Queen of Cups

Queen of Cups Part 1 takes you behind the scenes of ITV 7 - the 24-hour weekend football channel, whilst following the life of its extremely forthright and candidly spoken numero uno, Lee Janes - both through the man himself and through the eyes of both his best friend and Assisstant Producer. A quick fast-forward to July 2015, and the main man takes stock at what has passed, before embarking on what is to come - and what is to come, he certainly isn't expecting! However, somewhere in between, he gets cajoled by ITV 7's rather colourful Head of Security, into doing a job on the side - a football documentary that covers the Terry Neill Years - from his appointment as 15th choice in the summer of 1976 to the beginning of his downfall and forced resignation in December 1983. This includes the lies and deceit from inside the club, the failed transfers and indecisiveness that stopped Arsenal competing at the very, very top, along with the scheming nature of the former Arsenal player who only a couple of years earlier had been facing the sack as manager of Hull City, only to be handed a lifeline as manager of Arsenal's fierce North London rivals, Tottenham Hotspur - a club he helped save from relegation, but also a club whose board he totally rubbed up the wrong way - handing in his resignation on more than a few occasions, whilst at the same time it was being suggested - not only by the media, that he had been making illegal or improper payments to players.
