The Development Committee commissioned Vinny Cunningham’s award-winning Northland Broadcast to undertake this production in late 2006. Filmed in Derry, Göteborg, Motherwell, Glasgow, Paris, Dunfermline and Birmingham, the DVD takes the viewer on an amazing journey and reflects on one of the greatest performances by an Irish club in the history of European football.

Including all of Derry City’s UEFA Cup goals, exclusive interviews with Stephen Kenny, the team, Derry City’s board of directors, the fans and an interview with Martin O’Neill (Aston Villa FC), the DVD also features match highlights from all six games as well as the world premiere of ‘DKTV’, the private and previously unseen ‘behind the scenes’ UEFA Cup footage captured by Darren Kelly. ‘Derry City FC: A European Odyssey’ provides an exciting and comprehensive record of what Derry City and the Candystriped fans achieved in Europe in 2006.

DVD ‘extras’ include the full unedited Martin O’Neill interview and six fans’ galleries which include photographs and video footage from all the games and on the streets before and after the games. One of the galleries is from PSG fan Stephane Maurin and features footage from a PSG ‘point of view’ at the magnificent Parc des Princes and under the Eiffel Tower.

Producer and Director, Vinny Cunningham, said:

‘This production has been a mammoth task but as a fan it has been a hugely enjoyable one. We have acquired footage and photographs from all over the world and conducted many interviews. I believe that this DVD will appeal to all football fans, it’s an incredible story and I congratulate the Development Committee for commissioning this historical DVD.’

As well as raising funds for Derry City FC, a percentage of any profits made will go to local charity, ‘Children in Crossfire’.
