The Damned United is probably the best football film I've seen. Goal! - the documentary about the 1966 World Cup was very good. I was surprised to find how much I enjoyed The Football Factory.
Bend it Like Beckham....Filmed in my native neighbourhood on a pitch i used to play regularly... Good watch for a quiet day !
Not a film, but this was a great football-related episode of the IT Crowd. [video=youtube_share;45jm32SZ798]http://youtu.be/45jm32SZ798[/video] P.S. that could well be some old footage of the Mighty Rs on the telly at the very start.
Claire Grogan is still looking fresh - I saw her on the One show recently. Everytime I pass through Shadwell on the DLR to work - I want to shout out "Shadwell Army"! Good call Badge - Fire in Babylon is brilliant - used to love that Windies side
Shaolin Soccer - I love Bizarre martial arts films and this is well up there. Kung Fu and football what could possibly go wrong !
I'll have to give that film a watch mate, sounds good. I was lucky enough to see 1 day of a test match against the Windies, must of been early eighties, at The Oval. Our school had a trip to see it and my memories got rather hazy as the old boys supporting the Windies, made our day by shoving us glugs of rum when we asked them. I never knew how to play a sea shell until that day but soon got taught. Happy memories
