The extraordinary story and fairytale rise of Swansea City under John Toshack.

Q&A with producers Laurence Mora, Dan Harris and very special guest.
Sesiwn holi-ac-ateb gyda'r cynhyrchwyr Laurence Mora, Dan Harris a gwestai arbennig iawn.

In the late 70s, Swansea City, a club struggling at the wrong end of the football league, pulled off an audacious move to sign one of football’s top players - Wales and Liverpool legend John Toshack - as their new player manager.

What happened next is fairytale stuff as Tosh led the team from the bottom of the fourth division to the first division in five years.

Tosh is Eat Sleep Media's first in-house documentary film and is produced in association with Focus Shift Films and Kaleidoscope Film Distribution.

Yn niwedd y 70au fe lwyddodd Dinas Abertawe, clwb oedd wedi disgyn i berfeddion y gyngrhair, i arwyddo un o chwaraewyr gorau ei genhedlaeth - arwr Cymru a Lerpwl John Toshack - fel ei chwaraewr/rheolwr.

Stori dylwyth teg oedd hi wrth iddo fynd â'r clwb o waelod y bedwaredd i dop yr adran gyntaf o fewn pum mlynedd.

Awdur 90 Minutes of Freedom

Can football be used to help rehabilitate prisoners and reduce reoffending? Oes modd defnyddio pêl-droed er mwyn adsefydlu carcharorion? Football is a big deal in Welsh prisons. Whether it's on the concrete yards for 5 a side: prison wing versus prison wing or on the 3G with David Dein's Twinning Project training the coaches of the future. It could even be the grass pitches of Monmouth with the only prisoner football team in Wales to play in a community league, players will always turn out to play. It is this ability to use sport as tool of engagement, and to use football as a way to improve behaviour that makes it stand out. Find out more about football behind bars with those who've experienced it.

Mae pêl-dreod yn bwysig iawn yn y carchar. Boed ar y concrid ar gyfer 5 bob ochor, bloc yn erbyn bloc neu ar y 3G yn hyfforddi hyfforddwyr y dyfodol. Hyd yn oed ar gae go iawn yn Sir Fynwy lle mae'r unig dîm carchar yng Nhymru yn chwarae yn y gymuned, bydd chwaraewyr wastod yn troi allan i chwarae. Yr hyn sy'n sefyll mas yw grym y gêm i helpu gwella ymddygiad. Dewch i glywed mwy am bêl-droed y tu ôl i ddrysau caeedig gan y sawl sy wedi 'bod yna.'
