When Saturday Comes(1996)
To Jimmy Life Was Just A Game...Until The Game Became His Life!
Synopsis
Jimmy Muir comes from a typical gritty, northern town where there are only two options: working down the pit or in a factory. But Jimmy has other ideas — he dreams of becoming a professional footballer. Confronted by a bitter and unsupportive father, hard-drinking friends and a lifetime of bad habits...has Jimmy the will to achieve his ultimate goal?
Directed by Maria Giese
