I definitely didn't ever imagine that being possible when I first saw Green Street...especially considering Sons wasn't even in existence at the time. He is a quality actor though, his role in Children of Men albeit brief was pretty impressive too, and he has done very well in Sons.

You don't even recognise him in CoM. Hunnam is absolutely superb in that role. He's a brilliant actor.

Not a hell of a lot of football in it though :lol:

Too much fighting, not enough football!

Who would have thought that the bloke on the right would have ended up in Sons of Anarchy.

Maybe in 10-20 years the MLS will have reached a point where the sport has the cultural significance and relevance for Hollywood to produce high-budget films.


With the history and cultural significance of football in places such as Europe and Latin America during important and fascinating historical moments the stories are definitely out there, I mean there are some incredible stories out there. No sport has such a cultural and political importance as football, if a Hollywood studio was willing to take a risk with the financing, it wouldn't be hard to produce a quality screen play that could strike it big imo.

Game of their lives wasn't too bad, remember stumbling upon that on TV one time. The Goals are all pure drivel though, can't stand them.

Mean machine doesn't count because it's just a rip-off of The Longest Yard.


Mean Machine proved that the UK can completely f**k up American movies in exactly the same manner that the US can f**k up British sit-coms.

Awful, awful movie.

"The World Cup - A Captain's Tale" is a fantastic one, once you get past professional Cockney Denis Waterman trying to be a Geordie.

Bloody years since I've seen this - skip past the first 3 1/2 minutes of junk in the 60s.

Also, if Gregory's Girl counts, do we count The Heartbreak Kid?

If the film is about teen angst and just happens to include some football, it's hardly a 'football movie'.

Also was given a film on the East German team from the 1974 World Cup, it was in German, but with sub-titles it was still fantastic!
