No 10.
Soccer Dog.....Probably the worst film ever...ever...Dog by name, Dog by nature
No 9.
Soccer Mom...Released in Sept 2008...You can almost smell how bad it will be.....
No 8.
Bend It like Beckham
Feel good West London flick, featuring ladies players and highlighting the cultural differences in modern day Britain....a finale as predictable as England getting knocked out of the World Cup in the quarter finals to either Germany or Portugal.
No7.
Goal...South American Santiago Munez turns up on Tyneside to play for the Toon....glossy movie, unfortunately NUFC believed in it and signed numerous no hopers on the back of it.......anybody signed since 2005 really.
No 6
Escape to Victory...Totally (un)believable World War II movie starring Michael "Wait till you see the whites of their eyes" Caine as an agile "40 something" captain. Sly Stallone as the keeper was stupifying, and then to cap it off by building a team containing Pele, John "The Tash" Wark, Mike Sumerbee and Kazi Denya...need I go on...if you're 13 and under, a ripping yarn....14+ "Eh?"
No 5
Fever Pitch...Colin Firth stars as "The Arse" pinch the title in the most dramatic way possible...(Andy D, please post video footage of Brian Moore's majestic commentary) . Steve McMahon putting the "1 minute finger up" is brilliant, as John Barnes loses possession and the rest is history ....football at it's fantastic finest.
No 4
Gregorys Girl...Classic Scottish movie featuring Clare "Altered Images" Grogan and played on an all weather pitch in Cumbernauld unbelievable hair styles (kids you don't know how lucky you are not growing up in 1978)....if you can get it on DVD or video, watch it...a dated cracker.
No 3
Purely Belter....as a Geordie, I feel a bit of a traitor not putting this higher, however, this does have it's darker moments. A top movie, featuring Gerry and Sewell, the lines are superb and stars Alan Shearer.....a gritty and realistic reflection of working class life in the North.
No 2
There's Only One Jimmy Grimble...A film about a young Man City supporter in a school full of Man U fans, it twists and turns your emotions. Featuring the immortal line "Give it to Bloody Gordon!" and starring Ray Winston as a Cockney City fan......he did enough to convince a Cockney very close to my heart, to devote himself to the Blue side of Manchester.
No 1 Golden Gordon Barnstoneworth!....Barnstoneworth!....
Michael Palin's epic story from 1935 is THE EVEREST that all must conquer!
