[OT] Soccer Movie Question
A question for those who know a heck of a lot more about soccer
(football) than this american girl does.... They were showing the 1981 movie "Victory" on TV tonight. I believe it was also known as "Escape to Victory". This was the movie with Michael Caine and Sylvester Stallone set during WW2, where Allied POWs played a soccer match against the German army team in Paris. Anyway, there's a bunch of real players in it, but I've only heard of a few of them (Pele and Bobby Moore). This may be heresy, but I'm wondering how good the ones I don't know were during their playing days.

Osvaldo Ardiles A lovely little Argentine that came to Spurs after playing for Argentina in a World Cup. Very unfortunate for him when we went ot war with the Argentine: as he said his children were effectively English, having been brought up and schooled over here. Eventually he was lent for nine months to a French club. He cam eback. After several more years eh went into management, though I sod not think he was too successful, and last I heard was manager of an east European team. Kazimierz Deyna Soren Lindsted Kevin O'Callaghan Heard of him, that's all. Russell Osman Heard of him, that's all. Co Prins Werner Roth Laurie Sivell Mike Summerbee Manchester City and England, a *long* time ago. Good player. Hallvar Thoresen Robin Turner Paul Van Himst John Wark Ipswich, later Liverpool, a great goal poacher form midfield. Not quite top class. I have not even heard of the others. -- David Stevenson Storypage: http://blakjak.com/sty_menu.htm Liverpool, England, UK Emails welcome Nanki Poo: SI Bp+W B 10 Y L+ W++ C+ I T+ A- E H++ V- F Q P B+ PA+ PL+ SC Minke: SI W+Cp B 1 Y++ L-- W- C+ |

I really enjoyed that film. If the above were the players then the advertising was lying, I am afraid. The time I saw the best players in the world was before the last World Cup where they had an advertisement for Nike. That *was* impressive. Ronaldo, Rivaldo, Beckham, Figo and a couple of others - all in one advert. Mind you, the fun advert was where they had a couple of top players [Beckham, Ronaldo?] playing football against Japanese Sumo wrestlers. It was a hoot! The one in goal just stood there and the ball bounced off! When the sumo guys scored a goal they were throwing themselves in a long glide across the wet pitch - fabulously impressive!! -- David Stevenson Storypage: http://blakjak.com/sty_menu.htm Liverpool, England, UK Emails welcome Nanki Poo: SI Bp+W B 10 Y L+ W++ C+ I T+ A- E H++ V- F Q P B+ PA+ PL+ SC Minke: SI W+Cp B 1 Y++ L-- W- C+ |

I'd like to see that! I never saw that one. I bet it was great! Karen |

If you click on the name of the person you want to find out more about, you go tho his own page. There you can click for more of the personal trivia from "(show more)" after the first few words of the trivia info. I checked a few of these players trivia, and they did list where they'd played and such. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0083284/fullcredits -- Christine in Vantaa, Finland christal63 (at) yahoo (dot) com photos: http://photos.yahoo.com/christal63 |
