In May 1969, Newcastle United hosted Glasgow Rangers in the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup semi-final — and what followed became one of the most infamous nights in British football history.
What should have been a legendary European tie descended into full-scale chaos: 10,000 Rangers fans packed into the Gallowgate End, supporters climbing floodlight pylons, a shocking pitch invasion after Newcastle’s second goal, and violent clashes that spilled into the city centre. The media branded it “The Night Soccer Wept”.
In this documentary, we break down the real story behind the 1969 riot — from the tension in the stands, to the Battle of Gallowgate, to the running fights across the city that forced a complete rethink of football policing in Britain.
