Making ‘The Impossible Job’: FourFourTwo's inside story from the men involved

English
Standfirst: 
When Graham Taylor granted TV cameras full access to his England camp in 1993, little could he have predicted the furore that followed. FFT went behind the scenes of the film that hung the beleaguered boss out to dry with his ‘Taylorisms’ – and ruined the career of his right-hand man

Pull quotes: 

The Impossible Job also went on to win an award from the Royal Television Society and, years later, was voted by industry peers as one of the top 50 documentaries of all time

I don’t remember him giving us an option about whether we could appear and I didn’t know he was miked-up in training

- Carlton Palmer

Taylor watches in despair as Ronald Koeman somehow escapes a red card for a professional foul on David Platt and, then, minutes later, scores a free-kick at the other end

But there was lots the cameras didn’t see. I didn’t allow them into meetings where Phil and I discussed players’ abilities and team selections. He had plenty to say then

- Taylor on Phil Neal

The small, wireless recording device would allow the crew to capture Taylor at all times, even on the touchline during matches

Television channels weren’t interested in The Worst Job In The World but, with access to the England coach already secured, Chrysalis decided to focus the idea solely on him

Although many assumed him to have been the victim of a TV stitch-up, Taylor himself had been complicit in almost every detail of the project

We’re all over the f***in’ shop… they’ve done EVERYTHING we told them not to do!

- Taylon, in-film
