I honestly loved the stuff the film showed. However, as a celebration of 150 years I thought it was focused on the 80s and 90s and neglected previous generations. Yes, I know you can't fit everybody in, but where were Jim Sullivan, Brian McTigue, Ken Gee and all the others - we need to keep their names and memories alive, surely?

Sorry for the negativity, but that's how I felt watching it.

My own memories are of Frank Parr, Bill Francis, George Fairbairn, Trevor Lake, Kevin and Kieron O'Loughlin, Cliff and Dave Hill, Ray Ashby, Laurie Gilfedder and many more.
Gee and McTigue were on there
