At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

This is a important film for me personally as it some scenes are in my neighbors garden and one scene shows me in my pram and a real trip down memory lane because i have walked up and down the streets as a kid and recognize so much,went to see it on large screen at the Salford film festival and far better.a fantastic social history film featuring the fields next to the Manchester ship canal and a glimpse of st Cathrine's church where i was christened and is no longer there along with the Barton power station chimneys. So glad my dad told me about this film its a walk back in time for me and all residents of Barton showing how its changed.

This film will appeal to many UK residents of a certain age, who can remember the Saturday morning cinema clubs and this Children's Film Foundation offering is one of the classics of those heady 60's years.Shot entirely on location in Manchester and Salford this film offers a glimps of a time and an age of innocence long since lost. A simple but well crafted story about the fortunes of a group of local kids whose lives revolve around their passion for football (soccer for those American members).I had the good fortune of being able to buy this on dvd recently as part of a series of Childen's Film Foundation releases - well worth it!
