup run. Scheduled for a May 2025 release, to coincide with the final's 50th anniversary, the film will also contain other rare footage of the fans and match, as well as interviews with the players involved. But at its heart is Roy's unseen footage and the story of the Leeds fans who were there. Because that is
the story which has never been told and deserves to be told, for now and generations to come. Because it's Leeds
United's supporters who refuse to let football forget who should have lifted the European Cup that year.
It's the Leeds supporters who have been singing the same song for 50 years now, week in week out,
from the Adamson era to Farke's new dawn - 'We Are The Champions', Champions Of Europe'.
We met up to chat about his vast collection of shirts, programmes, photos and memorabilia, when he revealed his real treasure trove - over thirty minutes of unseen cine-film, shot by Roy, as he
and his friends followed Don Revie's great team across Europe all the way to Paris.
The films begin in 1973, when he captured the team training before that other travesty of
justice, the Cup Winner's Cup Final, and continue through 1974 and the 74/75 season, including every away leg of the team's European Cup run; Zurich, Budapest (where only 60 Leeds supporters received visas to travel into what was then Communist Hungary), Anderlecht, Barcelona and finally, that fateful evening in the Parc des Princes.
