In the late 1990s, a local kitchen worktop tycoon and multimillionaire named George Reynolds saved Darlington Football Club from extinction.
Initially, he was hailed as a saviour, but within the space of just five years - Reynolds loaded the club with debt, made a series of high-profile transfer failures, and built a bizarre football stadium that was among England's largest outside of the Premier League.
So in this documentary, HITC Sevens takes a look back at the life of George Reynolds, the ridiculous 25,000 seater stadium that he built, and the legacy that both he and it have had on Darlington FC.
