As institutions of Irish League football go, Glentoran Football Club are among the biggest.

In a new documentary, ‘Dreams Of Glory: The Glentoran Story’, to be shown on BBC One NI and the BBC iPlayer on 28 August at 22:40 BST, filmmakers Matthew Irvine and Matthew Wenlock take us on a fascinating look behind the scenes at the east Belfast club.

The documentary, filmed over three years, follows the club and their fans as they attempt to win the Irish Premiership trophy.

The reigns of managers Mick McDermott, Rodney McAree and Warren Feeney, as well as the beginning of current boss Declan Devine’s tenure, are all covered in the one hour documentary.

“It was very random how it came about,” joint director Wenlock told BBC Sport NI.

“We were shooting another documentary at the time, and we saw Glentoran had started doing well and we follow football.

“At that stage Glentoran hadn’t won the league in 13 years and we thought they could do it that year and we thought it would be really cool to document.

“So we contacted the media officer within Glentoran and grabbed a coffee and that started a train of communication, which led to them letting us come in and document the season.”
