- Synopsis:
- Welcome to England, 1969 and welcome to the worst football team in Britain. Dave Roberts (Brenock O'Connor) is an average 14-year-old boy, but there's nothing average about the adventure he's about to embark on. Dave loves his local team but each week Bromley FC slide further down the league and face the double-edged threat of bankruptcy and relegation. When a chance discovery throws Dave's world upside down he is presented with the opportunity to take the fate of the side into his own hands...by becoming the club's new manager.

Cartoon comedy re football in north Kent! Based on a true story... - The Bromley Boys review by PV
OK so this film is about football and coming of age - as is the wonderful Britflick SIXTYSIX which is funnier and better.
However, this is worth a watch and I enjoyed it - a brilliant visual gag at around 30 mins in is worth watching the whole film for.
At the end we see the REAL people who the characters are based on, and what happened to them.
All a bit silly, but captured the 1970s well - early 70s from 1970-74 or so, when Leeds United were the top club in the UK.
This movie captures the tedium of growing up in the northern Kent suburbs well too.
Not so sure about Alan Davies and his voice over - but 3 stars.
