My old school
The opening scenes of this movie are shot at my old school. It used to be known as Annes Road Junior School but has since moved up market and is no referred to as Annes Grove. I'ts a primary school although it's depicted in the movie as a seconday (high) school. The pub they head off towards is the Shakespere but when they get inside it is transformed into another pub all together. These inaccuracies aside, the thing that miffs me the most is that were never allowed to leave school by that particular gate, we had to walk around the school. Sad to say that at 45 years old I'm still traumatised by that small restriction.

As for the movie, it's not really fiction, I grew up with these people, although they may have exaggerated the typical crowd size for a Blades match. By the way, respect to Tony Currie.

Trivia

Sean Bean's character is based on writer-director Maria Giese's husband who also hails from Bean's hometown of Sheffield in the north of England.

Goofs

During the football season in question, 1995/1996, Sheffield United were in the first division. This is confirmed by a scene in the betting shop where Sheffield United appears on a betting board for Division 1 sides. However, regularly during the film, Sheffield United play Premiership teams Arsenal and Leeds United in December, an impossibility given Sheffield United's division unless these are League Cup matches. The FA Cup semi-final, played at Bramall Lane in the film, would not be held there; all FA-Cup semi-finals are played at a neutral ground.
