My top five. Happy to be recommended anything 1, The Firm (original) 2, I.D. 3, Football Factory 4, The Firm (remake) 5, Awaydays To me the original Firm is really the only film I’ve seen that captured the feeling of the terraces as that time. Oldman nails it.

Ok, here's mine: 1. The Damned United 5. An Impossible Job (documentary about Graham Taylor's time as England job and qualifying for the euros in 92.) Added mention:

Oldman nails it. I D is based on real events, the writer is also responsible for the book ‘running with the firm’ which I’ve just finished reading. It’s about his time as an undercover cop with the Millwall bushwackers in the late 80’s. Edited by monkey (22 May 2020 3.03pm)

This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise. |

Was in the spurs end for Spurs away this season and found myself sat next to Bovver from Green Street (actor Leo Gregory). Shook me to my core to see the film was released 15 years ago.

They just used Selhurst Park. Millwall are The Buccaneers instead of Bushwackers and Gary Oldman’s dad says they used to go down the old Kent Road to beat the shyte out of them. I’m not sure a lot of it was filmed in and around selhurst park apart from 2 mins going in through the corner of the Whitehorse and Main stand. Maybe a local pub for the last scene. The main characters lived in Essex.

Am I allowed to extend to small screen footballing dramas? Of which I can only think of two. United that aired in the 1960s ( mostly filmed at Stoke's Victoria Ground). I can't find any footage but I suspect it would appear pretty dire now. The Manageress 1989/90. A better production than United but still unconvincing. Edited by Pete53 (06 Jun 2020 9.12am)
