Another Bit Of Fun(part two) - Arcane Astral Aeons - 24-09-2018
no cheating
remember the film Escape To Victory?
can you name all the players that actually played the game at the finale?
Stallone Don`t Count Cause He Was A Dumb Yank
and (My Name is) Michael Caine
and just for fun name the subs
RE: Another Bit Of Fun(part two) - Beefy 1965 - 24-09-2018
Bobby Moore and the great Pele were in there for sure
Cant forget the strong Scottish accent of John Warke either,
The only other two I remember were Mike Sumerbee the Man City full Back because I thought what the F*** is he doing in the team and our Ossie !!
RE: Another Bit Of Fun(part two) - bomberbrown1968 - 24-09-2018
Russell Osman was in there somewhere as was our Ossie

There were a couple of European players in there as well but can't remember their names. Interesting (not) fact, the movie was just called "Victory" over here, no idea why though!!

actually it was called Victory to start with
John Houston the director changed it`s title to Escape To Victory
no idea why
but it was a good movie
just for that "Injured" Pele`s overhead kick

Everybody's favourite footy film.
Kazzy Deyna was in it, classy Polish midfielder who proper Man City fans might remember.
The recently deceased Kevin Beattie was Michael Caine's double.
According to Wikipedia (only cheated to check the above) apparently Zoltan Gera was in it too...didn't know he was that old!

Gordon Banks was the goalkeeping coahc brought in to help Stallone play his role, judging by the way he ended up looking on screen I assume that was after Banks had lost an eye in his car crash!!!

Yes, but this game was before Germany were the masters of penalties!!!!
RE: Another Bit Of Fun(part two) - Arcane Astral Aeons - 25-09-2018
having just watched the film
what a shocking penalty at the end
seriously
and how come Pele suddenly overcame his cracked ribs to score that overhead?
