Football was better in the good old days – with Morten Bruun
Football was simply better back when players drank tea in the locker room, had mud under their boots, and mirrored themselves in the people in the stands. Following the screening of the epic portrait film ‘Kenny Dalglish’, CPH:DOX invites you to take part in a nostalgic and insightful conversation with Morten Bruun about the lost era of football.
Based on the story of Sir Kenny Dalglish, the conversation takes us back to the 1970s and 80s. Morten Bruun shares anecdotes and perspectives from a football world that was closer to everyday life – and where the heroes were within reach. Among other things, he talks about the time he ended up at a nightclub in Kolding with the biggest stars of the time: Ian Rush, Kenny Dalglish and Jan Mølby.
A conversation about loyalty, club identity, and the relationship between players and fans. But also about the great stadium tragedies and the commercialization that changed the game forever. Was soccer really better back then, or is it just nostalgia? When was soccer actually at its peak? And why is it always the past we long for?
Morten Bruun is a former professional footballer, journalist, commentator, and author of several books on football. He was part of the European Championship triumph in 1992, won the Superliga in 1994 with Silkeborg, and the cup tournament in 2001. Today, he works as a football expert and analyst at TV 2.
The conversation will be in Danish.
