Casper..Get down off that bloody goalpost!!! What a film lolOnly a brief interlude within the main body of the film, but the classic encounter between Manchester Utd and Tottenham Hotspur in Kes is surely worthy of mention?.....
Brian Glover deserved an Oscar for his uncanny potrayal of Bobby Charlton!

'A Captains Tale'.A TV programme rather than a film, made about the first "World Cup", in the early 1900s. It was a club event rather than country and England's representatives were either West Auckland or Bishop Auckland (someone gave me the correct answer last time this came up). The played Yooventous in the final.
Not famed for his NE accent, but I think Dennis Waterman was in it.
And of course, BBC kids programme Striker from the mid 70s. The blokes who played Don Brennan (Corrie) and Wally Batty (Summer Wine) were in it.

The one about the first world cup used two streets of northern-style terraced house in west London to stand in for West Aukland. They were built to house railway men in the early C20th; Willesden junction and associated sidings being adjacent. These streets were used a lot by TV companies mainly for adverts. I know this because in 1989-90 I lived in one of them.A TV programme rather than a film, made about the first "World Cup", in the early 1900s.

He never selected them!!Mike Basett for me, it's bloody brilliant, Benson and Hedges is one of the greatest gags in cinema history.
“You gotta get blooded”The Firm, Gary Oldham as the firms leader is ace.
“He’s like a lead violinist..he needs a lirra birra pamperin”Not quite a film but I still love the Graham Taylor fly on the wall documentary An Impossible Job. "Can we not knock it" Makes Mick McCarthy look like Pep Guardiola
Good shout "A weather man, eight small parts and a widow twanky"The Porridge film? Prisoners versus Celebrities (?) match
