Roger,
Reading your review of the film Goal I noticed you mentioned that the Newcastle United manager has been written as German and is played by a Romanian instead of being the usual Colm Meany/Bob Hoskins role you might expect. That's actually one of the many fictual items in the film since a proportion of managers in the British premiere league are of an international origin. Oddly enough though, the real current Newscastle manager is British -- Glenn Roeder was born in Essex ...
Take care,
Stuart.
Good to see you spell checked that before sending it!
