Film about Stoke City kitman claims BAFTA

Stoke City have won a BAFTA award for a film about legendary kitman Neil Baldwin.

'Marvellous' is the story of Baldwin who went from being a circus clown to life in the changing rooms at the Britannia Stadium.

The drama, which aired on BBC Two, landed a BAFTA for 'Best Single Drama' on Sunday after touching the hearts of the UK public.

Baldwin, who has learning difficulties, was appointed as kitman by then-Potters boss Lou Macari in the 1990s who claimed he was the best signing he ever made.
