Rise of a footsoldier
Discussion
Is that the film with 'Physique' (character from TV 'London's Burning') kicking off in the Little Chef - and later in Pizza Hut?
Funniest thing I've seen for ages.
As for the thuggery - apparently well documented. Treatment and F Troop had quite a reputation in the seventies, followed by the InterCity Crew in the eighties iirc.
There's a couple of films about the Rettendon Murders - this being one of them.

Yes ....it was rather strange seeing old faces from the TV "soaps" playing in these roles of extreme violence.Funniest thing I've seen for ages.

Spoilt it a bit for me as I found difficulty divorcing them from the rather more "gentle" roles and persona they played on TV.
A bit like Vin Diesel playing the role of Dougal in Father Ted.
Re. The football violence .....I knew about that but I imagined it to be more in the nature of a "good old fashioned ruck"rather than the hammer and machete wielding nutters portrayed.

This film is garbage yet for reasons i dont understand i own a copy on DVD and enjoy watching it. It's the one film guaranteed to make my wife roll her eyes if i put it on though.
My understanding is that Carlton may have embellished certain things in his book (but most who give an opinion seem to dislike the guy) and in turn things were changed to produce a film script. I thought the axe to the head on the tube happened though. Not sure about all the stuff with the Turkish mob etc though.
