The 47th annual Grierson British Documentary awards saw Channel 4's The Football Club: Artist in Residence win the Storm – Best Arts or Music Documentary category. 

The Football Club (Storyvault Films for Channel 4. Director:  Marcus Plowright) takes portrait artist Tai Shan Schierenberg on a behind-the-scenes journey through the trials and tribulations of a turbulent season at West Bromwich Albion Football Club, during which they fire three managers, a chief executive and a chairman and are, eventually, relegated.

The judges said: "This was a powerful, surprising, uplifting film which celebrated the process of creation with heart-warming and moving results. The jury unanimously loved this film: its spirit and insight - an Arts film which pulled off the trick of being clever which felt neither elitist nor distant."
