Miscellaneous: After seeing the image of his dead brother in the crowd, Jimmy heads on a Mel Sterland long ball, which appears to be crossed from the half-way line or even further into Sheffield United's half.

A nice, light, feel-good movie with good acting., 23 August 2000
Author: nz man from New Zealand

This is "Rocky", English football style. The plot is predictable, but so what? It is about doing the best that you can, learning from your mistakes, and having courage to change things for the better. A good flick and well worth watching.
