“Everyone knows how it ended. But this is the long overdue inside story, masterfully told.” – Alan Pattullo, Scotsman
3rd May 1986: fans at Dens Park, Ibrox, Easter Road and Love Street watch the action unfold with transistor radios pressed to their ears, desperate for the news that would decide the destination of that season’s league championship.
Albert Kidd makes a rare and late appearance on the stage and tears the show apart. In seven special minutes Albert elevates himself to the status of cult hero at two clubs he would never play for and folk devil at a third.
‘AK 86: Two Shots In The Heart Of Scottish Football’ sees Albert speak in greater depth than ever before about his role in the most talked about day in Scottish football history and how it has changed his life.
With contributions from players and fans of Celtic, Dundee, Heart of Midlothian, Hibernian, Rangers and St Mirren, every side of the incredible story is explored as the events are placed in the context of the wider revolution taking place within the national game.
Thirty years on AK 86 sifts through the rubble of an explosive day with rumour and counter-rumour, controversy and drama, a day that gave rise to conspiracy theories, delirium, and broken hearts.
