Interview with Harlow Town manager Ian Wolstenholme after the team's success against Leytonstone.

In November 1979, football players enter the pitch watched by enthusiastic supporters. Scenes of play including goals and the crowd. At the end of the game, the crowd spills onto the pitch as the players leave. Interviewed by Anglia Television sports reporter Steve Rider, Harlow Town manager Ian Wolstenholme reflects on the team's experience in the past season. They were dispirited at first, but gradually built up to this fantastic performance. He says that support from the town is increasing from general apathy as the club has become more professional. A player in hospital for cartilage treatment received enquiries about the team from hospital staff who would not attend a match. He reflects on the league status of the teams they have played.
