Where do I start? I finally found a stream on line to watch this,wish I hadn't tbh, You first see Jimmy aged 16 leaving school, no prospects, no hope blah blah, Jimmy dreams of football stardom and his dopey brother heads for the pits, so far so dull, His father has issues and his mum and sister are down trodden. Jump forward a few years and Jimmy has turned into a man in his thirties supposedly in his twenties, and his football dreams have nearly passed him by. Up steps Pete Postlethwaite out of no where and gets him a trial at Sheff Yoo just like that, and guess what he gets a second trial, but he blows it, having spent the night before with a stripper(dont ask). He also loses his brother in a mining accident But he gets a second chance (as you do) and guess what, he is offered a contract! Sheff Yoo are playing Man Utd in a cup semi and guess what, jimmy is named sub. Something so huge in Jimmy's and his families lives that non could be even bothered going to the big match, mates and dad watching it in the pub,mum and sis on Tv,what? Jimmy comes on at half time, starts badly, sees his dead brother in the stand, lays on a goal and then scores himself to level the score, then last minute Sheff yoo get a penalty (jimmy fouled and injured) and who does the captain let take the pen? You guessed it,Jimmy. The tension is bearable as Jimmy scores to give Sheff yoo the win, cue scenes of joy in the pub and at Jimmy's house, they are so happy they couldn't even be bothered to be there. It's understandable why S Bean signed up for this as he is a Sheff yoo fan, but Emily Lloyd? Was she that desperate? It's a shocker, and can see why it's never shown on TV.
