Getting bored waiting for the new season to start? Fed up reading about transfer speculation that goes nowhere?
If so, why not catch up on a few football related films.
The Facebook page of a charity raising website I manage has been running a series highlighting such films.
We have now looked at eleven and will probably have highlighted between 15-20 before season kick off.
These have been popular with fans around the country who have taken a peak.
If interested at checking out go to www.*advertising*.co.uk and click on the Facebook link.
Have a great year back in the PL but try not to beat my team BHA. I certainly hope to get to Villa Park again.

The link isn't about football films?
The best I can think of, off the top of my head, is The Damned United.
Considerjng rge popularity of the sport, there are relatively few decent football films. I can think of more baseball films that I enjoy and I don't even like baseball. Boxing seems to be the best sport for cinema.

I quite liked the film adaption of Fever Pitch. No great love for Arsenal but I think it goes beyond that, particularly the book.

Good old Gregory's Girl. Not really a football film but I always thought those scenes in Kes with the PE class were very authentic. I can also recall that 80's TV series The Manageress.

The first ‘Firm’ with Gary Oldman as Bex was good.
There’s a scene I think was filmed at Selhurst Park, where you can hear Villa chants in the background.

Not a football film but I have a vague recollection as a kid in the '70's watching a series called "Striker" about a kid joining a junior football team on the sly 'cos his dad was a failed pro footballer all bitter and twisted and not wanting his son to follow in his footsteps. Or I might have dreamt that - i've been to bed since

Not a film , but a TV series from the 80's, Murphy's Mob. I remember watching it , but couldn't tell you now if was any good.

If we're including tv shows what about Jossie's giants?
