Playing Away

An adaption of Kevin Sampson's novel Awaydays is released at cinemas this spring. The film follows the character Paul Carty as he is delved in a world of football, friendship and fashion.

Awaydays could be seen as your typical dark and gritty football hooligan film but thankfully without Danny Dyer and his "let's have it" attitude. The book has a large cult following and I expect the film to have same with the blend of culture that made Sean Meadows' This is England a success.

Another football that I apologise for not having mentioned is a brilliant The Damned United. Here's a little clip from the film about the legend Brian Clough.
