  Review by Mark Cunliffe 🇵🇸 ★★★½ 5

  I Believe In Miracles is actor turned director Jonny (Svengali) Owen's nostalgic account of how mid '70s Nottingham Forest, managed by legendary Brian Clough, went from a little-fancied second division side to the glories of the first division (now the premier league) and, even more amazingly, the European cup.

  Using the template of that other successful football documentary film Class of '92, I Believe In Miracles mixes archive footage (both of the matches themselves and pop culture of the period) with contributions from now greying former players such as Peter Shilton, Trevor Francis, Martin O'Neill and Larry Lloyd to name just a few. These 'talking heads' mine a reach seam of anecdotes regarding old 'big 'ead' himself, Clough; a man…

  Review by Steven Sheehan ★★★★

  The release of this documentary feels apt with Leicester City surprisingly riding high in the Premier League, a relatively small club in comparison with the billionaires currently sucking the life out of the game. Jonny Owens documentary takes us back to a three year period when Nottingham Forest, now struggling in Division One, achieved what would now be absolutely impossible.

  Over a four year period from the mid to late 70's, they gained promotion and won the Division One title (now the Premier). Which would've been enough for most teams to achieve. Not for Brian Clough. The following season they lifted the European Cup trophy (now the Champions League) and just for fun, went on to win it again the…

  A really good documentary. What Brian Clough and Peter Taylor achieved at Nottingham Forrest doesn't get the credit it truly deserves.

  Maybe the best football doc ever made. Funny, crazy and a story of what a football team did in 2 years will never happen again.

  Sorry USA its real football where they use there feet.

  Haven’t watched a football doc in a while and this is a pretty good one. Definitely one of the best stories and characters the game has seen, the film isn’t bad either

  Review by Gary Naylor ★★★★★

  What makes a good sports documentary? One needs a sense of time and place, of the key personalities, of the stakes in play. More than that, one needs an unremitting focus on the otherness of the sport - the reason for the film's existence, this resurrection and animation of the record books. If you were there, you sniff the inauthentic, the hand overplayed, the misdirection towards a broader human interest story and your attention slides.

  It's hard to recall a film that solves those problems more successfully than Jonny Owen's love letter to Nottingham Forest. Tightening its timescale more than I expected, it charts the rise of a provincial football club from the backwaters of the second tier to the…

  Football is a game of habits and simplicity is its greatest strength. Brian Clough, great man management.

  Review by Steven Clarke ★★★★★

  One of the best football documentaries ever made. It's rare to find an engaging film about football but with "I believe in miracles" the filmamakers have managed to capture the magic and wonder of the worlds greatest game (with the help of its greatest ever triumph)

  Review by Mark Cunliffe 🇵🇸 ★★★½

  Watched this with my dad. I first watched it myself last year and I knew he'd like it if he gave it a try, but he often has an aversion to documentaries and if I'd have suggested watching this he'd flat out refuse. So instead I just put it on and within minutes he'd put his book down and became hooked. He even asked me to pause it while he took the dog out!

  'Did you enjoy that?' I said as the credits rolled.
  'Aye,' he nodded. 'Brought back memories. Proper football that'

  If you're a fan of the ESPN 30 for 30 docs this should be for you. A wonderful story told by the men who made it
