Crowdfunding for forgotten history

• A crowdfunding campaign has been launched for a documentary on a 1967 charity football match held in Liverpool.

• The match featured legendary players, including Hungarian star Ferenc Puskás, alongside British icons Billy Liddell and John Charles.

• The film is directed by Daniel Metcalf, whose grandfather, Mike Metcalf, played in the match as a striker for Chester FC.

• The documentary aims to explore the match’s historical significance, 1960s football culture, and the unifying power of sport.

• Chester FC is collaborating on the project, with endorsements from notable football figures like Neville Southall.

• Broadcaster Kim Thomas is narrating the film, and an experienced production team is attached.

• The campaign seeks to raise £3,300 to cover initial production costs, with additional stretch goals to enhance production quality.

• Filming is scheduled to begin in Chester in May 2025, with a planned release in early 2026 for the festival circuit.
