LIVERPOOL FC have announced plans to become the first football club to merge the world of professional football and TV for a fly-on-the-wall style documentary which promises to give fans a truly unique insight into what goes on behind the scenes at Anfield.
The club is teaming up with FOX Soccer who will produce and broadcast the show whilst being given unprecedented access, with filming beginning in May for the scheduled 6-part series entitled: ‘Our Liverpool: Never Walk Alone’.
Cameras will be allowed access to Melwood and inside the Anfield changing rooms whilst the players and coaching staff are at work, capturing the tail-end of this season as we hope to add an 8th FA Cup win to the trophy cabinet. The series will continue through the club’s North American tour and follow the build-up to the new Premier League season.
FOX Sports Media Group Chairman and CEO David Hill stated: “This is going to be a truly remarkable series for every football fan on earth, watching the inner workings of one of the world’s truly great clubs, and seeing things no one outside the inner sanctum has seen or experienced before. Liverpool FC is cherished by its community and hundreds of millions of fans worldwide. Working with a team so unique, and wrapped in so much history, is a natural fit for a project of this magnitude and uniqueness.”
Clearly exited by the groundbreaking venture and link-up with Fox Sports, Chairman Tom Werner also stated: “I am delighted that David Hill, David Nathanson and the team at Fox are producing this unique series. I expect that it will be compelling programming as Liverpool will provide unprecedented access. This will be an amazing opportunity for our fans to see a new side of the Club and for us to reach out to many more potential supporters around the world who will come to understand what makes Liverpool FC so special.”
The series will be led by multiple Emmy award-winning producer Scott Boggins (formerly of HBO’s groundbreaking ’24/7′ series whose most recent works include around-the-clock access to boxing title bouts between Floyd Mayweather and Victor Ortiz (2011), and Manny Pacquiao and Ricky Hatton (2009)) and is set to air globally in autumn 2012.
