Manchester Histories Festival - 21 - 30 March 2014

I'll Be Bert

Actor and writer Bill Cronshaw explains the impact the former German prisoner of war Bert Trautmann had following his arrival as Manchester City goalkeeper shortly after World War Two.

This is an amusing story of hero worship, a broken neck, dreams, nightmares, forgiveness and redemption.

A must for any football fan with a passion for the history of the game or for anyone with an interest in Mancunian life during the post war period.

THE SATURDAY PERFORMANCE OF THIS EVENT IS NOW SOLD OUT, SORRY!
