Ok so here is a quick mock up of an idea i had for the second piece in this series. I was in two minds whether to go for the line “Hitting them on the break” but in the end i thought this worked better. Let me know if you prefer the other line though as i can always do another version etc.
The player in question is the films unsung hero i.e. the goalkeeper who gives up his spot to Hatch by having his arm broken, hence the plaster cast.

Tony Lewis was the character name, im reliably informed by Wikipedia. Whilst looking at that same page it says Michael Caine had a stand-in pro called Kevin Beattie, turns out he played 4 times for the Boro, who knew?
Ipswich’s Kevin O’Callaghan wasn’t it? No idea of his character name in the film.
