On the last day of the 1989 football season, Arsenal and Liverpool, the two teams vying to win the league, played each other. Going into the game the margins couldn鈥檛 have been tighter 鈥� Arsenal needed to win by two goals to clinch the title. In the final seconds of the match, they did. 鈥業t鈥檚 up for grabs now!鈥� proclaimed the dumbfounded commentator Brian Moore as Michael Thomas charged through the midfield at Anfield to seal the most dramatic league win of all time.

Leading composer and life-long Arsenal fan Mark-Anthony Turnage supplies the musical alternative to Brian Moore鈥檚 iconic commentary, capturing the intense rollercoaster of highs, lows, desperation and elation every sports fan lives and breathes.

John Parricelli (Loose Tubes), Peter Erskine (Weather Report) and Laurence Cottle (Earthworks) form a star-studded rhythm section to join the 蜜芽传媒 Symphony Orchestra in Turnage鈥檚 composition, which combine his personal experiences and memories as an ardent supporter, with musical nods to the likes of goalscoring hero Michael Thomas and the late David 鈥楻ocky鈥� Rocastle, who started in this iconic match, to whom the piece is dedicated.

After the music, Arsenal legend Lee Dixon leads a discussion about the game and its cultural impact.
