Escape to Victory

Ipswich players involved must have had a busy schedule that year as they won the EUFA cup and reached FA cup semi in '81. They had a great team under Bobby Robson and maybe should have had more success.

My childhood girlfriend at the time had a mad crush on Russell Osman. We saw the film 4 times.

Watched it this morning for nostalgic reasons I suppose. Forty years old now? Great to see Bobby Moore again and Buzzer with jet black head of hair. Totally unbelievable but harmless. I quite enjoyed it apart from Stallone being a total cock
