Best Films About Football

Yeah, my food was ready so I didn't finish my point.

The point was that it's pretty easy to make a mainstream audience feel good about a little kid playing baseball. The people who play football tend not to be gentlemen. The image that surrounds it is one of violence and thuggery so it's hard to shake that. I would find it interesting if they made a film about Justin Fashanu though.

The Firm, Green Street, The Football Factory.

You just gave me an idea.

Although with the Gareth Thomas film coming out it would be seen as direct competition. But you're right, that would be a great story.

Yeah. It's a sad story which lifts in the middle and then ends in tragedy. They could also use it to make a serious point about homophobia in football and by extension in society.
Or they could just make another film about geezers beating the shit out of each other outside a pub. Either or.

So glad this has reached the second page and no one has mentioned Green Street.

Oh wait, Cocksock has. Typical.

Fucking Cocksock

What royalties can I expect for coming up with the idea? Any kind of executive role?

I'll send you a signed picture of me.
