The documentary was made to find out the truth about the North Korean football heroes of 1966 who created the greatest shock in World Cup history coming in as 1000:1 outsiders and beating the Italians. On their return to North Korea, they were never heard from again, amongst rumours that they had been imprisoned due to womanising and drinking. They not only tracked down the surviving members of the team but in 2002 took them back to the UK and the scenes of their victories including a 33,000 standing ovation at Middlesbrough FC.
