I fucking love you Gumbo
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.
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.
Personally I'm still fond of Sean Bean's masterwork, When Saturday Comes (before he was contractually obliged to die in everything). Not least because I was in the crowd as they filmed the climatic scene where he scores the winning penalty against Manchester United at Bramall Lane, and also because I like Pete Postelthwaite.
