I don't think I've even seen 5 fillums about football, but I'll have a try.

1. The Damned United.

2. Bend it Like Beckham.

3. Gregory's Girl (not really about football, I know).

4. The Goalkeeper's Fear of the Penalty.

5. erm, that's it ........

You never seen Escape to Victory?

You missed out "When Saturday Comes" with Sean Bean playing a boozing, womanising, Sheffield Utd fan......oh no, that would be Sean Bean playing um, Sean Bean.

I saw it when I was 10. I thought it was good...when I was 10.

Another one missed was the Scottish one I recently managed to catch during my frequent bouts of insomnia.... The Cup

A plethora of stars in cameo roles.

How can you have missed:

  • The Arsenal Stadium Mystery (1939) featuring stars of the 1937/38 Arsenal championship-winning side in action.
  • Yesterday's Hero starring the excellent Ian McShane, who can play a bit (his dad played for the Accies and ManU).
  • The Goalkeeper's Fear of the Penalty.
  • The World at Their Feet - the one about the 1970 World Cup which just showed the football (no poncy stuff).

Seen Goal on a long haul flight a couple of years ago - it passed the time. Haven't seen the new one about Cloughie - is it any good?

Not a film but Golden Gordon one of Michael Palin's Ripping Yarns. I feel if the central character were real and around today he'd probably be frothing at the mouth and posting on some obscure Fansite.

Hobbs, Oven, Kettle, Franks J., Franks L., Barnsworth............

Half Man Half Biscuit. :wink:

Anyone seen Cass? Fairly sure Frank McAvennie was in the scene set in the Newcastle working mans club. :blink:

You're right about Macca in the social club. Cass is a decent story but the acting was pretty garbage.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Green Street 2. :lol:
