Football Films

[jimmypbha]

Just been watching Mean Machine with Vinne Jones and was wondering what people's favourite football films or films with a connection with football were.

Also, Vinne Jones in Eurotrip as a Manchesther United fan is hilarious.

Anyone got any favourites?

Football Factory. A film I'll always love for giving me the inspired line, to be used when you're in a drunken state with a young lady you've just met that night and the home strait is in sight;

"I can't wait to see your fanny"


It never lets me down x

How about the worst? Green Street 2, What utter tosh!

Green Street FTW.

You're right it is very funny

i found recent film The Firm to be an unexpected delight, very funny, brilliant references to those of us that were in secondary school in the early 80s. some parts of the story grated and the central bad boy doesn't seem that well, Hard tbh - but still some great performances and an excellent little film.

Why all this praise for the football hooligan film ?. Admiring knuckle draggers whose lives are defined with punching a strangers face iin becuase they wear a different colour shirt. Pathetic.

The best football film for me is " Goal ".

I agree. My choice would be the classic " Escape to Victory "

Not really it would go over your head as it was a way of life once.

Over my head ?. I am touched really as you cannot realise I am 47 and lived through the " glory " days of football hooligaism in the 80's.

I love the way these "old school hooligans" try and give the whole scene some kind of credible history when it is obvious to anyone with a brain cell that it is a bunch of arseholes running about ruining other peoples days. Most of these idiots spend half their lives boozing it down the pub whilst their kids and wife spend most of their time alone with the ocassional smack in the face to let them know they have a husband.

What's worse is the sadarses that still continue it in their forties etc.

Also when they watch these shit films they bang on a bout how great those days were when in fact most of the films try to illustrate what an ultimately shite waste of time it is.

I would agree that Goal was superb. Goal two was very good as well. Was really looking forward to the third until I found out it went straight to DVD and the cast members had ALL changed, including Santiago!! I was expecting it to be really really awful and can say I wasn't disappointed in that respect!!

Same with Green Street, really enjoyed the first one but the sequal was total rubbish.

Keep meaning to see the film 'Cass' has anybody seen it? Is it any good?

have you no taste man!

Green Street is surely one of the most appalling films ever made- the basic plot in itself is fundamentally retarded and the acting even worse; did you hear that prick's attempt at a cockney accent? (can't remember the actors name but he played one of the lead roles). never laughed so hard in my life!

I bet the sequel is absolutely dire
