Update on planned James Coppinger documentary
Following a recent pause, production for the documentary reflecting on the career of James Coppinger will resume following investment in the project from musician and passionate Rovers supporter Louis Tomlinson.
After discussions with the club and the documentary’s producer and director Lewis Reeves alongside production company Marshall Communications, Doncaster-born Tomlinson agreed to invest in the documentary.
The significant investment will allow production to move forward once again.
The documentary will look back at Coppinger’s record-breaking 17-year Rovers playing career and examine his new role as head of football operations, with behind-the-scenes access to the man himself.
Initial funding for the project was raised through a supporter crowdfunding scheme with Doncaster-born actor Reeves filming the final days of Coppinger’s playing career. Since then club partners, Red Viking Rail have further supported the project, along with their sponsorship of both the West Stand and academy teams.
“I’m delighted that we can continue with this exciting project and thank Louis immensely for his contribution, which will take the final product to a brand new level,” Reeves said. “I’m more than confident this will be a film that Rovers supporters will love and the chance to celebrate someone so iconic for us all.
“We have some great footage already and I’m really looking forward to adding to that in the weeks to come.”
Coppinger said: “I’m thankful as always to Louis for his investment and I’m looking forward to seeing the finished project. Lewis has had an exciting vision for this since the very start and it’ll be great to see it completed.”
Louis invested on the James Coppinger documentary according to Doncaster Rovers. (30 December 2022)

interview with Louis in the March issue of FourFourTwo magazine 2/2/23
full text under the cut..
by Paul Wilkes
Which was the first match that you ever went to?
I actually got into football quite late, when I started playing at around 11. There were a few Manchester United fans in the family, so the first match I ever went to was an unbelievable first game: the FA Cup fifth round tie against Arsenal in February 2003 – the match when Sir Alex Ferguson kicked the boot and hit David Beckham! My best memories come from Doncaster, who are the only club I support now. We had a fantastic League Cup run in 2005 – we beat Manchester City on penalties, then beat Aston Villa 3-0 and lost to Arsenal on penalties in the quarter-finals. That was my first real low as a football fan. I can remember walking back home absolutely gutted.
Who was your childhood hero and did you ever meet them?
James Coppinger is my club hero – he played at every level and really played for the badge. Everyone in Donny loves him and he’s a great bloke, too. After I got into One Direction, I was lucky to meet him and play alongside him a couple of times in charity games. As a fan growing up watching him, that was amazing. The best person I’ve ever met in football was Pele. I met him about four or five years ago and it was incredible – he had all these stories and we spoke for ages. He was lovely.
What’s been your finest moment playing football?
I played in Soccer Aid and Ronaldinho tried to nutmeg me. I was all over his shirt, giving him no respect, and I just managed to nick the ball off him! There’s a sick picture that I’ve seen of it [right]. The other moment was when I was about 15. I started as a centre-back, but didn’t grow any taller so moved across to right-back and scored the only Sunday League goal I ever scored. I’ll never forget it.
What do you like most about going to the match?
The whole atmosphere, that magic. When you have those experiences as a young lad, there’s an element of nostalgia each time you go inside a football stadium.
Which player do you admire even though they’ve never played for your club?
As some of my family supported Manchester United, I was never allowed to like Thierry Henry, but those grudge matches against Arsenal were amazing. He was a serious player.
Where’s the best place you’ve ever watched a game?
The Bernabeu – it was Neymar’s first ever Clasico for Barcelona against Real Madrid, which was pretty special. It’s one of the bucket list fixtures to go to. When I was young, Doncaster signed me as a reserve player and I went to a pre-season training camp in Portugal. As a supporter of the club, that’s not something you’re normally privy to, so watching how the squad trained and prepared was fascinating.
A few years ago, you filmed a music video with Bebe Rexha on the pitch at the Keepmoat Stadium. What was that like?
It was really important for me in my career. The reason I’m sat here today is because of Doncaster – it’s played a huge role. It’s who I am as a person and it’s what I write songs about. The fact we were able to film the video at the Keepmoat, where I’ve spent many days and evenings, made it so special. It felt appropriate.
What’s your favourite football book?
It’s not a book, but Fourfourtwo! I used to subscribe when I was younger. I’m not a big reader otherwise. I should be, but I’m not.
What’s been your worst experience at a game?
I was playing in a charity match at Celtic Park. I got the ball and turned to my right, then Gabby Agbonlahor came through the back of me and I tore my medial ligament. A combination of the impact and me being very unfit meant I ended up throwing up all over Celtic’s stadium, which I know will please a lot of Rangers supporters.
Have any footballers been to a gig?
Paul Pogba came to a One Direction show once, that’s the one that stands out – he was really sound. I won’t lie, I don’t think many footballers listen to One Direction songs.
Where’s the strangest place you’ve ever met a footballer?
I was in this bar somewhere in South America and, purely by chance, Bryan Robson was there with a few friends. He was a bit drunk. We went straight over and he was nice, but it was one of those times where you think, ‘What is he doing here?!’ [Laughs]
What’s the greatest goal you’ve ever seen live?
I was at Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s debut for LA Galaxy, because I spend some time over in Los Angeles. The LAFC keeper launched the ball upfield and it was cleared back to Zlatan about 40 yards out. He watched it bounce and then smashed it over the keeper’s head, an unbelievable goal. I love him – I like a bit of s**thousery in my footballers, and he’s always had that.
Who’s your current favourite player?
The obvious answer is Erling Haaland, because any fan seeing him rack up the goals this season has been totally in awe. Even if you support Manchester United, you watch him and think he’s superb. But for me, Jude Bellingham. I’m so excited by Jude – he’s been in brilliant form this season, even before the World Cup.
If you could drop yourself into your all-time five-a-side team, who would you be playing next to?
Well, I play at the back, so I want me and Rio Ferdinand. I’d pick Edwin van der Sar, he was a top keeper in his day, then in midfield I’d have Ronaldinho – I grew up loving his football. Up front, I’ll go for Cristiano Ronaldo.
What’s the most important piece of memorabilia that you have?
I had a Doncaster home shirt as a kid that I associate with growing up. A few years ago, I bought the same shirt in my current size – it’s special to me, and when I met Pele I asked him to sign it. That was the pinnacle.
Louis Tomlinson’s solo album, ‘Faith In The Future’, is available to buy now.

The impossible dream
James Coppinger

Sat 8 May ‘21
Niall and Louis both got worked up and wordy about football on twitter as the season wraps up dramatically. Niall, really leaning into the ‘dramatic’ part of that, tweeted his beloved Derby “I’ll always love you even though you’ve broken my heart since the day I was born,” memed himself-- “do it for him” over a wee baby Niall at a Derby game- AND added “barely slept with nerves” and wished the team luck before their game, which was expected to result in them being knocked down to a lower division for next season after a rough year. But they hung onto their spot by their fingernails, to Niall’s joy- “I’ve never experienced anything like that in my life. The most intense 90 mins ever,” he rhapsodized and went into detail about the game (and then bro-ed out a bit with Piers Morgan, gross). With that emotional journey out of the way (after he seriously assured us that his football tweets were in no way sarcastic) he moved on to jokes with/ at the fans, imitating people who would like to know wtf is going on with the Anne-Marie collab he’s been actively teasing since January and talking about longer than that. Anne Marie posted a montage of tweets asking wtf is going on and Niall chimed in, “WHAT IS HAPPENING? are they actually going to collab?” WELL EXCUUUSE US for having some QUESTIONS when you say it’s happening for MONTHS but it never actually comes out!
Louis also had things to say about football, joining the accolades for player James Coppinger as he prepares to retire after 16 years with Doncaster (!!) following their last match of the season tomorrow. “Just want to say a massive congratulations and a massive thank you for everything you've done for the club. A true professional and forever a Donny legend!” says Louis, and “enjoy tomorrow mate!” “Thank you mate,” said Coppinger.
Today in MP filming, Harry is still on the beach but fully clothed this time, and we have pics showing post shoot cheering, clapping and whistling-- are they done? Just done for the day or with that location? Don’t ask me, IDK!
And Liam is looking at the fanart submissions he requested and answered a question from one of his UAs to say, “it can be of anything or anyone! I’d love to see as much of everyone’s artwork as possible! Keep it coming everyone!” Really Liam, anything or anyone? Be careful what you ask for sir but anyway I hope he gets some good stuff and has a fun time laughing about all the shippy stuff that will come in!
#Niall Horan#Harry styles#Louis Tomlinson#Liam Payne#guess what remember how I was soooo bored by yesterday’s holivia content WELL#it turns out there WAS one funny thing about it! the place they’re at is called Blenders In the Grass LMAAAAAO how stupid is that#like Splendor in the Grass… get it… it’s SO BAD and awkward wtffff lol I love it#anyway I hope they enjoyed their smoothies#anne marie#james coppinger#8 may 21#my policeman filming
