I went to the second evening of the Thinking Football Festival sponsored by Athletic Club Bilbao last night. The second film of the evening was Blanco, Celeste, Blanco which was about Ossie Ardiles' transfer to Tottenham and his ensuing relationship with the club, England and Argentina following the outbreak of the Falkland's War. It was followed by a short Q&A with the man himself, the director and another bloke who's presence I didn't quite understand to be honest but he lead the Q&A.
The film was excellent and portrayed Ardiles to be very humble and generous. This was exactly how he came across in the Q&A as well. It was a very enjoyable evening free of charge. The festival kicked off with a screening of I Believe In Miracles and a Q&A with John Robertson, Kevin Drinkell and the director of that film. I missed that due to work but anyone interested can check out the rest of the programme here.
