I liked Jimmy Grimble. What was that film where Ray Winstone played a dodgy manager? It wasn’t a great fim, but I liked it because it was gritty and I reckon it was probably quite true to what football is really like.

Benson and Hedges always make me laugh in Mike Bassett.

Tonkers goal in Mike Bassett makes me laugh.

Shaolin Soccer - a Stephen Chow hong kong comedy about football.

Very over the top and ridiculous but that's the point with his films.

Alan Clarkes The Firm with Gary Oldman. One of the original football hooligan films. Some great one liners it.

Youseff gets his face slashed and when copper asks his name at the hospital he gives a false name - Michael Jackson. Coppers reply "Looks like youre going to be needing some more plastic surgery, Michael"

No one particular scene but the acting and the screen relationship between Michael Sheen and Timothy Spall - who play Clough and Taylor - in The Damned United is superb.

Yes, I think that’s probably one of the better football films. I liked the scene where Leeds turned up for a cup match at Derby and Revie iblanked Clough - dunno how close to the truth it was, but, as a confirmed Revie hater, it was what I wanted to be true.

if anyone is going to watch this, do the subtitled version rather than the awful American dubbed version

Porridge - Fletcher and Godber being 'forced' to escape from prison against their will during a football match and trying to get back in.

All In The Game. Great film. Must try and watch that again.
