Bobby Charlton - Manchester United legend

[Polar bear]

Certainly not Bobby Charlton. Can't quite place him, the face does look slightly familiar.

Nothing like him.

Brian Glover in the film Kes

Spot on.
He calls himself Bobby Charlton in the film.
Got the hair right!

He scored the winning goal in Kes. Even though he was the referee.

And the refereeing standards have been going downhill ever since.

A fantastic British book and film. First time I saw it I was rocked on my heels. It was like being there at times.

Shocking ending.

I can't stand Ken Loach.

Trotskyist wanker.

Yep, Brian Glover as Mr Sugden in Kes. He was a teacher in real life too. "Who do you think you are? Bremner?"
I played for the school on that field too.

And in the first episode of porridge.
” I read a book once, green it was”.

Bobby Charlton reads the sellik view.

The Star of the film David Bradley actually went to the school where it was filmed also the author of the book was a teacher there

Shocking ending.

And all too real. Poverty, awful jobs and housing conditions. It feels like we're going backwards

A lesson also for anyone who pockets the cash when someone asks them to bet on a horse for them.

No wonder the wee man pocketed stake the money off that bully b@stard of a brother. Just a pity the horse won.
I'm sure I remember the bully waking his wee brother in the morning with the greeting "hands off cocks, on socks"...

Looking back I loved the music, but that era, was very drab, and depressing.
'Kes', 'Cathy Come Home' 'Poor Cow' etc..., just epitomized that mood.
