Wasn't there also once a film involving Crystal Palace youth players?

I wish people would stop making me feel old by telling me how long ago events were

Classic movie which I never tire of watching often, and yes for once a footy movie that's actually got some authentic footy action in it.

This is one of those cult movies that people will still view and discuss even a hundred years from now, it's just got that x factor whatever that might be.

And many younger forum members probably don't realise just what a force Ipswich were at home and in Europe during the early 1980's, they were a formidable outfit under Bobby Robson with a host of internationals in their ranks.

You can see how good they were with the repeats of The Big Match.
