The documentary-style feature is called Different League- the Derry City Story and is the work of film producer Guy King.
Originally from Glenarm in County Antrim, Mr King moved to Hatmore Park in Derry as a youngster before making his home in London. He was part of the huge Red and White Army that accompanied the Candystripes around Ireland in the mid-to-late 80 s. Different League tells the background to Derry s expulsion from the Irish League days and how they burst onto the League of Ireland scene in a blaze of colour, seen through the eyes of several key personnel.
There s the Gang of Four who came up with the plan to approach the FAI, former City stars like Felix Healy and Owen Da Gama, several key Board members, the ever-lively Eamonn McCann as well as first-hand testimonies of many supporters and local dignataries.
