Wissenswertes
Footage from the 1979 League Cup Final between Southampton and Nottingham Forest was used. Also filmed at Ipswich Town 31:03/1979 when Ipswich were playing Manchester City in Division 1

Patzer
To correspond with the footage used from the 1979 League Cup final, the Saints players wore replica Southampton kits, featuring yellow shirts and blue shirts. However, not all the players featured in the fictional Saints side had the same strip. While some had the correct kit, featuring a blue band running down the sleeves with yellow Admiral logos, other players wore a shirt that had plain sleeves. Furthermore, a couple of players, including Ian McShane's character, had the wrong typeface for their numbers on the back of the shirts. Admiral had a distinctive font at the time, but a couple of players have plain numbers more familiar with Umbro shirts of the period.

Exactly what the late Adam Faith WAS at that stage!

One of the last films I ever reviewed for the Sydney Sun many years ago. Just on a quarter of a century since, the fondness hasn't grown I have to say!

McShane is passably good as the ex soccer star with a heavy dependence on the frosty brew and who dreams of the big comeback! Nope, this wasn't a biopic of Georgie Best. An adaptation of a Jackie Collins story no less - which should give you some idea of its classical pedigree.

Dear old Adam Faith (pop icon of the early 60's - WHAT DO YOU WANT, POOR ME and for a fortnight, Sunday Mornings' most requested song on the Jean Metcalfe hour.....SOMEONE ELSE'S BAYBEE!) plays Jake Marsh trying to help McShane in his quest. Kind of a BUDGIE role for him!..know wot I mean?

What DOES tag this as a memorable production. Can you believe a seventeen year old Cary Elwes no less as a disco dancer? It was his first screen appearance. Long long way from the London of the 70's to LIAR LIAR and TWISTER!

No great shakes of an Aussie/UK co-production. Think you could be hangin' out for a while waiting for the dvd!
