What a glaring inaccuracy ianlouisiana! This was written by Julie WELCH, NOT Julie Burchill - completely different person, albeit a journalist. I believe Burchill wrote for the music press originally before going on to work in other fields. Get your facts right!Also IMHO this is not a patch on P'tang Yang Kipperbang; nowhere near as good in any way, shape or form. Absolutely NOT! In fact it's pretty crap all round with a fifth rate cast. A waste of everyone's time and no I don't support a rival team or have any particularly strong views on football. It's on Film 4 on a Monday afternoon and it's BORING! Furthermore it is inaccurate in saying that Spurs were the first team to win the 'double' as Preston North End had done so in the previous century and another club also had;their name escapes me.

Film 4 made a number of simple but beautifully observed pictures in the years immediately after the launch of the channel, but which no-one makes any more. This is an excellent example, a perfect companion to the more famous P'Tang Yang Kipperbang.Quite why this is so overlooked is difficult to understand - could it be that (with some bitter irony) a film that has a sub-theme of discrimination against women in football is itself ignored because its a film based around a group of girl football fans? Or could it be that people are put off because its a "football film", or about one club?Whatever the reason is, its a shame as this is a little gem. A perfect evocation of what it is to be young, as well as being a sports fan. Iit captures the feel of early 60s perfectly, before the decade began to swing. But above all its about friendship. What it isn't about is football (or even, come to that, girls) - that is almost incidental, a core to build the story around.Above all this is a warm, happy, gentle, perfectly paced film that would appeal to just about anyone of any age. Even Arsenal fans!

I have seen this movie many times and it never fails to impress with its accurate reflection of the times. The actors are all spot-on, especially the younger ones. I was a young girl during this period and can guarantee that this was how it was for us. I watch it these days with a sigh, remembering that in those days, life was so straightforward for us. Danny Blanchflower, Bill Brown, Peter Baker, Ron Henry, Maurice Norman, Dave McKay, Cliff Jones, Bobby Smith, the late John White (tragically struck by lightening whilst playing golf) Terry Dyson and Les Allen - these were legendary names when being a footballer meant a devotion to the sport rather than to one's income. Plus, it's always wonderful to revisit Spurs when they were Giants! (Once a Spur - always a Spur!) This movie for me is a companion piece with Jack Rosenthal's "Ptang Yang Kipperbang" which was also based on young teens of that era. (and was also superb)

I remember watching this on Channel 4 when i was young.I really loved it and I watched it so many times that i knew it word for word and even started to eat brown sauce with every meal.unfortunately the video tape wore out years ago.As a Tottenham supporter I may be a little biased but I think that this is a wonderful film reflecting on the days when football was at it greatest,and watching it through the eyes of a young girl gave an insight to how life really was like in the 1960s.I would certainly recommend to anyone that they watch this film regardless of which team they support.I am trying to find a copy of this film and I look forward to watching it again with my own children.
