I loved that film as a kid, probably not seen it in 20 years mind you. And "The greatest game ever played" LOVE Jimmy Grimble and soundtrack. Must have been about the time my boy started boys club/schools football and the film captures so much of that. Loved the overbearing parent on the sidelines always shouting "Give it to Gordon! Give it to bloody Gordon!" Similar age I'd guess and just full of small and big laughs, Mike Bassett - England Manager. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wee Mikey Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 My vote goes for "Offside".

luckyBatistuta Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 Greater...The story of Brandon Burlsworth, possibly the greatest walk-on in the history of college football. Can’t believe I just remembered this movie. I’m obviously a bit more biased about this film as it’s an NFL related one and also relates to the team I follow. Please don’t make the mistake of dismissing it though just because you aren’t a fan of the sport. It really is a great movie. You won’t regret it, honestly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
