"Walter: A Life In Football" pays tribute to one of the most successful managers in the history of Scottish football, Walter Smith. A winner on the pitch as manager for Rangers and Scotland - and one of the most influential figures off it - Walter Smith was a man whose character won respect across the hard tribal lines of our national game. This documentary reflects on the life and times of a footballing giant; a man of integrity and probity, thoroughly decent, yet not averse to bringing folk down a peg or two with his dry wit. Featuring rare archive, and told with interview contributions from the people who knew him best and who worked with him throughout his long and varied career, we will explore the numerous successes at Rangers, his experiences as a manager in the English Premiership with Everton, his leadership of the Scotland national men's team - and his sensational return to Rangers in 2007. "Walter: A Life in Football" follows the highs and lows of Smith's career, exploring the characteristics that made players, fellow managers and supporters venerate him. Walter Smith was genuinely loved and revered by many, including titans of the game, such as Pep Guardiola and Sir Alex Ferguson.
