A has-been, alcoholic former soccer star determines to make a comeback. He gets help from his former girlfriend, now a rock star, and her partner.
The film does not try to be anything it isn't. you can identify with the characters - and it is a snap shot in time when football was in reach and the players were real and not overpaid primadonnas !! McShane is amazing as the alcoholic has been Rod Turner. He shows his acting talent in a range of emotions from his relationship with Alcohol, His co-stars, his on screen father and manager and touchingly with the kids from the convent school. The soundtrack is pure Disco Cheese. The pitches were Mudbaths and the players then all bathed together !! I absolutely loved it - modern of its time - but now a nostalgic time capsule
