Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis film, as was common with similar newsreel-style documentaries of the period, contains no live sound whatsoever. Everything you hear consists of sound effects added in post-production, from crowd noise and traffic to every kick of the ball. Occasionally when someone on screen can be seen to shout something, gibberish approximating the mouth movements has been dubbed over.

Featured review
Excellent Film
Very good film indeed that I have watched many times. I actually appear in it (very briefly indeed) and attended all the ten games in London. I won't give it the full ten stars because of its tendency to artiness and its failure to show more of the goals but it's well worth seeing.
Re Brian's comment, the point of which I don't really understand, it's true that the Scots won at Wembley the following year (is "thrashed" the right word for 3-2?) and proclaimed themselves World Champions on the strength of it but what goes around comes around. Shortly afterwards Northern Ireland beat them and then lost to England. So, using the same warped logic, we got it back! Don't believe a word of it, though.
