Green Street Hooligans

Lexi Alexander's take on football hooliganism is the violence-filled story of Matt Buckner (Elijah Wood) who gets involved in the 'Green Street Elite', a West Ham United football firm. Green Street Hooligans sheds light on the extreme fan fights and the electrifying atmosphere during football where brawls are a common thing.

#6 Fever Pitch

Fever Pitch
Romance and football come together in this 1997 movie

This 1997 movie directed by David Evans is a loose adaptation of Nick Hornby's novel Fever Pitch: A Fan's life. The story surrounding Arsenal's 1988/89 season where they won the First Division title is brought into focus along with the character of Paul Ashworth, a teacher, played by Colin Firth, who is obsessed with football.

The final game of the season against Liverpool where a last minute goal gave Arsenal the victory needed to clinch the title is outlined brilliantly.
