Jimmy Grimble

[Slicker than Sommeil]

Remember going to watch that film with some mates, when there was a cinema in between the MEN and Victoria station. It was great spotting all the landmarks around Manchester. Victoria Place in Ancoats, Angel Meadow Wright Robbie High School. My favourite scene is when they show a shot of inside the stadium and the track from the echo and the Bunnymen is playing. It just seem to sum up the mood at the time on how I felt about being a Blue!

I want it now
I want it now
Not the promises of what tomorrow brings
I need to live in dreams today
I'm tired of the song that sorrow sings

And I want more than I can get
Just trying to, trying to, trying to forget

That is a class song.

brilliant scene in this where the ref who is the teacher from the opposite school heads the ball in the net - " goal, deflection off the referee" - class

Best moment in film history.

Didn't this come out right in the peak of our lower league days aswel?
Just remember the classic football dad 'Give it to Gordon, give it to Gordon!'

Came out in 2000 when in the old second division, but filmed in 1999 when in the old third division. My mate Garry buys a programme off the old blind fella.

I'd have smacked him one whilst he wasn't looking and nicked them all.

nah it was autumn 99 it was filmed, we'd been promoted.
The actual city match scene when Ray Winstone takes Jimmy was the night match in Oct 99 (Ipswich? I think!)


When theyre playing their cup final at the end, you can see me in the main stand! claim to fame eh ;)

So was I mate!!
