    I could've sworn he was based on my old PE teacher. He used to tell us he played for Charlton and made over 50 appearances, which was bollocks of course............

    Indeed, if you speak to anybody in Barnsley they’ll tell you they were in the film, even if they weren’t born when the film was made.”

    Quite true. I heard many claims, but one was a sports teacher in the rival school in Wath who was adamant. Made me scrutinise the film twice and I was sure he was bullshitting!
