  A bit 'Roy of The Rovers', but enjoyable
  
  A nice easy film to follow, enjoyable. Watched when tired and wanted nothing too challenging. Perfect! Good performance from Sean Bean.

  Brilliant movie
  
  Even if you don't like footie, you will love this film. Great story, like 'Billy Elliott', but without the ballet. Silly ending though.
