Gemmill 35604 Posted May 3, 2006 Author Share Posted May 3, 2006 Better penalty saver than the Irishman though. That's not even in question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Papa Lazaru 0 Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 And originally Sly wanted it to end with him scoring the winner, but they said that wouldn't happen, or so the story goes. Anyway whilst people may say its not saying much, its the second best footy film behind the excellent Shaolin Soccer, all the others i've seen are invariably shite!

rikko 20 Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 Shaolin Soccer is easily the best football movie ever. If you've seen kung fu hustle its not too dissimiliar to that in terms of style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pele scored all his and saved all of Sly’s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manc-mag 1 Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 Anyone attending the 5-a-side in the summer, Gemmill is now only a few lbs off being an exact ringer for Caine. Incidentally, how was Von Steiner sposed to have "played for Germany in 1938"? He must have been 60 in 1940-odd when the film is set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walliver 0 Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 Shaolin Soccer is fantastic, much better than Kung Fu Hustle I reckon. A Shot At Glory is the best 'real' footie film - Ally McCoist playing an ex-Celtic legend ? Genius ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckyluke 1 Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 They didn't win! 'Escape' to victory my arse! The England vs Germany legends (although does the guy who played Simon Wicks really count as a 'legend'?) match was great, despite the result. Boris Johnson, now there's a legend.
