Optimistic Nut 496 Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 Was skimming through all my old taped VHS videos having a clearout, when I came across this f*cking classic of a TV football film that was shown on ITV in 1999. Starred Tim Healy, and also had Nick Hancock, Ralph Ineson (Finchy off The Office), Ralf Little and a few old stars off Corrie (including the man who is the Banker on Deal or No Deal who plays a legend of a character called Alan Hardy. Can anyone remember this? The sloping pitch, the coach driver, the gay paedophilic physio, the poet Scottish centre-forward, and the young Peter Beardsley kicked out of the club for not being good enough. One of the all-time classics for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it the same one where they play a side and the pitch is almost vertical?! 135537[/snapback] Aye, the famous "sloping pitch" played on a hill. Alan Hardy: "We're playing against eleven men and *BEEP*ing Isaac Newton!" Tim Healy: "I've never heard so much *BEEP*ing *BEEP* in all my *BEEP*ing life." AH: "Second half just shoot from any *BEEP*ing where and we'll score" TH: "Do you wanna *BEEP*ing manage this team?" AH: "Yes!!" TH: "Well I'm the *BEEP*ing manager God help me and you all do what I *BEEP*ing say" AH: "Nobody understands a *BEEP*ing word, you *BEEP*ing say" Classic.

Optimistic Nut 496 Posted May 13, 2006 Author Share Posted May 13, 2006 (edited) And the club nickname "The Underfeltmen" where they got paid their "bonuses in carpet glue in order to avoid tacs". ITV has to repeat this sometime. Mike Bassett was a clear rip-off of it. Edited May 13, 2006 by Optimistic Nut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut 496 Posted January 8 Author Share Posted January 8 Bump. Still the greatest football film I've ever seen, though a bit on the money with physio. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
