Gazza's Tears - The Night That Changed Football

Twenty years on from one of football’s most iconic matches, ITV1 revisits England’s 1990 World Cup semi final match against Germany in Gazza’s Tears – The Night That Changed Football. The one-hour documentary – which features Paul Gascoigne speaking candidly about the match and his relationship with Bobby Robson - tells the story of that dramatic night in Turin as Robson’s team took on their old foes in the Stadio delle Alpi for a chance to make their first World Cup final since 1966; revisiting the moment that a teary eyed Gazza received a yellow card; and the penalty shoot out that would haunt the national team for years to come. The programme features new interviews with other members of the team including Terry Butcher, Paul Parker, Peter Shilton and David Platt as well as Bobby Robson’s son, Mark. Gazza’s Tears – The Night That Changed Football also revisits the impact of the game from the fan’s perspective; examining how Italia 90 and that match in particular helped rejuvenate English football after one of its most troubled periods during the 1980’s.
