Well there's always hope, sadly there's no hope of him making it big in films. Another dreadful football film to add to the pantheon. Thank God there's only one of these films. Shearer has a cameo role, that is how low the acting goes. See more Apr 24, 2011 I've now seen this film 5 or 6 on DVD. The first time I saw it I wasn't really watching and so wasn't convinced, but thought it was good. The second time, I watched it seriously ... and thought it absolutely brilliant. For myself, an Englishman who always wanted to be a footballer but without the necessary talent (or any talent), this is a story of dreams come true. Of a home-life that is far from perfect, but with a mother who loves you. And a teacher who used to be a striker at the highest level. How much better can it get? There's great acting from Robert Carlyle, Ray Winstone, Gina McKee and Samia Ghandie; and a brilliant soundtrack reinforcing the emotionally key moments of the film. The side-plots are subtly handled and the ending has made me cry more than once. Wonderful ..... especially if you have always wanted to be a great footballer but never made it, or have been unlucky in love. Recommended. See more Read all reviews
