Tottenham Hotspur Commemorate Victory on DVD

The 2008 Carling Cup Final, was perhaps the most anticipated in years, as two of London’s biggest clubs, both at the peak of their form, battled it out for the honour. But with Tottenham edging to victory over Chelsea, following a nine year trophy drought, there is set to be huge demand for the official DVD release which reaches retail on 24th March.

With full match coverage and a host of bonus material, as well as celebrations and interviews, The Carling Cup Final 2008 DVD will be a welcome addition to many of Tottenham Hotspurs’ 5,000,000 worldwide fans.

90,000 fans were packed into Wembley to witness the occasion, and despite going into the game as the bookies’ underdog, Spurs started as a team destined for glory. Despite conceding against the run of play, the game never looked beyond reach, and Berbatov responded from the penalty spot to bring the teams’ level, taking the match to extra time.

The winning goal came from a new face in the Spurs’ lineup as Jonathan Woodgate, playing only his forth game for the club, rose above the Chelsea goalkeeper to send the crowd into delirium and Ledley King up the steps to collect the long-awaited trophy.

Speaking of the DVD release, ILC Media’s Sales Director Andrew Palmer stated:

“Matches like this are the reason we got into football content distribution. It was a terrific occasion, and it will be treasured by Spurs fans for years to come. We have no doubt that the title will perform extremely well in retail, as Tottenham clearly has the consumer fan base to make the title succeed.”
