2. The Giant Killers

Previously reserved for only the country’s wealthiest gentlemen, The Giant Killers tells the true story of the first team of workers to compete in the FA Cup, shining a light on the history of competitive football. Set in 1870s Lancashire, amidst the poverty and social unrest caused by the cotton famine, Darwen FC rose up to become a shining beacon of hope for their town. Facing challenges both on and off the pitch, the team of workers faced lords, knights, and peers as they fought to make football a game for the masses, not just the wealthy and privileged.
