Boozing, Betting & Brawling, The Autobiography of Mel Sterland (Autobiography/Personalities)

Product Information

Perhaps as a tidy cashing-in on the pre-Euro ‘96 fever, Sean Bean was rather easily persuaded to take on the role of Jimmy Muir (invariably a “Jimmy”, these types), a hard-drinking, family-loving Sunday League footballer who gave up hopes of a professional career to work in the local brewery. With the Highlander himself, Christopher Lambert, among the producers, this was already destined to be a high-class affair. The Owls were promoted to the Second Division a year later, but Sterland was still very much a fringe player, making just two league appearances. However, he emerged as a regular player in 1980–81, when still only 19 years old, playing 22 league games and scoring once in the Second Division.

They were very difficult times for me and I just thought – that’s it I’m going to do something stupid." Mel Sterland Wilkinson needed warriors and he got one in Sterland, who took to the task at Leeds United with an emotional and a professional commitment. He revelled in the Elland Road atmosphere and played with the sense that every day was the best of his life. There is more archive film of the Sheffield steelworkers, and it is noted that now there is 35% unemployment on the Manor. Resident Tom Ismay, now unemployed, tells about how he has always been a hard grafter. Another resident, Betty Houlden, is interviewed, explaining how her recently deceased husband, who died within 48 hours of retiring, only got a small token after 34 years of working for his firm. Jimmy handles the step up quite comfortably, slamming home the winner on his debut, fulfils the contractually-obliged Sean Bean Arse Shot in the bath afterwards, and then headbutts his jealous captain after Ken wangles Jimmy a trial at First Division Sheffield United.It’s easy to say ‘move on and get on with it’ and I’ve been down the road and it’s difficult.” Boozing Spain Under-21 (4-2-3-1): Tenas 8; V Gomez 5 (Barrenetxea 73), Paredes 7, Pacheco 6, Miranda 6; Blanco 6 (Camello 82), Baena 6 (Oroz 59); Rodri 6 (Riquelme 59), Sancet 5 (Veiga 59), S Gomez 6, Ruiz 5 Manchester United cruise into the lead, the Blades’ No.9 “Dave” does his ankle ligaments, and Dad from Hollyoaks is, predictably, furious at half-time. Twelve pints, eight whisky chasers and one stripper later, Jimmy is making a fool of himself on the Bramall Lane pitch in front of that long-suffering dad from Hollyoaks, who is handed the No-Nonsense Scottish Manager role that football films seem to think is absolutely mandatory. The daughter of Barry Pennington, Louis, is sat in her bedroom sewing, while her brother watches tv. She explains how she is dreading leaving school with little job opportunities and the prospect of being on YTS. Barry Pennington talks about how teenagers want to learn new skills but that there is little opportunity for this, as we see images on the cooling towers at Tinsley and of derelict areas.

Despite being played out of position, Sterland hit the ground running with a goal on his debut against Hamilton Accies although he jokes he never quite nailed his celebration. Mario Balotelli, I noticed, scored with his first touch on his first appearance for Monza. Is this a one off?— William Mata (@journowillmata) March 9, 2021 We start with Young Jimmy Muir: untouchable in the playground, but still liable to receive a clip round the ear from his gambling-addict father. Running out at Ibrox with a full house was absolutely magnificent and it was a pleasure to play for them. I couldn’t believe it when the ball came to me, to be honest, but it was nice to score on my debut.

United’s presumed injury crisis is such that Jimmy’s straight on to the bench for the FA Cup quarter-final at home to Arsenal, and then again for a league game against Leeds (who should be a division above, but those daft Americans won’t care about that, etc), but he’s still waiting for his chance to shine.

Football is a man’s game,” he says [although the film was written and directed by Maria Giese]. “Though women are getting more interested in it now, and they enjoy the matches just as much as we do, but it’s a man’s game for all that. I hope it stays that way – otherwise it will get like American football, where they bring their families and have hamburgers and everything, and that would spoil it for me.”
